It is said that CORD will organize a rally called “ Saba Saba” on Monday . May I remind the nation that, indeed, Saba Saba was an idea that was conceived in my constituency by my predecessor, hon. Kenneth Matiba and when he was conceiving that idea, the whole notion was about peaceful mass action, peace and specific demands.

It is very unfair for poor people of Kenya to carry the burden of some few rich politicians in Nairobi. Taking that into account, I have taken the trouble to look for politicians who are going to give hate speech. I have sent my investigators using my own resources to trace any politician who is going to give hate speech. view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: If the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) will not take action, I will institute private prosecution and go after each and every leader who will make hate speech in this country.

So, the question is: Is there a possibility where we can achieve what we want to achieve without creating a new authority? That authority is going to incur a lot of expenses. It is going to become a very big institution because ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree.

In my opinion, the scope is: Will this Bill, if enacted into law, affect primary school, secondary school, colleges or university qualifications alone?
