• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment very much because there has been this confusion of whether Saturday is a working day or not. This makes it very clear that we, the Adventists, are not required to go to work on Saturday, even though somebody might interpret it differently; the spirit of this is very clear that you start work on Monday and you end on Friday. I know lawyers will argue on the wording. view

• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to address myself to this Motion. I will cynically support this Policy Paper because as a country, we are very good at making policies but we do nothing with them. Our policy books are full. The shelves are full with policies made on each and every subject. People use our policies to develop their countries. We never utilise those policies in Kenya to develop our economy.

Our country has had an official State policy of marginalisation of certain communities and religious groups. Over time, this has had an effect on the way Kenyans relate. There is a feeling in certain quarters that certain ethnic groups have advantages in this country that others do not have. If you heard what President Obama said which has been repeated over and over about a child born in Nyanza, it shows you that certain regions of this country, ... view

Centralization of Government services in Nairobi is bleeding resources from the peripheral areas. Why would somebody move from Turkana to Nairobi to get a service that Article 6 (3) of the Constitution already demands that it should be available there? These things make people from such areas feel that they are not as Kenyan enough as they should be. The other thing I would like to talk about is unequal application of the law. That is two individuals committing the same ... view
