• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to support the Report of the 6th Session of the ACP Parliamentary Assembly and the 12th ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly. I have a few comments to make on this Report. I commend the hon. Members for producing this Report because many of our hon. Members go out to attend various meetings and yet we do not see their reports. I want to challenge the hon. Members of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP), where I was an hon. Member once and we laid a report here. Since the hon. Members were re-nominated and ... view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not intend to malign anybody. Some of these hon. Members do not carry themselves with dignity. view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I respect all hon. Members. However, I wish to proceed and say that some hon. Members do not carry themselves with dignity. When an hon. Member stands up and says that this country must fight one group of people and yet he is seeking to be the President of this country, what kind of an hon. Member are we talking about? What is this? How can we carry on with the politics of this country--- view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about the issue of governance which hon. Members represent. Let me move to the issue of small arms, which is covered in the Report. view
• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this hon. Member stood up in this House and said that the only man who can plan for this country is Prof. Anyang'-Nyong'o.

• 11 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you want me to withdraw the references, I withdraw them. I am addressing them as hon. Members of Parliament. As you know, the issue of increase in small arms is troubling this country. When a number of our people were killed, including some eminent professors who were killed in Ongata Rongai, a commentator in one of the FM radio stations, which I listened to very carefully, said that he wished that one Member of Parliament, who is a Minister, should be killed, so that the Government can take the necessary action. Then I was ... view
• 28 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to make a few comments on the exposition of public policy by the President in his Address. I want, first of all, to thank him for the very elaborate Address which touched on many aspects of our lives as Kenyans. I want to start by commenting on what some hon. Members were asking about the Kenya Vision 2030, which we are drafting for the country. I want to indicate that we are at the initial stages. Right now, we have scheduled meetings in every province from yesterday for the next ... view
• 21 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. In moving the Bill, the hon.

No Member of Parliament will have to just sit here and hear about electrification programmes without seeing something happening in his or her constituency. Therefore, the ERC will be extremely important for us. ... view
