• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Under those circumstances, the other two officers, one who is supposed to be an ambassador somewhere--- Muchiri in Libya and Allan Mburu who have been mentioned in this Report need to do the needful as a matter of urgency. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is only in this country where you tell a politician to step aside. Stepping aside in the rest of the developed world or rather developing world where there is dignity and integrity does not exist; you resign or you are sacked. If you are found to be innocent, the same appointing authorities have still got the powers and the authority to appoint you to a position where they feel you can serve the country in a manner that is going to be beneficial to the country. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Mr. Otieno is not happy with the Report, he should reject it. He should support an amendment. The amendment essentially seeks to urge us to go ahead and adopt this Report but with certain deletions. So, if you are not happy with the Report the way it is, you should oppose it so that it is defeated. But you do not go there and say that because the Report is bad, I am going to support an amendment. Is the hon. Minister in order? view
• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Much obliged! I am on the Floor. Can you protect me from Mr. Otieno! view

• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the amendment. We have come out of a very powerful dispensation in this country; not only are the citizens of this country watching us, but the whole world is watching us. The biggest problem we have in this country is corruption itself. What we know is that corruption is at the top. When I say “at the top”, it is with the big people – the Cabinet and above.

• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am going to seek my clarifications, but before I do so, I rise on a point of order.

• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, let me now seek my clarification. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking my clarifications. To begin with, I must say that for once in a very long time, I am proud of my Ministry of Foreign Affairs and my Government too. For very long, we have never asserted our sovereignty as an independent country that actually earned its own Independence through the spilling of blood. We have acted as an appendage to the foreign policy of the super power. view
