• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, one and a half months is a very long period. I am of the view that it should be within two weeks. This will be sufficient. I think our colleagues from Nigeria have already shown us the way. They can always give us counsel. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: But one and a half months is long! view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. When the Chairman was referring to the discussion on gayism, he said that they asked the person his view on gays on the basis that gay issues are issues of equality.

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 be amended by deleting sub-clause (3). This sub-clause indicates that the headquarters of the Media Council will be in Nairobi. In my opinion, we need not make the headquarters very static because we cannot foretell the future.

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, well to me this Media Council is what it is to journalism. So, therefore, I thought this is where we are supposed to deal with all matters relating to journalism. Take for instance the Council for Legal Education, it handles universities, colleges and everything. So, I thought with this entity, in a similar manner, it is going to handle universities, for instance the School of 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
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Journalism at the University of Nairobi (UoN), Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC) at South B and so on. So, therefore, it is an all and encompassing entity. It is only dealing with issues to do with journalism. So, therefore, if I was for instance to do this amendment in the Universities Act, I would be out of order because the Universities Act is a specific Act that deals strictly with issues relating to universities. That body which is created by the Universities Act does not have power over colleges. Since the Media Council is the entity that is strictly ... view
