• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to thank the media for the good work they did in creating awareness about this Motion, as after a few days we had the required numbers. I want to state that the Cabinet Secretary, Ms. Ann Waiguru, talked to me twice on phone and I clearly told her that I was not ready, nor was I able, to control the events of the unfolding events. Realizing the matter was more serious than she thought, she used hon. (Ms.) Mbarire and hon. Mbiuki, who are my very close friends and I found myself in a meeting with her on ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: We discussed this matter and both agreed that it was not possible to save her. Three days later, we had a meeting where hon. (Ms.) Mbarire, hon. Mbiuki and the Chief Executive of this country sat, discussed this matter and I tried also to explain how difficult it was to withdraw the Motion. Having had a relationship with him, I pleaded to be given more time to give it a second thought. From there, we attended the wedding of hon. Gatobu, the Member of Parliament for Buuri, and to anybody who cared to follow the proceedings; I was under a ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Leaders of the Majority Party of the National Assembly and the Senate conducted a vote from the public on whether they supported my withdrawal of this Motion and the vote was in the affirmative. In response, I asked them for time to consult with the owners of the Motion who were Members of Parliament. I invited the Members to a breakfast meeting in Panafric Hotel, where we deliberated on the matter and some of the Members were not ready to listen. The resolution of the breakfast meeting was to proceed with the Motion and I addressed the media, giving ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: From the Panafric Hotel, I drove to Jacaranda Hotel poolside where I shared with hon. (Ms.) A .W. Ng'ang'a, hon. Mwiti Irea and hon. Ichung‘wah. It was at that meeting where one Njee Muturi and Jomo Gecaga joined us. After some deliberations, Mr. Njee Muturi gave me a letter to sign, which I did. You will remember that on the eve of the fateful day, the letter to withdraw this Motion was brought past 8.00 p.m. to Parliament by Mr. Njee and Mr. Jomo. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: In the list of the alleged corrupt officers presented to this House by His Excellency the President, an officer in the office of the Deputy President is alleged to have used Kshs100 million to mobilize Members of Parliament against this Motion. This creates the impression, or the insinuation, that being the Mover of the Motion, I was the first person to benefit from the alleged amount of Kshs100 million, which is untrue. My zeal and vigour to fight corruption speaks for itself. It was during my time, as the Chairman of the Public Investments Committee (PIC), in the Tenth Parliament ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It is also evident that through a Question that I raised on the Floor of this House, I questioned the manner in which the then City Council of Nairobi had purchased cemetery land. I am the one who brought up this matter. From the investigations that ensued, many officers, including a Permanent Secretary and Chief Officers, lost their jobs and they are now answering to charges of corruption in the courts of this country. view
