• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Anyway, I rise to oppose the amendment being proposed by the Hon. Member from Nyandarua. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Okay, Hon. Chairman. We are not making law for a particular county. We are making a law that will affect all the counties in this country. I hope there is no Member who believes or thinks that our procedures here are substandard. For example, a threshold of two-thirds of the membership is required if you, for any reason, want to impeach the Speaker. If you want to impeach anybody else, even the President of Kenya, it is two-thirds. I do not know why a Member would think about raising the threshold for the counties to 75 per cent. Maybe, he ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute on this Report. People might think I am trying to be proud, but I am actually proud in the sense that Eng. Karue, the former Member for Kipipiri, and I, brought the NG-CDF Motion and the NG-CDF Bill to this House. At that time, no lawyer wanted to prepare the Bill for us. We had to hire Gacheru from England because when you were seen to be opposed to President Moi, even if you were a private lawyer, you would not get business in this country. So, ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you mum. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am just saying that… I was giving you background history. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope the powers have heard her sentiments and they can appoint Eng. Karue to some position in this country, especially to be the Chairman of the NG-CDF Board. He tried to run for governorship, but he could not make it. He is at home. However, I want to say that, eventually, as God arranged, Hon. Kibaki won the elections in 2002 and both Eng. Karue and I, were re- elected. So, we revived our Bill, but when we went to see him, he called Hon. Mwiraria, who was the Minister for Finance and ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: cent of the national revenue in four years. For 17 years, the NG-CDF has only increased to 2.5 per cent. We do not even get that 2.5 per cent. With those few remarks, I support the Report. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: How do you know he was here? view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this important discussion. This is a patriot who has offered services in this country, including giving up his own life to protect us. I am shocked when we challenge the Head of State for appointing people with military background. Those are Kenyans who have offered themselves to protect us. How many people from the military have been appointed to senior positions in this country? They are not even five out of so many appointments. I urge my colleagues to please respect those people who offer their lives, ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: This gentleman has really served this country well. When he joins hands with Mr. Kinoti, the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and Mr. Noordin Haji and then they get support of the Executive, Parliament and Judiciary, I am sure they will reduce, if not, eradicate corruption in this country. I have done a study of those countries which moved from third world countries to first world countries like Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and China. All of them have one major element. They first tackled corruption. In China, President Xi Jinping started by dealing with the most corrupt senior people in ... view
