• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Obama beat two veteran senators: The Senator of New York, Mrs. Clinton in the primaries and this morning he beat the Senator of Arizona, Mr. McCain, to become the President of the USA. We are celebrating because he overcame great odds, and as we speak, he has become the leader of the free world. He could only do so because of institutions. Great institutions that have been established over 200 years by the American people to embrace democracy. That is why a young man who, in spite of his age and inexperience, in spite of the colour of his ... view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister's colleague, Mr. Mbiuki, told us here two weeks ago that this fertiliser should have been here last Friday and if the fertiliser did not come, he was going to resign.

• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise also to support the Motion. I wish to thank and congratulate my friend, Dr. Eseli, for bringing this very important Motion to the House. It could not have come at a better time as the nation prepares to embark on the journey towards the completion of the Constitutional Review process, in which I believe that the centre piece should be devolution. As we complete the review process, we are going to expect that the future of this country will embrace devolution and will have more funds being devolved to the regions through the ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this very important Motion. I want to thank the Minister for Energy for being in the House. When the matter came up, there was a lot of interest in this Question, but there was not enough time. This is something that touches on every Kenyan, the lowly and the mighty.

Last year, ploughing an acre of land cost ... view
• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Motion. This a very important Vote.

Poverty ensures hunger in this nation. When you look at the three, you will find that a nation that is not self-sufficient in food--- A hungry nation cannot be a stable nation! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that, amongst the three, if we were to look ... view
