• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: “Offensive expressions against the character and conduct of Parliament itself are not permitted, since not only are they contempt, but they may also tend to degrade the Legislature in the public estimation.” view
• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: What my friend, hon. Musimba, outlined earlier on, if true, could essentially bring the image of this Parliament into disrepute, and collectively so. It is not right to say that since one person is wrong, the other person is justified to be wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, the Motion at hand is not about Parliament. It is about the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: conduct of one hon. Justin Bedan Muturi. That is the Motion that we are debating. Therefore, I will confine myself to that specific Motion, The hon. Musimba outlined very clear grounds. The question should be: Is what hon. Musimba alleges to have been said by hon. Justin Muturi correct or not? If it is true, then why the hullaballoo? Why this flip-flopping? We need to address the issues as they are. This House is the epitome of civilization and democracy in this country. The person occupying the position of the Speaker of this House is a person that is viewed ... view

The late hon. Grace Ogot was the epitome of humility. Despite her many achievements in life, she did not forget the common person unlike many of our current leaders. She was somebody who was sociable and very generous. I remember the many development projects that she ... view

• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I have been listening very keenly to the Mandera County Women Representative. I must say that I agree with her in totality. I was listening to hon. A.B. Duale speak. I got an impression that this Government is not serious because the way they are talking is as if Al Shabaab is some conventional army sitting somewhere waiting to be fought or fighting in a normal way. Al Shabaab are shooting people from as far as Busia, Kisumu, Siaya and everywhere in this country. So, if you approach Al ... view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: responsibility of providing security to the nationals and securing the borders of this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know what such a Government is supposed to do in civilised society. I do not need to belabour the point. This Motion, just like many other Motions in the past, has become a ritual because it is turning this House into a talk show without any tangible results. The former Inspector-General, Mr. Kimaiyo was sacked on account of terrorism. His replacement is doing the same things that Mr. Kimaiyo was doing. He expects to get different results by applying the same ... view
