• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand corrected. Given my sitting position on that particular day, the House was very chaotic. As a matter of fact, I only realised that some people left with half trousers. I could not see and hear everything. So, I apologise profusely to my good friend and brother, Hon. Kaluma. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I want to continue on my line of argument that we need to be honest in this House. We have to do what we profess. You cannot come here as Members of Parliament who are elected equally by Kenyans, and make some Members of Parliament lesser beings by denying them the right to sit in committees to represent their own electorates. Everybody comes here to represent the interest of a constituency. That is why every Tom, Harry and Dick cannot come to this House and be given a position to talk or sit. You sit here on the strength of ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I have watched with a lot of keen interest, the indecent haste with which we have tried to get some people back as we leave some in the cold, in the name of acting for political leaders. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The political leaders behind these appointments are not visible in this House. Everybody I have asked has said this is the party leadership. The party is signified by one person. Lenthall talked about the party being a structure which is composed of people who have common interest. When you look at some of the people here, they do not represent the interest of those absentee landlords who call themselves the party leaders. They do not have anything. Some of them do not know how a golf club looks like. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Is the CORD leader in order to use a victim of their non-democratic tendencies as an example? He could have used anybody else, not me, a victim who suffers and is mourning under the weight of their draconian and dictatorial tendencies. Is he in order to use my name as a representative of the great and resilient people of Mwingi North who I represent in this House; the people who he and his colleagues have victimised by excluding me from representing them in the two committees? Thank you. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Duale is a very good friend of mine, but he seems to have forgotten the history and development of the Kamba political terrain. Machakos District has five Members of Parliament who are not Members of the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM). Only three are. Hon. Duale has offered me an ambassadorial position in Zimbabwe. That shows that there is life after Parliament. He has just certified this House to be a House of sycophants. view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to reluctantly support this Motion. I want to notify this House that elections are not won or lost on the voting day. There are people who are progressively losing the next election. An election victory or loss is a process that starts from campaigning, registration, mobilisation of equipment and voting. There are now people who are obsessed with the removal of IEBC commissioners. I would like to remind the nation that those commissioners are not from Mozambique or Benin but from Kenya. I wish we could start off by looking and analysing what went ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is something wrong in this House. It is turning out to be a market place. view
