• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it correct for the Assistant Minister to say the matter is not as serious when we are talking about potential death of witnesses who are likely to give evidence to the International Criminal Court (ICC)? view

• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could the Member declare his interest in the matter since it is not the ladies who are raising the issue? view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that it is the Committee of the House that thwarted his plans to follow that procedure, could he consider bringing that policy to the main House so that we can amend it and, if necessary, divert those funds to the constituencies? We can spend that money to build computer labs? view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister complained that it is the House Committee that refused. So I am asking him: Could he consider bringing it to the main House so that we can consider the proposal that was rejected by that Committee and, if necessary, amend it? We can send that money to the constituencies directly! view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister said that the only reason why that policy has not been implemented is because the House Committee rejected it. I am asking him: Would he be prepared to bring it to the main House? I am talking about the policy that was rejected by a Committee of this House. Could he consider bringing it to the main House so that we could consider it? We can amend it to make sure that those funds are not returned to the Treasury. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr., Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. It is a historic moment, indeed, that finally, we can stand before this House and say that we have a real opportunity of giving this country a new Constitution. A Constitution for which many people have fought and for which many have died. It is important, as we stand in this House to celebrate an occasion like this one, to recognise the fact that we, as the National Assembly, today are not sitting as a legislative body. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of confusion that ... view

• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: We have five years within which to enact legislation on consumer protection as provided for in Article 46. When it comes to fair and administrative action provided for in Article 47, we have four years within which to enact this legislation. It is all set out there. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, all the concerns of hon. Members relating to when life begins and family organization--- We have made provisions for this. The CoE in its wisdom and the PSC set out in this Constitution a Schedule which if we faithfully adhere to, all the concerns that are being raised ... view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: The reason that a lot of concerns are being raised about this Constitution and the reason why proposals are being made for amendments of the Constitution is because the areas provided for in the transition period have not been addressed. If we can address those issues at the right time, then we will get a Constitution because no Constitution will ever be perfect and no document even the amendments we bring to this House will ever be perfect. They will never be agreeable to 100 percent of Kenyans. So, let us get what has been carefully thought out. Let us ... view
