• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, not more! Not more! However, the rules of this House are also clear and I want to plead with Dr. Khalwale. Just like when we elect the members of House committees, you cannot subject us or we cannot subject our nominees to your vote because we do not belong to the same party with you. We have to find a way and, in fact, for you to say that you want to choose for Kenya African National Union (KANU) which is an affiliate member of the Party of National Unity (PNU) and you do not belong to ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: You do not belong to a parliamentary party. You are playing a game which you will not doctor. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is an important point to clarify to this House. If you see the position of KANU, where Sarah Godana has been listed, the House can only reject or accept and that is a fundamental issue. It is fundamental because the leeway hon.

• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Kimunya is absolutely out of order to misinterpret the Constitution and tell Kenyans that we need to live in the dark past of this country. Kenyans have died for this issue of devolution. Many of these very Members of Parliament want to become Governors. Even the ones supporting do not know what they are playing with. view
• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am just picking the cue from hon. Millie. This thing is a mess. It is to me because I believe in constitutionality. This thing will not work but it is good that we are debating. I would like to ask the criteria--- view
