• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: There is no possibility that bungled elections can only be seen by Jubilee and not by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD). Elections are for all of us. If there are issues, that Bill came here by way of a bipartisan Committee. I am happy Hon. Moses Kuria is sitting here. They should go back. If it must be changed, they should agree on the changes. view

• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mine is to plead with all of us that good sense prevails. What Kenyans expect of us is good and credible elections.

• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What else can be more important than the Budget? On this Order Paper, one of the biggest issues which we must deal with is this Budget even if we do nothing else. We want to request you not to entertain us to do wrong to the Budget especially the Budget that is going to give us campaign money. We are going to contribute.

• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this Standing Order does not say that the House shall sit until what is in gazette notice is completed. view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: that is the one I have just read. You do not even have a copy of the Standing Orders. So, Hon. Member, let us sort ourselves out. I am sure you do not know what it says. view
