• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: We have minerals at the Coast and the people in the area keep on complaining that they are poor and their land has been taken away, yet minerals lies beneath the soil. If I were them, I would allow the Government to exploit those minerals and give those areas some good percentage of the proceeds for local development. I note that the board that will oversee the exploitation of minerals comprises of people from various Government departments. However, the drafters of this Bill have omitted to have the Principal Secretary in charge of Energy on it. This country intends to ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I understand I am in the category which is being marginalized by being senior. We have taken the cue from the people of Kilifi who are slaughtering their parents because they are above 50. I hope this Parliament will not take that cue and that it will respect and appreciate seniority. That is because we all wish to live long in this country. We all wish to come back to Parliament many times. We all wish to be somewhere even at the age of 70 and 80. I rise to support this Report although it has ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Actually, we are saying the same thing. That is the Commission we want to remove. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Maybe, you want to disband IEBC because of having a Vice-Chair who is from Migori. It could be the reason. Anyway, be it as it may, the Committee has done a great job, except where they forgot to take the one and only Kisii that had applied. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: She was informing me, hon. Speaker, and supporting what I have said. That Luo Nyanza has marginalized the Kuria Nyanza and now, they want to extend the same to Kisii Nyanza. We are saying no! view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Otherwise, the Committee has done a great job. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Please, protect me. I know he is a good man. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, I respect hon. Kaluma and what he has said is correct. Nobody comes from his constituency. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We must make sure that this Parliament does not marginalize any community in this country. It should not be part of the marginalization of any community, be it the Kisiis or Turkanas. But this Committee has done a very good job. First, by identifying one hon. Francis ole Kaparo. That is a man of integrity; a man of high experience. A man who can solve the problems in this country without fear of favour. I know him. He has been my Speaker in this House and, on several occasions, he sent me out. But he is a man of character ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to get a clarification from the Chairman. Is he abdicating his responsibility of ensuring that we have appropriate stadia in all the counties of this country? The amount of money that we give to the counties is not adequate to provide adequate and proper stadia in any of the counties. We cannot concentrate on Nairobi only. We also pay taxes. For instance, Kisii contributes 60 per cent of taxes from Nyanza. Could we have the Kisii Stadium included? view
