• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On the issue of masks and the messaging as far as COVID-19 is concerned, we cannot afford to send mixed messages to our people. If you say that you can either have your mask or not, this is what the people out there will follow. The biggest example on this issue of masks is the CS for Health who gives briefings every day. He has to have his mask on so that people can follow. People have raised that question all the time. If we say that social distancing is this much and we do ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.95 to move that the Mover be now called upon to reply. The reason for this is that when Members registered for this first sitting of Parliament, there were two items on the agenda. If this sitting ends, there will be another set of Members coming in the afternoon and those Members are a totally different set, and differently selected depending on the matters on the Order Paper. Therefore, Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is on that basis that I move that the Mover be called upon to reply. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Even though we did not agree politically always with the late Mzee Moi, I would like to give my condolences and those of the people of Homa Bay County. On behalf of my late father, who served as a councillor and Chairman of Kitimu County Council during Moi’s time, I would like to give my condolences. They were close. They worked closely together. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I remember President Moi as a sharp communicator. He communicated simply, consistently and precisely. For example, the common slogan, s iasa mbaya maisha mbaya is simple, but it carries a very loaded statement. That is how President Moi communicated. If you did not hear his communication in his speeches, you would hear it in songs. Every morning, you woke up and heard songs about mmomonyoko wa udongo . We remember those things because President Moi communicated consistently. view

• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.95 to move that the Mover of this Motion be called upon to reply, so that we can vote on it. Further debate on this Motion, given your directions, which we understand, will make it quite complicated. This matter is like the issue of the chicken and egg. For us to debate this matter, we have to make reference to the matter that you have embargoed. Rather than continue the debate in a manner that breaches your own direction, I plead that the Mover be called upon to reply so that ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I said if it ever does – the matter that has been embargoed. I know it is not before this House; it is before the DCI, but what we are saying is that it is impossible to debate this Report without touching on the matters that the Hon. Member was touching on. I move that the Mover be called upon to reply. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of information. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for indulging me. Is the Member in order to insinuate… view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The Member for Tiaty, Hon. Kamket Kassait. This tall man from Pokot, is he in order to insinuate that women have been taking advantage of a fallacy that they are the weaker gender when, indeed, women are greatly disadvantaged by the placing of society as far as politics is concerned? We know that in other spheres of society, women are equally disadvantaged. Women have to leave their homes and run to other places. So, insinuating that women take advantage of a situation is wrong. I urge that he withdraws that very blasphemous statement and apologise to the great women in ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: (Homa Bay CWR, ODM) Hon. Speaker, I just want to add to the issue raised by the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and to state that it is a broader issue. Appropriation of monies is done by this House under Article 221 of the Constitution. It might happen to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and if we do not deal with it, then it is something that can be done by other Ministries as well. In my view, Hon. Speaker, if you indulge me, before we bring the report, the House should pronounce itself on ... view
