• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: bandits. They are bandits attacking the responsibility and functions of the National Assembly. We should call them legislative bandits for what they are. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a House where we need decorum. You have just heard Hon. Simba Arati, who has not even worn proper shoes although they are expensive, say that Hon. Ichung’wah is known for thieving or stealing; that he is a thief. Those are very serious words to utter against an Hon. Member. I think he needs to withdraw and apologise. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. As I agree with the President and support his proposed amendments, I have a somewhat... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I agree with the President that sometimes, we tend to think that Government can run businesses. I think we need to start accepting that the Government’s job is not to run businesses. However, to me, we need to go back to the Constitution and talk about public participation. When Government, through ministries, is making far-reaching recommendations such as this one, the people of the Coast need to be comfortable. When I hear Hon. Nassir talk, we should not dismiss him.

• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I contribute to this Petition, I just want to say that issues of land are emotive and we are alive to them.

• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: However, I think I would not be out of order by saying that the greed of Kenyans as usual got into this commission and messed it up. I think as the Committee deals with this matter, they should address the bigger question of whether the National Land Commission (NLC) is still helpful in its current form or there is something we need to do. Not really to do away with it but, maybe, to reform it and have a commission that can serve us. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, I think what the father of the House who happens to be my former teacher was talking about is the Report of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). I would want to urge my counterpart, the Leader of the Majority Party, that this Report probably needs to be brought here for proper debate so that it is implemented. I think it has been resisted for too long and it can help address some of these issues. view

• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is in order for this House to express itself strongly in support of the Statement by the Chair of Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations regarding utterances attributed to one of us and, unfortunately, a Member of this august House who has brought unnecessary friction, unnecessary conflict and unnecessary misunderstanding and disagreement between two important neighbouring nations – Kenya and Tanzania. view
