• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Corruption Commission to resign. In fact, Commissioner Jane Onsongo succumbed to pressure from people who are hell bent on enforcing their own decree on these commissions.

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is clear that Dr. Kobia‘s term had not come to an end. He still had more than a year when he resigned. It was not even announced to us. We were not even told why he resigned. Going by what has happened in the last few days at the EACC, we can only conclude that he was forced to resign.

I want to state from the outset that the President made a very important speech. Implicit in that speech are good intentions. However, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. So, what really matters is the actions that will follow to make these good intentions become a reality. On the issue of historical injustices, it is a fact that dispossession of land is one of the major historical injustices in this country and, perhaps, second only to assassinations.

• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: committed those atrocities, for instance, land grabbing, are well known. The people who took land from Kenyans to render them squatters in their own country are well known.
