7 May 2009 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. I wish to congratulate the Committee for doing a wonderful job. Interviewing over 1,000 people is not an easy task. Indeed, they have been burning the midnight oil to do so. We must congratulate them for a job well done. Apart from that, just looking at the names of those appearing on the list; starting with the Chairman, what you see is merit in actually selecting those nominees. What you see is regional and gender balance. Indeed, we must congratulate the Committee and approve these names, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order to request a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Agriculture in respect of supply of maize to this country. I would like the Minister in his Statement to indicate why, in spite of the Government allowing millers to import maize and other cereals duty free and the Government spending billions of shillings to import maize, the prices of maize and maize flour continue to skyrocket beyond the means of ordinary Kenyans.

5 May 2009 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. May I also take this opportunity to support and welcome the Presidentâs Address, which came at a very historic time. Indeed, the Speaker of this House eloquently captured the mood and the moment in the nation. We must congratulate the Speaker because of his wise and historic landmark ruling that has enabled the business of this House to move forward and the nation as well. He said that history is beckoning us to enter its annals as that generation of politicians that rose to the occasion when it was expected to. That generation ...

5 May 2009 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Tenth Parliament or the President and the Prime Minister will rise to the occasion as the Speaker said. Sometimes, we wonder whether the Tenth Parliament will be the one that enters and finds a distinguished place in the annals of history as the Parliament that gave this nation the Constitution that they had long desired; as the Parliament that brought about reforms in our institutions, whether it is the Judiciary, the police and other institutions in this nation.

That spirit behind the Accord is rooted in dialogue, consultation and compromise. Unless we are able to embrace that, we will not be able to discharge our obligations that are very heavy. They are looking at us as we move forward.
