• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to tell them why they are jittery. It is because you do not want to face the reality. Unless we look into historical injustices in this country, we shall never have a nation. Unless we think that even if one of us is affected, he can never be the millions of people. He can never be the millions of members of the Kikuyu community who are suffering without land in the Rift Valley region. He can never be the people of Mombasa--- view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, these people must help us to help this country because they are the ones who are suffering. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, whether they now pretend or they do not pretend, it will never work for them. People are dying because of land. You know that Kenyans have died. Why are you avoiding the problem? view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. I realize that this Motion came before the House. I want to plead with Members, particularly Members from the CORD side, one of the nominees is from this side. I plead with hon. Members to support this. The Chair told us that it makes good sense and it is an honor that if we bring a name here, we should as a Committee be the first one to support it. We cannot bring our own name, then come and oppose it. We cannot begin to discuss the merits and ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you also know that age is also catching up with him. He has been here for about 30 years. You can forgive hon. Keynan. I just want to support this Motion. We have other issues on the Order Paper which we need to go through as agreed so that we do not have to waste time on personal issues. I know there are one or two other Members who have issues with this particular nominee. We have spoken to some of them and I think they are non-issues and the country must move forward. The Commission must ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support. I want to thank the President for following what the law requires him to do and restore peace. The President has done a thing of honor. We are not always here to oppose. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: The talk that politicians are involved in this mayhem to our people must be dealt with and dealt with by what the President said. We cannot live as a lawless people. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have pictures which I want to table. When a lorry carrying food for the helpless was stopped and looted and torched and yet the police were guarding it, it is very sad. Maybe that is why the President is helpless. The President’s hands are tied. The police cannot help; he must use the highest force. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: It is important because these pictures need to be investigated because they appear to show one of our very own supervising this crime. This army must go after MPs who have militias. I beg to table. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I will not take much time since I think I have been talking a lot. However, I want to say that I rise to support and I only want to urge the Treasury from the Floor of this House that Members will have a lot of time in their hands. We understand the challenges that the Government is having with the new expanded devolved structures. This country has been recording in the last ten years economic development or growth figures on the upward trend because of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). So, I want to plead ... view
