• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, from this report, the professor continued and said that when you look at the effects of miraa and the effects of tobacco and beer, they are incomparable. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Why is miraa being demonised? It is because it is grown by very poor farmers. There is no multi-national company that has found any potential in terms of economy in miraa to come and invest in it. But you find tobacco that kills thousands and that is directly associated with lung cancer, is one of the highest earners of revenue to the ... view

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I want to plead with this House, and I am happy that every speaker who has spoken would want to find a situation where the Government can also be in a position to invest and come up with the right report on this mainstay of the economy of the people of Nyambene so that in future we get away from this situation whereby every Government that comes fights miraa and that kind of thing. view

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thirdly, let me also say that the advisers of the President are also working in cahoots with others so that there is a conflict between the Office of the President and the people of Nyambene.

• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to seek further clarification from the Leader of Majority Party in regard to the discussions that were held in Senegal. If you allow me, I just want to read a paragraph of the Third Schedule of our Constitution on the oath of office that the Chief Justice took. It says that:- “(The Chief Justice/President of the Supreme Court, a Judge of the Supreme Court, a Judge of the Court of Appeal, a Judge of the High Court) do (swear in the name view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. What informs my decision is that when you look at this HCC No.845 of 2003, between Otieno Mak’Onyango and Anthony Njung’u, this innocent Kenyan was charged and prosecuted maliciously.

We have other Kenyans who in view of the political positions that they took in those early years of the 90s, they found themselves behind bars for reasons that were not warranted. view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will be very brief because most of what I would have said has been said. I know that the Standing Orders prohibit being repetitive. I wish to thank the Chair of the Committee of the whole House and the Members that were present for saving this day. I would liken today to a story in the Bible, although I am not that prayerful. I would liken it to a situation where two mothers went before the King to ask for one particular child - I stand to be corrected by those who know the Bible - but ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Is hon. Manson Nyamweya from Kisii in order to mislead this House and the country that the function of health should not be a function of the governors and yet, in the Constitution itself, which he had supported ignorantly without knowing, health is a devolved function to the counties? view
