• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, as hon. Members spoke on this Motion, various points came up. The current insecurity in the country has been cited as one of the biggest problems that are affecting all of us and the people we represent. There is the issue of identity cards, especially in the northern Kenya region and many other parts of the country. The issue of corruption at the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) also featured prominently. Other issues that hon. Members spoke about include the drugs problem, especially in the Coast region, and in many other places; the issue of migrant workers ... view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: One of the hon. Members said that Parliament has matured because the Mover is the Leader of the Minority Party. I want to confirm that we have matured, and that all that the minority party requires from the ruling party is respect for our leaders. As I predicted earlier, in six months’ time to one year’s time, this House will not be debating and taking sides on party lines, or on tribal lines. Those divisions will die with time but in order for us to achieve this, we must respect each other. We know that His Excellency the President respects ... view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I said from the outset that the former Prime Minister and the former Vice-President should be accorded the respect they deserve. They should be given the security and escort they require, as well as their pension and anything else they are entitled to. Once that is done, we will have no problem supporting the Jubilee Government to succeed. It is only when they trash our leaders that we take a different position. So long as things go well and we respect each other, we will also respect the leadership of this country. We know that the President ... view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: These two nominees have taught us one lesson. It has been said here by hon. Members that, irrespective of your position in life, in terms of where you were born and what your tribe and religion are; you can rise from ashes to the top leadership of this country. This was exhibited by hon. Kazungu Kambi, who was once a houseboy, but who is today a Cabinet Secretary nominee who has been cleared by this House for appointment. While I was seated here, hon. Jimmy Angwenyi and hon. Arati came to me. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. This is a very important Motion in that it seeks to address the very key issue about distribution of fertilizers. I want to make it very clear that in Kitui, where I come from, we never hear of subsidized fertilizers. We only buy the input at normal prices. It is as if when the NCPB talks about farming and fertilizers, they talk about the North Rift region and very few other places. We all do farming in our respective areas, and it would be wise for the ... view
