That was informed by the fact that we have distinct constitutional functions as the two Houses. But I have a big problem deleting these Committees. Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, the argument here is that we should do things as we have done them in the past. We are living under a new dispensation. These Committees are necessary. I do not think there is anything wrong with us having national security committee separate from that one of defence. As it is, some ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, in that regard, I think these Committees should remain as they are and should not be related. With those remarks, I oppose the amendment. view

• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. There are many important businesses that we need to transact. We owe it to Kenyans that we give enough time so that we can clear as much business as we can. For that reason, I support the Motion. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to support this Motion on the appointment of the new Inspector-General of Police, Mr. David Kimaiyo.

Although I do not know him in person, I think he is a very credible Kenyan who should be supported and view

• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the law of this land is that whenever such a factory is established, a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment is done.
