• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Everything is in order, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to get some “ bonga points” because that is my former school. I went to that school from Form One to Form Four. So, I am very proud of it. It is a top school. The mean score last year was 10.00 points, which is a B+ . They are no joke. They have not burnt their dormitories. It is a good school. We welcome the girls also, but I did not go to a girls’ school. view

• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to oppose this Bill in its current form. This Bill is good and I want to agree with Hon. Chepkong’a and Hon. Baiya that we need it, but there are some things in this Bill that require us to discuss and agree. This is not a Bill that requires us to disagree, but in its current form, I agree that IEBC commissioners and many commissions that we have need to be part-time. We have done that experiment, but it has failed and we are in so many chaos because of commissioners sitting in office full time. ... view

Who controls the PSC? Only this afternoon, Hon. Gumbo raised an issue on the Floor which you asked him to consult with the Leader of the Majority Party. What he was raising was for the Government to table the list of appointments to show where they come ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that is not really a point of order, but Hon. Baiya is my friend. He may wish to help me ask the Leader of the Majority Party to table that list requested by Hon. (Eng.) Gumbo then you will see that I am in order. Only two weeks ago, Hon. Baiya was sitting here when we appointed members of the Competition Authority. In those appointments, you would see that there is a lady married in Taita bearing a Taita name. There is nothing wrong with it, but when you put the name Wairimu as W, you are not ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: That is why the IEBC issue is a very big thing. We know your numbers cannot add up. That is why you are paying the Ababu Namwambas and Mung’aros to come to your side. You know it. We want to help. view

• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I will withdraw and apologise, but the Deputy President (DP) of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. William Samoei Ruto, His Excellency, that is a title. You can be called “honourable” because it is a title, but you may not be honourable. There are many people called “Hon. Members”, yet they are not honourable. So, His Excellency the Deputy President admits he is corrupting the opposite. Corruption is by law and our parlance illegal. The DP says “I am using money. I am finished with Western Kenya, I am going to Western Province to dish out money”. Those are stolen public ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I second but I am the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party. The Leader of the Minority Party is sitting right in front of me. You know it is time for confusion. view
