• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I must register my complaint because while we were debating the previous Motion, I sat here all through. When I went up there, I saw my name on the request list, but for reasons best known to the Speaker, I was not given a chance to contribute even though I was the only leader here. I must register that complaint. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to add my two cents to this Motion on the Report on the vetting of nominees. I am a very happy Kenyan because Jubilee does not see a sign when it is driving that says “do not enter” and pass it. They love entering. Where it says “do not enter”, they enter. Where it says “do not make a left turn”, they make a left turn. Where it says “do not make a right turn”, they make a right turn. This is because they are in the race to go home before 2017.

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I will not withdraw. What is wrong with what I have just said? view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I do not need your correction. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will clarify so that I do not annoy my friends so much. We are talking about inclusivity which is a principle of the Constitution. This is where that debate belongs.

It is factual. These are the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) figures. Let me come back to the argument of ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know I am a long time Member of this House. I am rarely irrelevant. What I am saying is annoying them. I am here to annoy them. Without Nyenze here, I am the leader of the Opposition. I am his deputy here. I am here to annoy Hon. Duale. I cannot sleep if I cannot annoy Hon. Duale and these stealers of elections.

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know the Leader of the Majority Party can talk with a light touch. This is a House of debate. Stop forcing us not to laugh. We have been sitting here since 2 o’clock. The Leader of the Majority Party knows that I have won too many times and I will still win. I am going for the same sit. You will see me here because I know it from the people of Gem. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me begin from where I left. I hear your concerns. You know the Leader of the Majority Party has to spice our debates. In so doing, he has inadvertently admitted they rigged and that rigging is okay. The Chairman of the Committee has spoken.

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: which occasioned Article 36 of the Constitution. He has said that this person works for BAT and EABL. The biggest controversy this person has been involved in is between BAT and Mastermind or EABL and Keroche. I support this nominee. Jubilee does not see common sense in making things work for Kenyans. The Competition Authority is an important thing. The EABL is the largest taxpayer in this country as a standalone industry. What does it need? It needs to be regulated. It does not need to be given authority by one member of the board who can go there and ... view

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This country needs help. The next Government has so much on its plate. CORD will have so much on its plate because it will have to give Kenyans affordable energy, stop strikes in school, stop corruption and return Eurobond. view
