• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am sorry that I have offended you. I think when we talk about somebody who believed in peace, and Kenyans are in a situation where there is no peace, it is an opportune moment for us to tell Kenyans, politicians and everybody that we are the ones who always destroy our country. We want to live like Gen Mulinge. view
• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this responsibility lies here. It cannot be taken anywhere else and through you we can make this country to the great nation that God so wishes it to be. I send my condolences, hon. Speaker. view
• 5 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Are you in love with my name, “Washington”? view
• 5 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I rise to support this Budget proposal and urge the hon. Member who is saying that it is very unfair to chill and wait for his turn. He may get a chance after the dialogue, but right now I am the one. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me first of all thank the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and his team for a job well done. It is tedious and usually when we go for recess people say that hon. Members of Parliament are doing nothing. I want to re-assure Kenyans that under the new order the Budgeting ... view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. This is something you really need to help us on. You have an entire section of this country being oppressed and depressed by the importation of sugar. There is so much corruption involved in this thing that if the Committee Chairs cannot tell us, then what are we supposed to tell our people? The industries are collapsing. If you cannot order them to come, maybe, we need the intervention of the Leader of Majority Party here so that something can happen. The industry has collapsed. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support and in so doing, I wish to point out that this is to comply with the constitutional requirement. Without saying much and analyzing from what the Majority Leader has said, and also by sending this Bill to the Committee, we will allow public participation in time for the Budget. I, however, do not agree that our recess should be eleven days so that we can be back here. It is an issue we will deal with at the end of the session today. We must come back after Easter. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am rather worried as to the trend which we are trying to establish. What this House is trying to do, in my view, will open a pandora’s box. I would rather suggest that if we are not clear about this procedure, we do not go on with this process today. Like the issue which has been raised by the Member from Meru, this is not a joke. Our job is to save Kenyans from suffering and the rules are very clear. The ruling which you have just read closes the window on any amendment and it ... view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think we are making very good progress. I beg the Majority Leader to hear us also. There are three issues I want to address; the first one is the provisions of the Constitution and the one for Standing Orders. Before I do that, I want to inform hon. Members that we have retreated to the back and consulted. We have said, we must find a way forward. We are going on recess, let us just calm down and leave here greeting each other without unnecessary acrimony. So, let us just reason. view
