• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know I was transiting. I was going through a transitional period in my life. Therefore, I had to take each and every step slowly. I thank you and also say that I support this Motion. It is not especially because view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Amina Abdalla served with us in this House. If Members of this House are looking for somebody to represent them in the SRC, we are missing the point because we had view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Oloo Aringo serving in that position. We had Dalmas Otieno also serving in the same position, and many others, who we thought, maybe, were going to look at the affairs of this House. We have the Parliamentary Service Commission which is supposed to be looking into the affairs of this House. So, when we put somebody in the SRC, let us agree that he or she is going to serve as a national figure. That person is going to serve the nation. What we are only asking of them is to serve diligently – follow the Constitution and the laws ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: nation and Parliament diligently. However, if we want this House to have that image that we want, it is us the Members of this House who should live up to that expectation. You cannot expect to be treated with respect outside there if we Members in this House do not even treat our position with respect. We must treat this House with a lot of respect. Some of us Members, at times, just watch what people do. Sometimes, we must be good examples. I have joined Kenyans and Members of this House as a father. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: So, I now speak as a father and I would want to say that we should speak and carry ourselves well. Before I did that, I used to be reckless. You know me. However, I am nowadays sober. I am organised. My Chairman can confirm that. So, I urge the Members of this House that we change the image of this House. It is us who can make it respected outside there. It is us who can make this House not respected outside there. So, Parliament must be respected. You will wonder when you, at times, hear what people talk ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me speak to this briefly because Members wish to discuss the next report. I want to say a few words, but let me start by congratulating the Members of the Committee and reiterate that it is our work as Members of Parliament to implement this Report. Our major role is oversight and legislation. So, when we budget, the Government should use the funds in a good manner. Another role is advising the Executive on the next cause of action. I wish to state that this House has the responsibility of advising the Executive ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: county governments and may be the Legislature and the Judiciary, but a lot of the money that is lost is in the Executive. It is the responsibility of the President to tell us why that money gets lost, not this House. In most cases, the people who are presented and dragged before courts because of loss of money are in the Executive. It is very rare to find Members of Parliament being taken to court. It is very rare for members of the Judiciary to be taken to court because of corruption. It is the Executive. The President should look ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my great friend never understood what debt is and how the economy runs. What I meant is that President Moi never left debts to the people of this country, but he left a country that was in tatters economically. We never had debts. If we had any, they were very little just like any other normal country. Hon. Kibaki brought this country up from -2 per cent to 7.2 per cent GDP growth. He left a small debt. President Kibaki only borrowed for the Thika Super Highway. That is the debt Kibaki left us with. The ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: This document, which has been tabled in the House, is good enough to advise the President and the Executive on how to bring the country back to its normal course. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. As my friend has just alluded, I have come back. I wish to make a contribution on this particular matter. Security in any nation is very vital. It is something that you cannot take the way people want to take it. view
