• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak to this Motion. From the outset, may I say that today I am a very happy man. I want to take the earliest opportunity to congratulate His Excellency the President for bringing this gracious lady’s name for passage by this Parliament. It has been long overdue. I think I will not be wrong to say that the whole country is waiting for Parliament to approve the appointment of Dr. Lydia Nzomo to head the TSC. The reason is as has been explained by the Committee that has ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the interest that I have is that she comes from my county and the extra interest is that she was born in my county. We gave her to the Kambas, who have been taking care of her. That is why I am saying that we are in a win-win situation for the Kamba, the Meru and the people of Kenya.

• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: surrounding the whole of the ICC debate, in my view, have been discussed out of a lot of ignorance of our law, and even our Constitution.

Unless this country starts a system of trying to get itself out of that law, then we will permanently remain subject to that law. Article 143 of the Constitution also provides that any criminal act that a President commits in office, the immunity provided for that particular act ... view

• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to agree with you that the matter at Order No.10 is a very important matter to this House. I am seeking your guidance because we may have a serious problem with numbers; you need to communicate to Members, or chairpersons of committees who continue to ask hon. Members to go for committee meetings when we have this very serious Motion before the House. I have just seen a message calling me for a meeting, and I do not think that it is in order; we really have to dispense with this. Just in case ... view
