• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues, hon. Members, who talked before me in also commending the Committee for having done a good job. We are trying to reform our country. We are in a reform era. A reform era is essentially not supposed to be a role for the conformist kind of a person. We need minds that are so radical that most of us will feel uncomfortable with them. I am impressed. I am happy that the team we have here will do that job. I am also very happy that somebody like Ahmednassir--- ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I do not wish to go back to what you have just ruled on, there is a very disturbing thing going on right now. Members of the Somali ethnic community are being rounded up every night as we are here. Could the Assistant Minister give an undertaking that this will stop? view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. Indeed, the Committee has done a commendable job, a very good job, indeed. They carried out their own vetting in a very extensive manner. The fact of the matter is that we will have Kenyans of integrity who will serve this nation with a lot of dedication.

• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are making a mockery of the practice of democracy and governance. What authority in law do we have of saying that a Minister has stepped aside? I only know of stepping aside when it comes to a corporate organization where you are a shareholder. Could the Prime Minister kindly explain that? view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join the other speakers in saying that the two members of the Government and the Cabinet did the right thing. But they should have done that much earlier than they did. But, nonetheless, we are here to reform the Government and Parliament. We have always campaigned on the platform of zero tolerance to corruption. If we were really for zero tolerance to corruption, we would not be the 154th most corrupt country in this world. We know that the amount of money that has been lost through corruption runs into billions and, over the years, ... view

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
