• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to add my voice in support of this Motion because I was also listed. I want to make a statement that any Constitution that does not respect life, does not have any authority to be supported. Life begins at conception. In the Holy Book, it is stated in the book of Jeremiah that “before you were formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you”. So, any other statement contrary to that is a fallacy and cannot be supported. I have heard arguments from medical practitioners but I want to make a statement. No known ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, I support this amendment that we should delete Clause 2, 3 and 4 in its entirety because if it is passed the way it is, it gives a lot of room for medical practitioners--- view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the amendment and the suggested amendment to the amendment. I see a clear attempt to provide a legal window through which euthanasia, capital punishment, abortion in its various forms and words will be provided. I oppose this amendment and still stand by my support of the earlier amendment brought by hon. Murugi. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to give my support for the Draft Constitution before this House. However, before I say why I support this Draft Constitution, I think it would be in order for me to state why I have problems with the current Constitution. The current Constitution has a lot of defects, chief amongst them is that it puts too much power in the hands of one person. Again, power is concentrated in one region which is Nairobi. Secondly, it does not have adequate accountability measures that can help this country deal with corruption. Corruption ... view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for reasons best known to me, I am looking forward to the day we will have a real lady speaker in this House. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been rising on my feet since last week. All the time, I have not been noticed. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I want to make my contribution, having listened to the Presidential Speech which was quite bold. He suggested several reform measures. I hope that the country will be bold enough to implement the reform measures that will steer this country towards political stability and economic growth. If these measures are well implemented, we will get the social integration and cohesion that we have been talking about. view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, of particular interest is the President’s confirmation that the Government will re-introduce the Judicial Service Bill. This has been something that Kenyans have been agitating for, for a long time. If re-introduced and passed, it will give us judicial reforms and independence of the Judiciary that we have been looking for. I also support the President’s proposal to repeal the current Local Government Act. What is witnessed during election of mayors and chairmen of councils is nothing short of comedy where the mayors are elected because they are able to take councillors to resorts. So, ... view
• 9 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: In the recent past, the Kenyan community sent its own people to intervene in countries like Southern Sudan, Somalia and other countries. When we do that, we do that with a very good intention to bring peace and to achieve global peace that all of us are looking forward to achieving. It cannot, therefore, be that in our own country, when we invite the international community to come and help us at times of crisis, after achieving the much needed peace, we turn around and refer to these same people as external--- We now want to refer to their assistance ... view
