• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The second powerful message is that the Leader of the Majority Party must also feel the pulse of the House so that he knows that he cannot take that issue of tyranny of numbers for granted. The issue of CDF--- view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, thank you for noticing that my junior learned friend, hon. Chepkonga, walked in just a few minutes earlier. I was saying that the issue of CDF should not be taken very lightly by the Treasury because, as it has been said by hon. Members before me, a lot of development efforts that we have seen at the grassroots in Kenya is as a result of CDF funds. In my constituency, Kisumu West, recently, the heavy rains caused floods and many roads in my constituency have been washed away. The people of Kisumu West are wondering why three ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I hate to have to interrupt the Leader of the Majority Party, but we have had occasion to caution him this afternoon that whatever he says, he should say it to the House. He keeps on repeating himself as if he is addressing an audience outside the House. Is that proper? view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, we have had occasion this afternoon to caution the Leader of the Majority that these are very serious issues and in addressing them, he should address the House and not an audience outside the House. He keeps on repeating himself. A few minutes ago, he was addressing the people of Kajiado Central. Is he proper? view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Once the issue of quorum is raised and the Quorum Bell is rung, my understanding of the Standing Orders is that no further proceedings are taken until the Chair is satisfied that the quorum has been attained. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: I apologize hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, incidents of insecurity now are no longer sporadic or isolated. They seem to be calculated in a way that makes us think that it is possible that the police are not acting on their core duty, which is detection and prevention of crime. We expect that the NIS and the Police Service are working in tandem. If that is so, how come the Government is now acting only after the event and not before? How come? Something must be wrong and I want to repeat what hon. Linturi said, that it is possible that our police force ... view
• 25 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, while I congratulate my learned friend, hon. Cheboi and his committee for presenting this Motion, I think it is important for the House not just to say in general terms that our Standing Orders are grounded in the Constitution; it is for the House understand specifically that Article 124 of the Constitution gives this mandate to this House, so that the business of the House is conducted according to the Standing Orders. view
• 25 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, this is a right given by the Constitution, and I would urge all of us in this House to guard it with jealousy and ensure that nobody else outside this House takes away any part of this right. I say so because many of us should be aware that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has attempted, in their legal notice, to restrict the number of sittings this House can have. That is my view. It is illegal, unconstitutional and at the right time we are going to address it exhaustively. For now I wish to reiterate ... view
• 25 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker, Sir. In this House, you can be very emotional but very passionate and we are entitled to our ignorance. However, is it in order for the hon. Member to say that we can do things by hook or crook? view
