• 18 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I plead with you. Lastly, I want to ask you to respond to the constitutional issues raised by Members of Parliament. That is how it works. It has worked for you and us. I beg you to use your office and give us proper guidance. I thank you. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: The leader was there. A leader can never be absent. Power hates vacuum. I rise to second and tell the Leader of Majority Party that hon. Nyenze here has an able assistant. He does not need one. Even you, you need to tell yours to be available all the time. Hon. Speaker, I rise to second. I only want to say that I agree with everything as said by the Leader of Majority Party. I think Parliament needs to be here to deal with a few issues, especially this one on the nomination of our colleague Maj-Gen. Nkaissery. That is ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Instead of blaming the Executive, we need to help them sort it out. It is a serious problem. You have the AP in camps, but they have refused to respond or co-operate with the Inspector General (IG) of Police. The AP used to report to the District Commissioners (DCs). I am of the opinion that if the DCs who are still in office had powers over the AP, probably, Kapedo would never have happened. The same applies to Baragoi and even Mandera. That is because the training of the regular police is different from that of APs. We used to ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Speaker. But I was only elaborating one point, I apologise. Our people and this country need to understand the magnitude of the problem. People need to understand, both Members and non-Members, that blame-game will not sort us out the country. Our people are dying in a wanting nature. We need to sort it out. I know the rules of the House. I do not want to take too much of the time given to me but I am saddened as a leader in this country that thus far, this House is looking helpless. If we are helpless, who ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I believe that what is going on is with a light touch. We have extended our sitting time to deal with real issues. It is out of order for hon. Kajuju to be so passionate about a very unlawful thing. A couple of weeks ago, a list was brought here, which already denominated the said Members from Committees. That argument belonged to that day. As to how to run our political parties or coalition, it is our business. It cannot be hon. Kajuju’s business. The fact that somebody does not know--- view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want my dear friend, hon. Kajuju, to relax. It is good to learn procedures because we are going through so many challenges. As to hon. Musyoka, if it may please the House, she requested the CORD Coalition to be replaced. It would be for her to protest. Her decision is none of any Member’s business. She is not obliged to clarify to anybody. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I always say that what is bedevilling CORD will, in the very near future, arrive on the other side. It is just a matter of time. We want both CORD and the other side, particularly TNA - because I do not see so much “war” in the URP--- We must be tolerant, both in CORD and TNA, so that we can move together, as a House. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Mbarire, let me just inform you that your day for the shoe to pinch is just around the corner. Trust me, because I know it. I do not want to say it here because it is coming. Therefore, I am only urging for tolerance. Lastly, if the same list had emanated from the Jubilee Coalition, CORD would have very little to say because the law does not allow. I am saying this in light of what is about to happen here, in terms of nomination of our representatives in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). We have gone through ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: This Motion is merely procedural. We are not doing it in bad faith but I want to plead with my Whip and my party that staying together makes more sense than being divided. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
