• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, this is a good proposal. However, it appears like Members of Parliament are very keen when it comes to vetting others. Yesterday when we were passing the Leadership and Integrity Bill, it was becoming--- view
• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: It becomes very sensitive when we touch on the possibility of vetting Members of Parliament. I want to put it this way, that we need to look at the time when we are in the Government and at the time when we shall also be in the Opposition. We should be long-term and not make these decisions as if we shall always be on this side. I want to say that if we are going to subject this position to parliamentary approval, it is only fair to treat it as we have done to others, including the position of the ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I feel the question of regulations is better left to the implementing agencies and departments. Many times we have made laws, but left regulations to be made by the implementing Ministries. I beg to oppose. view

• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to, reluctantly, support the Motion. I support the Motion because we must move on, given that we have a duty to perform, as Members of Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in August, 2010, two years appeared to be very far.

In underlining the importance of this Bill, while the Constitution places, as we all know, a very high premium on the openness, freedoms and accountability of the people of Kenya, we are being called upon to ensure that we strike a balance between the extent to which the citizens of this Republic can exercise those rights and freedoms and also safeguard the interests of the wider good of the ... view
