• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: So, I am just saying that sometimes they tolerate us; I am just requesting the other side that we tolerate each other. They are also part of those people who make our parties juicy, unless you have somebody bringing in some other ideas which are against the party’s ideas. It makes the party vibrant and juicy for everybody to join. I support the membership coming back. Hon. Speaker, I sit in that Committee and I know the tremendous contributions Members of CORD put. I am one of the few people who support them almost every now and then on the ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We also want to allow Members because this idea of sycophancy has also killed parties and good leaders. When we are going to an election unless we have too loyal--- I have heard a Member claiming that KANU did bad things. That Member needs to withdraw. He is very young; he never saw KANU or drank KANU milk. For some of us who drank KANU milk, we cannot say anything. Hon. Speaker you are also a product of KANU. Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto are products of KANU and even Raila Amolo Odinga is a product of KANU. Let us ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Having said that, let us not breed sycophancy. Sycophancy cannot allow you to think or ventilate on matters that are very important to this nation; sycophancy cannot allow you to look into matters that are supposed to be looked at. Imagine you are doing oversight and you are supposed to follow somebody’s idea--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, marriage is not the end by itself. You can even talk about come-we-stay or a girlfriend you have. Despite that, I am a product of marriage. My father married my mother. My mother never condemned her parents because she was married to a handsome man called Kimutai Temus. Same case with my father, he never condemned his father. So, I am just making a point of reference because marriage is an institution that affects everybody. Having said that and my brother should not be worried because that thing will come soon--- We were even intending to do it ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I was concluding by saying that as leaders of this House and those that are outside, accept the fact that we can always have dissenting voices in whatever we do. I remember in the last Brexit vote, there is a leader who led Britons in voting for exit. It was not because he belonged to a party that was opposing the Government. At the end of it when he was asked to go for a position that the Prime Minister had left he declined and said, his job was only to lead the Britons in that direction. That is a ... view

• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also wish to voice my support and concerns on this particular issue we are talking about. Just like so many Members have said, you cannot over-emphasis the importance of an election, electoral body or process.

• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: process in this country has been the epitome of all the bad things this country has been known for. The electoral process in this country has failed to address the fundamental matter, which is free and fair elections. Looking at other countries, I do not understand because, maybe, Kenyan politics are very competitive and people die to get them. The only thing which should be the least controversial in any democracy is an electoral process. We can all remember 2007, where we saw what happened both in the national and constitutional level, yet among the recommendations to the electoral body ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: There is also another method of removing the Commissioners Hon. Deputy Speaker, the reason why I am supporting this Committee is not because of that, since even the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is already seized of that matter - and you cannot suspend it. We will hear it; forward our findings to this House and the whole procedure of appointing the tribunal for the removal of the Commissioners will have to proceed regardless of this Committee.

• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Committee for the electoral reforms. That is the only reason why I am happy with this Committee because I know even our Committee cannot deal with that. This Joint Committee will look into how we can reform the electoral process in this country. What is supposed to be the composition of the members who sit in that particular Commission? How are we going to conduct our elections? How are Members going to be voted in either in parliamentary, county or national levels? So, the major reason why I am supporting this Committee is because I know they ... view
