• 3 Aug 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Miriti is my friend and I do not want to respond to that. The electoral registers are not up to date. They have been there for nearly 20 years. We have only been making new registrations. The names of people who have died are still there. The other day, I heard the ECK Chairman saying that they are going to up-date the registers. There is no point of up-dating these registers. They should be scrapped and we start new registrations. If nearly one-third of the names in the register are dead, is that an ... view

• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to also support this Motion. As much as we all agree that this was a poor man's Budget, there are certain areas that show that this is mainly a tax Budget. We cannot live in a country where whenever we want money, we must tax our people. Kenyans are already too taxed compared to those other African countries. The capital gains tax used to be there before and it was removed. The majority of our people sell their properties because they are not able to manage their finances. Some ... view
• 29 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say they were killers. I said some hon. Members of this House supported the Margaryan group and it is public knowledge. They were up here. When we said these people were not good, some of them were quarrelling and fighting us. I do not know how much they earned from those people. This is all corruption.

When the truth is found, the Government is the first one to say they ... view
• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Well, I am surprised to hear from the hon. Member that these guys are not Armenians, yet the Minister for Immigration is on record to have told us that they are Armenians. Where did he get this information? Could he substantiate? view

• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. The President's Speech was very juicy. He always does that. Even before he became the President, his speeches were very good. The problem is action. He has now given the Government a challenge. It is now the responsibility of the people who are in the Government to take action. I do not know whether they will do it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been talking about tribalism. Today, tribalism is worse than ever before. It is the Government that is leading in tribalism. ... view
• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: That is because he was a Luhya! view
• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: The replacement, the one from Mt. Kenya region, has been given a five-year term. Is that fair? view
• 23 Mar 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will say more and more. But since he knows that I am saying the truth, I do not have to go further. The reason that is always given is that those people are employed because they are more qualified than others. Today, if you wanted a Vice-Chancellor from Turkana, you will get one! view
