• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Number two - and this one is to the ladies who have raised the issue to do with Clause 7 - my attention has been drawn to the definition of the term “contribution”. The term “contribution” has been expanded to take into account non-monetary support of a husband; meaning for instance, society has been captured. It, therefore, means that contribution is no longer monetary. It does also include society and being together with a woman for instance. So, therefore, I would foresee when these matters are taken to court such other forms of support will not be taken into account ... view

• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, is the hon. Member in order to refer to the petitioner in question as Irungu instead of referring to him as Riungu to the extent that he is confusing people? view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for a Member who is contributing to change his language from English to Kiswahili and from Kiswahili to English? Is it in order under the Standing Orders? view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I would like to declare that I am a member of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and also that I participated in all proceedings related to this matter.

We went to Mombasa to do this report and no member of the Committee gave a divergent opinion relating to this matter. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like also to comment on the nature of this scandal. This country has ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I also want to draw the attention of the Members to the point that initially the tender committee had given an award of 20,000 metric tonnes. How that was inflated again to 40,000 metric tonnes is something that we have never understood. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On the argument relating to people who have been involved in this matter, several recommendations have been made relating to judicial members. It is high time Members of Parliament started questioning how the judicial members have been handling some key matters, particularly this issue. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I draw the attention of the Members to the arbitral award. If you look at the claim that was filed by Erad before the arbitrator, you will find that there are some prayers which were granted by the arbitrator and those prayers are not in the claim by Erad. My question is: How can an arbitrator give an award that is not prayed for? That is an issue that can form a good ground for investigation against the lawyer who did that. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Another issue relates to the files missing at the courts’ registry. For those of us who have been practising in courts, we know how corruption happens in the court registry. You will file an application under a certificate of urgency and when you appear before a judge, you are supposed to be heard ex parte, that is the other party is not supposed to come and hear your application in the first instance. But suddenly, you see the lawyer representing your adversary appearing before the court. The question you ask yourself is, how did my colleague know that I had ... view
