• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this Report on Departmental Committee on Broadcasting and Library, for the work they have done. As we do this, we should agree that the Committee and the Government should not abandon the KBC. We have abandoned KBC, we are underfunding it and that is costing us a lot. As we speak, the employees of KBC are out there without a pay. I think it is important even as we seek to move to other areas, we ensure that we do not abandon KBC because their staff will ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Well, I hope we have been together here, unless there are Members who may have come... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, we do but it is the question of having been there and being students of history. I know memory cannot be failing you so quickly. We had the TNA Government a short while ago, but now we have Jubilee Government. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Constitution says that KBC is supposed to balance time among political parties. We have completely abandoned that aspect of the Constitution and we have run to the private media. They have been very useful to their programmes and to their objective which is to make profit, but not what we should be doing as Members of this House. I thank the Committee for what they have done and ask that we make sure that even as we subject this Report to the Senate, it does not die during this remaining one year. It would be ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to weigh in on this issue and thank Hon. Makali Mulu for introducing it. It will not be let off without punishment. Without answering the Member for Turkana Central, it is important to tell him that the subject of this debate has not retracted. He has not said that anybody hacked his account. So, you cannot defend him, unless you have instructions. I do not believe that the Member for Turkana Central has any instructions from Hon. Moses Kuria. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Schools in this country have mock debates which are tailored on how we conduct our debates on the Floor of the House. When we do the kind of things that we continue doing, including what was uttered by the Member for Kiharu, that is exactly what our young people will do out there. For the sake of our children who look at us as models, they will come to this House after we go, we cannot let this to go without punishment. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: These issues have gone far. We have some television stations that pick on programmes which are tailored on this kind of language. The country is heading in the wrong way just because we have given the wrong examples on this Floor of the House. I do not want to go Hon. Jude’s way. However, I was insulted on a national platform by the same Member of Parliament. We were debating. I thought that I was debating unequal. All of sudden, the Member of Parliament dragged in my mother into the debate and insulted her on a national television. She was ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: She is 94 years old. When I arrived home, she asked me what was wrong with that Member. These are not things that should be taken casually. It is not the older days when people did not have access to media information. What you were doing was not the way it was, even in the 10th Parliament. Anything that you do today is sent all over. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: When a Member stands on the Floor of the House and faces the side that you are seated and calls Members traitors, sell-outs or con men, you wonder where he is coming from. I voted because I was sent here by the people of Ndaragwa. They can call me that. They are the only ones who can tell me that I did something wrong. As a Member of Parliament, you have no mandate to come and pass judgement on me. We also have the party which we believe that it has a way on us. For the sake of this ... view
