• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I mentioned that because both gentlemen are my friends. Getting back to the point, the Leader of the Majority Party said the truth when he said that this is a House of rules and precedents. What he did not say is that this is also a House of customs. The custom from the 10th Parliament is that Members of Parliament enjoy transport and security. From my background matters that touch on security as these ones are better discussed behind closed doors. It is only if that fails that they should be brought to plenary. I have been a commissioner of ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I urge you to stop this debate and put it before the PSC and address it in the best interest of Members. That is what I pray for. Thank you. view

• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me a chance. Looking at the Standing Orders, what we have before the House is a Notice of Motion. So, everybody who has spoken on that Notice of Motion should have been ruled out of order, in my understanding of the Standing Orders. However, that aside, the issue that has been brought before the House, to me is a demonstration of embarrassment and how we are not able to take charge of our own responsibilities. This matter should not have been brought to the Floor of the House. I agree that Hon. Momanyi has ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: discussion on it now so that if there is need to handle this at a later stage…But what we are doing now is actually washing our dirty linen in public, in the House and, it is not in order that way. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to add my voice to the Members of this House who have spoken about Hon. Francis Nyenze. I wish to eulogise him as a personal friend and on behalf of the people of Kisumu West. In a nutshell, what Members have been saying this afternoon about Hon. Nyenze is that his strength laid in his humility. If there is anything that I have always advocated for us in this House to make a perfect Member of Parliament is that one The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: needs to be skilled in arbitration and conflict resolution. Some of us are trained in those areas, some are not. Some have them naturally. Hon. Nyenze was a naturally made arbitrator and one who could resolve conflicts. I got to know him extremely well when I served with him in the last Parliament in the Public Investments Committee. Many times, he would listen to divergent views. I am sure those who have worked with him in the last Parliamen - I see Hon. Wamalwa, Hon. Lemein, and others are here. They will confirm that when matters were controversial Hon. Nyenze ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: When I talk about his humility being his strength, not many Members in the last Parliament knew that Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo was doing a lot of work, not because Hon. Nyenze was a weak leader, but because most times he was feeling unwell. Despite feeling unwell, he was always there to serve the House. I remember once very informally Hon. Nyenze, Dr. Nyikal, Hon. Ben Washiali and I were talking about the chaos that were erupting in the country. He said, as Members of this House, we have the mandate to provide leadership in the matters of politics. We had ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am concerned about what Hon. Mbarire is doing. If there is anything that is central to the core responsivity of MPs, it is the NG-CDF. It is a matter that MPs cannot compromise on. We are dealing with a serious issue but there is nobody to take note of what we are saying on the Government side of the House. Hon. Mbarire has been around, but she also wants to go away. Who is going to communicate these sentiments to the concerned persons within the Government? Last week, we got an undertaking. An ... view
