• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am addressing myself specifically to the prayers being alleged or which will be held on Monday. What the hon. Member may be talking about cannot be other public gatherings. He is misleading this House. My point of order was, he is summarily and generally condemning all types of prayers and as a Christian--- view
• 7 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the prayers that were held and which I actually attended in a church were for this nation. As a Christian, this nation requires prayers and any hon. Member or leader who does not recognize that and condemns prayers is not in order! view

• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I also wish to congratulate the President for his timely and wise Speech which he gave yesterday. I would also like to congratulate and thank the Speaker for coming out very clear on the various things that we are witnessing in this country and which only us national leaders can bring solutions to.

• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me say that we are talking of Vision 2030. If we are not careful, it will be Vision 3020.

We normally travel to Malaysia and California to observe their super highways. Let us know that Vision 2030 has to do with every Kenyan having a descent meal on his table. Let us know that Vision 2030 should have to do with creation ... view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of food should also be addressed by the Vision 2030 as a priority. How does Swaziland afford to feed its people? They took a bold decision and said: “We will subsidize agriculture.” They gave their people free fertilizer and seeds. Today, Swaziland is exporting food. It is a shame for this country not to do the same. This country is not dry. We should put water in Ukambani, and we would not need to import oranges from Egypt. So, let us get to these basic things. view

• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. When we go for recess, unfortunately, we will witness some situations in this country which we never seem to address. Let me start by saying that the survival of the common man is threatened in this country. The peace of this country cannot be guaranteed until we ensure that the common man can access basic commodities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today, every Member of Parliament here is faced by his constituents with demands for basic things like medical care, school fees and even food at times. It is high time ... view
