• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I hope your ruling does not veer from the good English words of the Standing Orders you have quoted. It is true that my sister Hon. Millie Odhiambo fought men and she is here. If we were not in the public eye or on the HANSARD, I would have told you what she did to win, because she won, but she had to do very strange things. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: So, I am supporting her. However, we cannot keep misunderstanding the one-third rule and not confront it. This issue had even gone to court and even the issue of the Cabinet not being properly constituted in the Government. I know what is bothering Hon. Millie. If you take, for example, Hon. Naicca here, he is in one Committee. Hon. Millie is in the Departmental Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives, a Member of PAP and all these things. We cannot do reverse marginalisation. Nothing in this Committee is new. This is the old Committee. We, as the leadership, agreed for ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: CDF vehicle. Our parking lot is full of GK vehicles. If that is not abuse of office, I ask you to disapprove me. It cannot happen under your watch. I know it is not you who did it, but the person who did it is now in public eye, one Anne Waiguru. She cannot get away with it. You cannot take public funds and buy vehicles for Members of Parliament. That is what is going on. This issue requires debate, but let us keep this debate to the CDF. This issue must even go to a referendum. We must ask ... view

• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. The issue raised by Hon. Linturi is very weighty. This morning, hon. Linturi, a couple of other Kenyans and I were in a public 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
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: debate and we were confronted with this issue. First of all, let me thank the President for listening to good reason, now that he has appointed a tribunal. This thing was going to get murkier. The bottom line is about the advisers of the President; the Attorney-General, a contingent of many advisers and the good lawyers we had before like Abdikadir and other people around the President. We cannot sit here and let them think that the whole House of Parliament and institutions like the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Judiciary are stupid. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: We must be guided on how to deal with public servants who are on taxpayers’ payroll and are constantly engaging us in a war on things when we should not. Article 168(5) of the Constitution says:- “The President shall---” The word “shall” does not have too many meanings, unless hon. Githu Muigai has created another English dictionary. It does not require the debate that we have been treated to for the last four or five days. From the Office of the Attorney-General in this Parliament, for about three years, we have had to fight. view

• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you must realize hon. Chepkong’a was here. You are even lenient to him by giving allowing him to raise a frivolous point of order, which he could not even explain. Those are some of our lawyers. We must all understand that hon. Chepkong’a is now very busy worrying about the rift in the Rift Valley, and that is why he was mentioning hon. Sudi. There is too much rift. They have no peace. On this other side, we are happy. view
