• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance. I also thank you for recognizing my spouse who, as you have already said, has The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: accompanied the students from Liyavo Secondary School seated in the Gallery for benchmarking. At the same time, I thank Hon. Otichillo for coming up with this very good Motion, which I would like to ask this House to pass. Those of us who have travelled know that Rwanda, and lately Tanzania, have dedicated a day in a month to clean the environment. I happen to have gone to Dar-es-Salaam, which had the same problem that Nairobi has. The first time President John Pombe Magufuli of Tanzania was to celebrate a national day, he dedicated it to cleaning up the environment. ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am perplexed at the genesis of the whole thing. We are talking about money which has no control. Nobody has control over that money. The CDF fund is controlled, budgeted for and audited. How are we going to audit the money that we are allocating? I want to ask you to give us time to look at the genesis of this allocation and understand the motive of this particular proposal. That is because as it is, people want to make money for the general elections. I beg you to give us time to seriously look ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have a different view all together. As much as I know that this has been mediated by both Houses, I know the essence of the whole thing is on how to have a strong democracy but, the threshold is a bit too high. In the past, we have had people who are actually good and popular on the ground but are rigged out at a certain stage. You will find that somebody who is very popular is rigged out and the only alternative is to go to a small party. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Personally, I would have been in this House almost 10 years ago but because of rigging, which my friend, Hon. Pukose, knows very well, I was not. He was referring to it because he was sympathising with me because I was supposed to be in this House much earlier but because of the big boys syndrome particularly the big parties which practise dictatorships, I was not. You will find that somebody who is popular on the ground is rigged out. It becomes who knows who. You will find that the most popular person who has spent time to grow his ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: As we sit here, most of these Members of Parliament, I am sure three of us must have come through small parties because big parties are a problem. They are dictatorial. They give you conditions that you are not able to meet and yet you are popular on the ground. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: As much as I agree that we need strong national parties, small parties should be given room so that they can also grow alongside. I know for sure that TNA and URP are merging into The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: one party. That is good for them. Some of them may not join them but we are saying that there are other guys who have very good people on the ground and they should be given time to come in through small parties. The threshold is too high. I would have wanted to change it to 10 Members of Parliament, 20 MCAs, one governor and two senators because I know it is difficult to get these numbers. Lastly, there is regional base but we are looking at a party which has a national outlook. My party, for example, does not ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just wanted to inform my good friend that both FORD(K) and WDM have membership throughout the country. If you do not know then please find out before you talk. It is wrong for you to tell this House that these are regional parties. view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the chance. First of all, I want to thank the President’s speechwriter. He wrote a very flowery speech. I sat hear listening to what the President was talking about; it was very flowery. However, compared to what we heard last year, I was a very disappointed person. One, I expected the President to talk about the Eurobond, which has been talked about many times. The President never talked about it. You and I as Kenyans expected the President to say something about the Eurobond because it is such an important issue that we talk about ... view
