• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I withdraw with so much apologies. There are too many idlers nominated to the county assemblies that this country cannot afford. That is the truth. There are too many people. Eighteen MCAs cannot be a third of 30. So, the formula in itself is wrong. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I withdraw the word “idler.” I would want to be told one day when people are reasoning, in the Senate, we have people who have been nominated to take up these quotas and the same law says that they cannot vote. If you want to change the meanings of English words, so be it. But we must look at these things, so that if you are Member of Parliament, the same way we have our lady colleagues here, you cannot do it in the Senate where they are nominated, but they cannot vote. So, what is the ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I had already withdrawn. Wewe wacha. Wee kwenda. I have withdrawn. Did you know that the Executive, without prompting and initiation from this House, the budget- making House has given the so-called affirmative action seats money, vehicles, drivers and bodyguards? How is that affirmative action to other women? How does that help Alice Ng’ang’a? That is a fact! view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is very hard to help these people. I am on their side. Let me say here now that in the coming Budget, there will be no money. We do not have money in this country. With the money being misused in buying those vehicles, I will be proposing that amendment. Let me put myself on that. I will be talking about it in funerals and everywhere. What needs to happen and I am happy the Leader of the Majority Party is here, is for us to discuss austerity measures for our country while we maintain the ... view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose this amendment. Hon. Pukose is my friend and I plead with him. We will use the Floor of this House to degazette forest land, but 15 months to an election, any amendment to this issue of forest land may have bad effects. We are already seeing clashes all over the country. We ought to be a bit cautions. We have to be fair to Hon. Pukose. We should work with him to get a solution. However, to bring before this House an amendment meant to degazette forest land would be ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Hon. Joseph M’Eruaki is not listening to you. He is irked by the fact that his nation is being raided by injustice. Article 95 (2) of the Constitution says:- “The National Assembly deliberates on and resolves issues of concern to the people” The arrest is just a fact that exacerbates this issue of Miraa . We have been treated in this country to a fact that this House must address itself to this issue of Miraa being a drug or being prohibited in Europe. In Great Britain, where the issue came about that Miraa is a drug, it ... view
