• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this lady is going to be the Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Kenya. Therefore, it is expected that she is conversant with the supreme law of the land. I also note from her statements--- view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: I will not oppose because of the tyranny of numbers. view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: I also note from the interview conducted by the Committee that the hon. Judge commented that she does not encourage judicial activism, but judicious activism. Then she goes ahead to say that in terms of calamity one must make a ruling that would avert crises in the society. If you look at the curriculum vitae of the hon. Lady Justice you will realize that she has been appointed to various committees and commissions on behalf of the State. Therefore, I am wondering whether she is there to preserve the status quo. While I support this Report grudgingly I would ask ... view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is my friend, hon. Kajuju, in order to gag this House by saying that we should not be discussing the age of the nominee? view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Leader of the Majority Party, who is my friend, to suggest to this House that one can be judged by pedigree? That is, if your father was a High Court Judge and your grandfather was a Minister--- This is a country of equal opportunity! Is it in order for him to suggest that? view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion and also observe that there are some Members of this House who are still not in, at least, two Committees as is required by the Speaker’s ruling. This issue needs to be expedited because we are also missing our opportunity to participate in the Committees. In congratulating Mr. Kimemia I would also like to say that he needs to finish his degree. It has taken him nine years to finish his Masters. There is a fault in the way he has declared his annual income. You do not add Kshs1.2 million ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion about the poaching of elephants and the measures that need to be taken. If you look at the history of poaching, there has been an increase in the number of elephants that have been killed of late. There is a report showing that between December and January this year, at the Tsavo National Park, we have lost about 21 elephants purely because of poaching. The population of elephants in Kenya reduced from 275,000 in the 70s to 20,000 in 1989. The fact is that poaching is not necessarily linked to the ... view

• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the amendment and also reiterate the fact that we are legislating for posterity and we cannot be seen to be making Standing Orders that only fit the situation in this House. That is the same allegation that has been put across the Floor of this House. That is what happened with the current Standing Orders. I would like to disagree with hon. Linturi because Article 108 is not in resonance with the proposed amendment of this Motion. In fact, it actually supports. That is because the idea of having PAC and ... view
