• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know a Cabinet Minister was on record as saying that they use the flag just to beat the traffic. So, hon. Keynan must go further and I am happy that he is proposing further that the people to use sirens should be the President, his Deputy and the two Speakers so that we can have order in our country. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The Chief Justice and ambulances so that every Kenyan obeys traffic rules. This will ensure that we create order on our roads. As a Parliament we have a duty to help create order under the new constitutional dispensation. I want to urge many of our colleagues to help in doing this because there are hundreds of new legislations that we must bring to this House. view

• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Sorry to interrupt you, hon. Speaker, but before you put the Question to this item on the Order Paper, out of concern, I beg your indulgence. Since we passed this Bill last week, there has been a lot of noise directed towards Parliament and, in particular, male Members of Parliament. I wish to put the record straight because the reputation of this House is on the line. First of all, there is an attempt from some quarters to dictate the independence of this Parliament and to dictate how we debate independently and objectively ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: You can say “New York”, but every hon. Member is elected to come here and represent Kenyans here and not in New York. New York cannot be so important. A request could have come to the Chair or the HBC to delay the debate on the Bill until some hon. Members are in the House. It is wrong for somebody to say that the men are using their numbers. That day, there were less than 40 hon. Members of the male gender. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: You will have your time. Let me just talk. The other issue I want to raise is that on this Bill, which the Chair is supposed to put the Question, there was not a single clause that attempted to abolish polygamy. Nobody stopped anybody from amending the Bill and this was an opportunity to abolish 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
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: polygamy. That would have been an issue of debate and that is the work of hon. Members. Even so, some hon. Members are being hypocritical and saying that we stood on this side--- Hon. Speaker, an hon. Member raised the issue here but he never attempted to bring it to the attention of the Chair that he had an amendment to abolish polygamy. So, he is a hypocrite who is trying to tarnish the name of other hon. Members. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I also want to say this: With all due respect to the church, we want them to use legal experts. If we are going to talk about issues of marriage, we will never interfere with them. They need to ask somebody to read the Bill for them before spending a whole Sunday demonizing hon. Members. I feel very offended because issues which were never canvassed on the Floor of the House are issues which have been subject of debate. I even saw it on Al Jazeera TV. It is not fair to us. If you are going to ... view
