23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, on behalf of the Minority Side - I know my Whip has spoken - I would like to congratulate Hon. Amos Kimunya, the Honourable MP for Kipipiri, who is the incoming Leader of the Majority Party. I have no doubt in my mind that Hon. Amos Kimunya will not disappoint in this position. First, he has the experience that has been talked about. He is serving his third term in Parliament. More importantly, he has served in two positions that are very critical for the position that he will now hold. First, ...

know accountants to be very thorough and all-round. If you want an all-round person, you will get him or her in an accountant. We are even lawyers. Allow me to say the following about my good friend, Hon. Duale, who is the outgoing Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Duale and I came to Parliament on the same day. We were sworn in on the same day and in the same party. We planned together to elect Marende as the Speaker. Since 2011, Duale and I have not been on the same political side. He chose to support the President ...

There is one thing that I want to say about him, Hon. Deputy Speaker. He is a very honest person. If something is not possible, he tells you and you can disagree with him. I wanted to be the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the 11th Parliament. However, the Jubilee Party was not comfortable with me. I asked him the reason because I had been whispered to by a Member. I will tell you who told me today. Hon. Nelson Gaichuhie whispered to me that Hon. Duale did not want me to be the Chair of PAC. ...

I am happy because Hon. Duale told me that the Jubilee Party was very uncomfortable with me being the Chair of the PAC. I did not become the Chair of the PAC. That is politics. Who wants someone who will not further his political agenda in a particular seat? I wish Hon. Duale well in his service for the people of Garissa Township Constituency. At a personal level, we will still remain friends. As to your political leaning, I do not know where you will stand because a lot of changes and dynamics are coming along the way going to ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for making that comment. What needs to be done is just implementation. We agreed in the last meeting of the House Business Committee that there were people who were designated to talk for 30 minutes. I think we finally settled on 15 minutes. A seat is free if a Member has not appeared in the House to occupy it. These seats do not belong to individual Members. It is only that you book. If you booked and you are not there, let the Members who are present come in and occupy those seats. Actually, we ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, first-come-first-served is easier said, but it would also look ridiculous for MPs to start running here. We are not children. Let us have some order and have some few minutes of reservations.

This idea of first-come-first-served is not good because you will start pushing each other at the door. I do not think I would be party to such a thing.
