• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: No, I am just talking about the Order Paper without discussing the contents of the Bill. view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I did not know you have become the Speaker, Hon. Chepkong’a. I know you do not understand what I am doing. So, I will try to accommodate you. I am talking about the Order Paper. Hon. Speaker, I thought it is wise to bring it to your attention that there is a Bill before Parliament which has come here unprocedurally. It has very many controversial provisions. In fact, the Leader of the Majority Party wrote to you to stand down some of the provisions. That is because it is listed for debate this afternoon. It would be nice for you ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, and that is why I have to clear my name. I am not a mole. This letter is in my possession as a whistle blower; as a watchman. view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Well, it may not be a very bad tag, after all. I think Jubilee needs help. You need somebody like me. I may be a good catch. view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the reason I brought this letter is to show that this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill is here in a controversial way. I do not want to say some things, but I will say them during the debate. It has issues. Now that we are being told that even the Report was not available, I want to plead with you, since we are going on recess, to stand this Bill down for debate when we come back and after we have looked at the Report. Just so that I can inform Members, on Tuesday in the House Business ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: your Office - yesterday in the evening. The Bill was already scheduled for debate yesterday. That means this Bill should have appeared through another rescheduling of the Order Paper because we need time to read. I want to plead with you on this. I know the Leader of the Majority Party thinks that he can rush us through just like he did to us yesterday, but we will say some things here which will surprise him. That is because the things somebody is purporting to do here will shake the nation. There is one that he has not stood down, ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to put my contributions to this jumbled proposal. Sometimes I find it interesting why we rush and make many mistakes. I am puzzled by the enthusiasm with which this Bill is before this House. I am also puzzled by the enthusiasm with which this Bill wants to amend and introduce very many things at a time when there is a lot of noise around the country. I know it is easy for the Executive to use the miscellaneous omnibus Bill to do sneaky things. At least, give us a chance as a ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: and help this new dispensation--- We all have a duty because we supported the new Constitution. When we got to Kamukunji Police Station, it was laughable that nobody could talk to us for about five minutes. Then Aladwa was put in another car with police armed with AK47 guns and told that they were going to the Airport Police. From there we were to go to Machakos. I told my driver: “Block this guy. We are going nowhere. We are Kenyans. If this is what it is, let us do it.” What we saw there--- The County Women Representative for ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I want to support the Bill with reservations and hope the issues I have raised will be dealt with before we go to the Committee Stage. I thank you. view
