• 5 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: But he is a party leader, hon. Speaker. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party has indeed raised a matter that is weighty. The last two weeks have not been very kind to Members of the august House. I said yesterday in the House Business Committee (HBC) that in the social media, there is a call for the destruction of this House. Al Shabaab is being invited to come, when the session is beginning and everybody is seated, and blow up this House. In the eyes of many Kenyans, we are not worthy to be living with the rest of Kenyans. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: 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
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: What the Leader of the Majority Party is trying to raise is important to the image of all of us; we cannot run away from it. Sometime back, hon. Duale and I raised an issue about rent-seeking. Some of our colleagues vilified us then but now, there seems to be some loud silence about this issue. We will go down if nothing is done.

Even regarding the monies in question that Members keep talking about on corridors, we want to know who ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Members of Parliament; people who have Parliamentary duties at heart to review these Standing Orders so that we make our legislative process air tight and free from corruption. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: We must have a way of dealing with Members who think they can get away with matters just by accusing others. Hon. Speaker, I want to plead with you. We are in the midlife of this Parliament. This is a good time to form a team. I want to repeat that if hon. Duale was the Chairman of a certain committee, Jubilee would call a meeting and deal with him away from these corridors. That is important and that shows it works and we will not be the first ones to do it. Thank you. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just needed your guidance because I wanted to raise an issue on a matter which is on the Order Paper. I had consulted with you on the same. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is Order No.11. I had requested you to, through Standing Order No.1, give direction on the same because we have Members here who sit in the Members’ Welfare Committee, and the meeting is going on. Therefore, I seek your indulgence. view
