• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I was just making a statement that we want to have a clean political situation in this country. Let us not be dictators or intimidate others. For those of us who are on either side of the coalition, we do not believe that the other side that we want to go is clean. I am in this coalition and some of us are just here persevering because of the dictatorship that is here. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: For those who are on the other side, I was also there one day and I know how dictatorial it is on that side. Let us be independent and make decisions that will build our country. We should not allow this House to be misused by dictators who are outside but want to run the affairs of this House. If this country burns because of a poor legislation that we make here, citizens will not blame Uhuru Kenyatta or Raila Odinga but Members of this House. Let us legislate for posterity and not for those people because one day you ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Although we might move some amendments, I want to say that I support this Bill. I want to tell Kenyans that we are not competing with the Joint Select Committee, but we are doing what the Constitution requires of us. They are also doing what the public asked them to do. We will merge our ideas with theirs to produce the best procedure to use to make this country go into an election that is free and fair. Any Kenyan who comes through this selection, must understand that we are not serving individuals because ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make my contribution on this particular Motion. Naturally, I am not a fisherman and neither do I come from a region where fish is a staple food. However, as a farmer who embraces all sorts of farming methods and new technology, I think we need to rethink what we usually do so that we all contribute to the economy of this country and the wellbeing of our people given the fact that doctors advise us to mostly eat white meat. I do not have any problem with any ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I do not eat pork, which is pig meat. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: That is very interesting. Somebody is trying to play with English, but I was once an English teacher and so, you cannot claim to be ahead of me on that. I am just saying that doctors advise us to eat white meat and fish is one of it. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I think Hon. Lessonet is just interested in jogging my mind. Fish is not sold for making clothing material. It is sold for food. When we talk about fish, we talk about food. So, regardless of whether you eat fish or you do not, fish is meant to be food. I was just saying that as a farmer, I think we need to seriously concentrate on areas like fish farming. This country relies on farming mostly. A programme was started sometimes back to introduce fish ponds in almost every constituency in this country. It was a very good programme because ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We should have a fishing authority which can help farmers in training and producing the right varieties and species. We should give incentives to fish farmers to increase production. The programme that was started in this country to establish fish ponds must be supported, so that even in areas where we used to grow maize and no longer sustain maize farming, people can resort to fish farming. There is a maize disease that has almost wiped out maize in our areas. We should resort to fish farming because as I speak, farmers are frustrated. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to speak to this Motion. As I said previously, these Motions that urge the Government should be made to be either an amendment to a Bill or to be brought as substantive legislation. When you see the importance of some of these Motions and the fact that some of them might not end up being Bills, we feel like we are neglecting our duties as legislators. I would wish to support it, especially based on the roles these old men and women normally play in our societies. These people play a ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: even fine the people concerned in those particular cases. The villagers would pay. When somebody appeals to the courts, the courts used to recall the case, which was heard in the village. It was used as evidence in a case being handled in court. Life has been smooth with these people. The problem is they would rely on the petitioners or complainants to pay them some fee to manage those particular cases. These people deal with issues which even the assistant chiefs, courts and the Deputy County Commissioners (DCCs) cannot deal with. These people deal with cases we cannot deal ... view
