• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wanted to raise an issue. You have just ruled that my contribution to Mr. Otaalo’s request--- Your ruling was that I should put in a separate Statement but then the issues are related. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have been around as long as you. Maybe you have been around longer than me in this House. However, I have always seen that if there is an issue one Member can request for a Statement, interested Members can further add to that request.

I also want to disagree that they need to be inducted again. This is because you have done your bit as the leader of this House. So, that cannot be your responsibility.

• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I spoke here last week about the issue of rent seeking because it is out there. What you are being asked to rule upon should not be a question before you. If the Members of PIC and the Members of the Committee on Energy, Communication and Information cannot work together for the betterment and the good of Kenya, it is not the problem of the Speaker.
