• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am a Luo and schooled very well in English. I said if I was the Government, I would have used these numbers so well but we keep using them wrongly. It is good--- view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you do not want my advice and that is why you keep doing the wrong things but you need me. If there was any time that this country needed--- view

• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. You can see the interest in this particular topic. The first thing I would like to request the Leader of Majority Party is to tell this House whether there is intention to bring a policy paper so that as a House we can debate this particular issue. Even as we speak, this money is in some private bank somewhere accruing interest. It is important that we do the right thing when duty calls. I want to plead with my colleagues, the male hon. Members because there are also female hon. Members--- You are arguing about ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, while I agree with hon. Kaluma, this afternoon or for the last four months, this probably is the most important issue canvassed on the Floor of this House. The Chair has made a ruling on the clarifications that we are asking the Leader of Majority Party. We need to have a policy paper as a House.

Sakaja to be the Chair of a Committee that is yet to be formed? Hon. Speaker, Sir, I request you to take these people for some training. However, that is on a light touch. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I have risen because hon. Onyonka alluded to a letter from the Ministry assuring hon. Members that our constituency roads money shall be reversed. Could the leader of that Committee tell us when we will get our money? I am just from a “funeral” of a senior member of my constituency and the biggest concern is how the body will get home tomorrow. This is because somebody somewhere is playing around with the roads money across the country. Could somebody tell these Members when they will get that money because they have an interest? Some of that money is actually ... view

• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Let me also give my condolences to the family of the late Chelagat Mutai. Her death is truly sad. I hope she will be remembered for her contributions to the freedom that we so enjoy today; the democracy that many of us really do not know how it began and how it happened back in those days. Many Members of this House were probably even too young to remember. In fact, a Member told me today that he can hardly figure out who Chelagat Mutai was. You cannot blame him because it was long time ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. You just will not let go this Washington thing. view
