• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I have seen money being channeled to security matters and more so in relation to elections, as my friend Hon. Gikaria said. Do not invest money in buying bullets, tear gas and others. They cannot guarantee peace. What can guarantee peace is credible, free and fair democratic elections. Invest more in this. Do not waste time buying more bullets because they will not guarantee peace or even cow anybody. Trouble can only be felt to be there if the elections are not seen to be free and fair. People want justice and fairness and not shenanigans. Do not invest in ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I am telling him things he does not want to hear, the plain truth and nothing but the truth. The truth is that if you continue investing in hardware like bullets, guns and APCs which are being blown like Toyota salon cars, you will not guarantee peace in this country. Let the IEBC do its work and support it. Let them announce credible results and then peace will be there. We will save a lot of money which could have gone to waste by buying tear gas and bullets. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: The reason why I am afraid to support this budget is clear that this is money being diverted for campaign purposes. The Post-Election Violence (PEV) happened in this country about 10 years ago and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) emerged. Ten years down the road, you go round brandishing cheques purportedly compensating IDPs. As you do so, you are donning campaign uniforms. You think Kenyans are fools! We cannot allow Mr. President to continue duping Kenyans that he is assisting them yet he is basically engaging in bribery. He went to Kisii to give Kshs50,000 to every IDP and yet we ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: There is no need for a point of order. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will add me two minutes, if you do not mind. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree and want to respect your ruling. You know as much as there are rules in this House, I also have the freedom of free thought. He went there as the Jubilee Presidential candidate donned in red attire. He was not performing any State function. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Okay, I will make matters easier for you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, by withdrawing it but I will use other platforms to pursue the same matter. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I have 1,001 platforms to get to this matter of bribery of voters. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I conclude, I do not know why I always... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not know why people feel agitated whenever I speak. I have never understood the Jubilee people. I am making very factual statements. Come September or October this year, those of you who will be lucky to be elected will be on this side and I will be on that side. Those of you who will be unlucky like Hon. Duale will not be here so there is no point of debating that. I want to conclude that this Supplementary Budget is not defendable. You cannot defend it under any ordinary circumstances. I ... view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is the Hon. Aden Duale in order, firstly, to impute improper motive on a fellow Member, but more importantly to drag the name of the Right Honourable Raila Odinga who cannot defend himself on the Floor of this House and more critically to continuously address me instead of addressing you? Is he in order? view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
