• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: . Just to be truthful, I had consulted you. We agreed that there are issues but we would deal with the President’s nominees and then deal with the Kamukunji later. But I think Members were anxious. It is interesting for somebody to tell us how the Kamukuji was arrived at because there are issues. I disagree with the conclusions of the deliberations because we must sit down and talk about the issues bedevilling this Assembly and Parliament. There are issues. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: It will be nice at some point to get all of us and the leadership of this House so that we can be truthful to this nation and stop this issue. Kenyans think that we are corrupt. It will be you, as the head of this House. Hon. A.B. Duale--- view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I am a member of the Committee. You must listen to English. You must know the rules of debate. First of all, let me say that I am talking in the position of the Leader of the Minority party. So, I have my time. We need to talk about these issues because the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) has besmirched these Members of Parliament. There are Members of Parliament who cannot go to their constituencies or face the public today. To call me a thief--- I was a co-chair who was elected by these Members with Hon. Naomi Shaban ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: look at this issue of mileage. We need to talk about it. Kenyans need to know that for example, when the Member for Wajir West leaves this town, for him to touch the border of his constituency, it is 900 kilometres. The constituency is expansive. It is 400 by 600 kilometres. That is 10,000 square kilometres. We need to tell Kenyans that. You need to protect these Members. For some of us, we do not even need the mileage. We probably come from too near. Kenyans need to know that before they go on Frequency Modulation (FM) stations to besmirch ... view

• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to support the nominees, but I thought that it is a good time to address corruption issues because the President has re-done the Cabinet because of it. We are being accused of corruption. I stand for the truth. There is so much noise about corruption in this country. We have to face this. As the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), I will be shocked if you try to run away from it. We have to tell Kenyans who we are. Are we thieves? view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: You will let me talk because the Speaker is there to protect me. I am talking because it is a momentous occasion. It is important for us to look at Kenyans and, first of all, begin by the people who are elected to protect public good against corruption. There is so much noise. For example, there is the noise of Eurobond. When we say it, even the Government is trying to run away from it. I see my friend, the Leader of the Majority Party, saying this. All we are asking as the Opposition is the information about the Eurobond. ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, even though Hon. Duale wields a lot of power which is assumed wrongly, I have been a Backbencher for almost 15 years. We asked Hon. Kiunjuri about a corruption issue when he was an Assistant Minister. One of the nominees told us that he was taken to court to answer a corruption charge. However, let me say that the President reshuffled his Cabinet because of corruption. I know the Standing Orders because I have been around. Allow me to say something concerning the document which I will table so that Kenyans can see that people like Hon. Duale ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I am going to table this because I have to stand by the rules of debate. However, they do not want people to hear. view
