• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must also say that we look upon Mr. Kimaiyo to ensure the kind of things that was going around called Kwe Kwe Squad eliminating young men should never exist in this country. If somebody is guilty, let him be taken to court. I stand to support Mr. Kimaiyo and ask this Parliament to actually strengthen the Police Department. view
• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to thank the President. We have a testimony that he inspired some of us and that is why we are in this House. He remains, to my constituency and the Nyeri County, one of the best examples of leadership. One interesting thing is that the President has hardly changed since we knew him as a Member of Parliament, Vice-President and now as the President. He has remained natural. It is not very easy. We should all emulate that kind of humility to remain yourself, natural and committed to the ideals and virtues that you hold. ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the hon. Member to agitate the people of Kayole on the Floor of this House? Hon. Waititu has already apologized and that matter should be left to rest. But he has continued reminding the Maasai of what happened. You are just agitating the people. Is that in order? view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the main responsibility for us, as leaders, is to have one Kenya. Whenever there is this violence, let us be honest, it does not just start with ordinary wananchi. Ordinary wananchi are guided. Therefore, I would like to appeal to this Committee not to spare anybody, and to come out and tell us the leaders who have been inciting members of the public in this area to war like--- view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: This gentleman! Okay. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Let me finish my point, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, but I welcome the comment from our new friend. I was saying that it is important for leaders in this House to start preaching unity to Kenyans. They need to preach to Kenyans to live as one. Kenya is one. It cannot be that because land is in a certain area, people cannot be settled there. These are the kind of things that are actually going to lead to more and more violence; but justice, of course, requires the people of the area to be considered. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Minister clarify why rejected goods would be allowed to be exported? If they are rejected they should be disposed of here. Why would you allow anybody to export the rejected goods? view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to, first of all, congratulate hon. Khalwale for bringing this Bill to the House. Any arrangement like the pyramid schemes is nothing other than something arranged by those who have intellectual capacity, and who sometimes have access to power, to steal from the poor. In this country, the ordinary people have been suffering for a long time. Money belonging to co-operative societies has been misappropriated. Pyramid schemes have no purpose other than stealing from the poor. Therefore, I would urge hon. Khalwale to look into introducing an amendment to provide for life ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, but I think you can indulge me for another two minutes. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Okay, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir and thank you. I must say that I support this Bill and I call upon the Government to take action against Bills that are passed here. It should not be like the Price Control Bill which we passed here, and I have been envisaging to bring amendments to it to force the Government to be tabling prices here because they seem to have forgotten the promise they made that they were going to regulate prices of essential commodities. view
