• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to hon. Keynan, who is a respected legislator and a Member of this House, and my friend, hon. Opiyo, who has seconded this Bill--- I have looked at this Bill and tried to see which problem in Kenya exists and is so crucial that it requires a Bill of this nature to solve it but I have not seen any. I would imagine that there is a crisis in this country, and when The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: people go for public functions they do not know who is supposed to speak; that would be a serious problem in Kenya and we would have to enact a Bill of his nature.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country agreed to a devolved system of Government, where we have two tiers of Government. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you should apply sanctions against Hon. Wandayi. He is interfering with me for no reason. view

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hope you will give me two more minutes. The county assembly exists, but we have been fighting the MCAs every time saying they are traveling too much outside the country.

At the same time there was another delegation going somewhere else. Why are we not talking about our own travelling? We are only talking about travelling by MCAs. view
