• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: also given us back the respect by making sure that he honors and respects the summons by the ICC. However, because every cloud has a silver lining, I want to say that I regret and detest the attitude of my colleagues and, more so, the Jubilee mandarins. The President is a humble person by nature and he has demonstrated that. Being a Christian like me – and I am a Catholic – that is the only church that was left by Jesus Christ to Peter. The President would have wanted to go to The Hague with not more than five ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was just alluding to the bad behavior that I saw. Many of them, of course, were touts who were called and taken there at--- view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say that the President had very good intentions. He started very well and he was going to end very well; albeit the people who wanted to be sycophantic and appear that they were very close to him. Some of us were not able to go there. But knowing the person the President needed most was his God, we remained glued to our churches praying for him. We did that very well. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did not say that everybody was sycophantic, but I think those who were rolling--- view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Temporary Deputy Speaker is a good lawyer. He knows that the case is not closed until final submissions are made. So, we should go slow and be careful with our expressions about the ICC case--- view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. The Member on the Floor could be misleading this House by saying that there are seasoned and experienced officers in the NIS, who were left out. History will judge us harshly if we lie since this is a House of records. It is President Moi who took the first step by appointing my friend Brigadier Wilson Boinett from the armed forces to the NIS. So, President Uhuru may just be following in hon. Moi’s footsteps. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I had intended to stand and support the initial Motion, but I want to vehemently oppose the intended amendment. It is likely to downgrade this very good Motion. To the best of my understanding, refugee camps are meant for people who are seeking refuge after a serious war or other economic crimes, and they are put there as they wait for their fate to be decided. I do not know where refugee camps are set up for Kenyans who are supposed to be registered and they are not running ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. I wish to state categorically that the amendment is not in good taste; I would rather that if there is to be any amendment, it be a concrete one, something that is going to look like the House is urging the Government, or it is forcing the Government to make it mandatory that anybody who has hit 18 years is registered with immediate effect; the Government should be forced to have registration points at secondary schools, so that anybody who is about to sit for his or her Form IV examination is ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: is a misconception in this country that ID cards are only necessary for the purpose of voting. This is a misplaced concept: ID cards are supposed to help people to identify themselves as Kenyans, and all efforts must be made to make sure that those who hit the registration age are properly assisted to be registered in good time. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The Government must make arrangements to make provisions for the necessary infrastructure--- view
