• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say that I oppose the amendment vehemently, and that I intend to bring a proper amendment force the Government to make it mandatory for Kenyans to be registered at the age of 18 without favouring any Kenyan from any particular part of the country. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you have caught me unawares; I was making consultations. I will contribute when I am ready. I am waiting for a particular amendment. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This day will go into the history of the workers of this country as the saddest day in their lives. Those workers include hon. Members of Parliament. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The Chair is a Chair of a Committee. Last time when we were deliberating on the new NSSF Act, a mischievous Member of the Committee came and pushed in the amendment in the last minute in the absence of some Members. Today, again, after we have exhaustively walked the talk – we have exhaustively deliberated on this matter as a Committee and agreed that this amendment be brought before the Floor of this House in the interest of the workers of this country--- Those are workers who have been manipulated and are suffering as a result of unscrupulous politically-correct officers ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am at a loss by the Member misleading the House that he is supporting Safaricom to get that tender on the strength that they have the requisite network when, at the same time, he knows very well that in their Committee, they gave them that tender on the premise that it is going to bring on board a tenderer which failed called Huawei, because it does not have the necessary requisite experience and expertise. Again, we know very well that Safaricom does not have the network coverage for the entire 47 counties. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The report has since been amended and re-amended. So, you can only come up to support the report as amended and re-amended. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this amendment. I want to say that the amendment is not in good faith because the fact that somebody walked to a refugee camp is a self- manifestation that he is not a Kenyan, but a refugee. Giving opportunities for refugees to come and register will not be a very good thing for Kenyans. We need the IDs like yesterday because they will help Kenyans who want to get jobs and passports. It will be in good faith for us to use this opportunity ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: camps to enable easy living. I think that is not in good faith and I will support my not my very good friend but colleague, hon. Njuguna from Gatanga. He knows that his predecessor was my very good friend and he gave him very hectic time when he was representing the people of Gatanga. However, the people of Gatanga are now complaining that hon. Njuguna may not be equal to the task. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: However, I want to take this opportunity to support him because the amendment is in good faith. The registration must be done transparently and efficiently. I ask my good friend and colleague, hon. Diriye, to accede to the amendment because we are not going to open a door for registering aliens. My good colleague, hon. Ntutu has explained here that the source of rampant insecurity in this country - which is hurting the economy and everybody - is the influx or proliferation of refugees and, more so, the brown ones. I do not know whether they are Somalis or Arabs ... view
