• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the hon. Member has been in this House for three years now. You know, if you open a window, Jakoyo Midiwo will walk into it. He mentioned them; I will mention more. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Last year, hon. Members from the United Republican Party (URP) wing of the Jubilee Coalition went to a public rally and accused Nancy Gitau, Gichangi and Iringo of fixing William Ruto. They mentioned the names of those people and said that they were the ones who fixed Ruto. They are now going to prayer meetings and saying “Raila did this, Raila knows this”. How come they did not know it last year? At what point did the situation change? When did Gichangi, Nancy Gitau and Mutea Iringo become innocent? If you know something, it is not for Raila to tell ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: What I am telling you is that it is better to forgive. We proposed the formation of a local tribunal so that we could sort out ourselves, forgive each other and move forward as a country, just like the South Africans did. This is our country. If it burns, we will all burn in it. Nobody is safe. Therefore, my appeal to the Members of this House and to politicians, generally, is that we should not play politics with the issue of the post-election violence. Yesterday, I saw people who were moved from IDP camps just over the weekend, who ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I would like to plead with you, Hon. Chepkong’a. You said that you have been around long enough. I want you to be true to your age. There is no parliamentarian who has the capacity to do the investigation that you are seeking to do. Where this thing belongs is the Government. The President has powers to withdraw the intelligence report, which you are saying contains lies. That is the report the ICC is said to be heavily relying on. Begin from home, as charity begins at home. First of all, withdraw everything that the Government sent to the ICC. ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Raila does not fear the envelope. If Raila’s name is in the envelope, then Kibaki’s name is there as well. Stop being one-sided! If Raila’s name is there, so is Kibaki’s. Let him go and rot in jail because he is the one who stole Raila’s election victory. He must take responsibility. Raila never did anything. He won the election. You know it, Hon. Duale; because you were there. None of these people can deny that Raila won the 2007 election by over--- view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Let me rise to support this amendment. Maybe, the explanation by Hon. Duale is not coming out clearly. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: A lot of times, we turn a blind eye on things which are --- The question remains: Who watches the watchman? I know we have disagreed on this issue with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security from Mombasa to here. However, I want to plead with him. There is this issue of mileage claims; we need somebody to check the system to protect Parliament from frivolous accusations. Now the EACC is the only way for us to clear our names because some of these things are utter lies. There is need to have somebody to ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is Hon. Duale in order to draw your attention to a conversation which never was? It was not even on the HANSARD. Hon. Duale is becoming too notorious. He also alleged that I know of only one political party. I also know of “just another problem”, which they call Jubilee Alliance Party (JAP). Therefore, I know of many political parties. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thought the Leader of the Majority Party – which is generally a minority – would take the opportunity, as he read out the list of Reports from the constituencies to, at least, tell the anxious Members of this House where our Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money is. view
