• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to ask that the Committee do report progress. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me apologise for forgetting my card. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. William is a good Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, and I rise to support the list. As you realise, this is a special meeting of the House, and it will be fair that the House realises that we have 26 nominees to deal with. I have looked at most of these reports and, with the exception of one or two nominees, in our contributions I would request you that we do not talk too much, so that we can meet the timelines; two minutes would be in order. If the ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I am giving you directions, Amina. Hon. Speaker, Sir, protect me from hon. Amina. Having said that, I think the Government needs to be fully constituted. We went through elections on 4th March, 2013 and we nearing July; the country is losing so much time, basically doing nothing, or politicking while we are not delivering services to Kenyans. So, I think it is the responsibility of this House that where there is no adverse information we need to move with speed to help this Government become fully formed. Those of us in the Opposition also need to watch them fail, ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: This is because it seems the Government is a bit too big for the young men. So, we will be watching them fail but we will help them form the Government. I support. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: But I would like to confirm that I slept in my house, Mr. Speaker, Sir, except that I forgot my wallet. I am surely not that careless. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to support this Motion and very briefly say that in the words of hon. Shidiye, this is the first and this country needs to speak to the words of our laws; that inclusion of minorities from all quarters is a good thing every time we attempt to do it. I would like to support this and encourage the Government to do more in that regard. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The two are the most important nominees that we have talked about today because their docket addresses the issue of security. I want to plead with Mr. Mutea Iringo to use his experience in security to calm down this country from bloodletting. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: We are at a loss as a country why even when there is no politics going on people are killing and slaughtering innocent Kenyans. I think this House must take interest in this, and we are lucky that the nominee for this docket has been there. We know the Minister is new and he came from a different discipline. However, we could not have done better given what is happening. We need to know what is happening in the northern part of Kenya. We also need to know what is happening in Bungoma. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Just two months ago, people were being hacked in Bungoma and they were being shot this week. It means that the war is escalating. What is happening with the security forces? There is this attempt to blame it on the wrangles of Kavuludi and the Inspector- General (IG), but how does this affect the policemen in Bondo? It just means that somebody is busy trying to sabotage peace and the work of the Government. We need to know, as a House, because we have a responsibility. I want to plead with the Chair that the Committee summons these people. view
