• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to also urge that we allow the Leader of the Majority Party to get his way as the Mover of the Bill to withdraw the Bill before us. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to make my contribution to this Report. First, when these issues came up, it really brought down the image of this Parliament. We must admit that fact. It takes me back to ask whether we are behaving honourably as Members of Parliament. There is a matter like casting aspersions on the character, conduct and integrity of other Members. There is no law which bars you from making those allegations. However, they should be backed by concrete evidence that would stand the test of time. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I find it a bit careless that Members, especially in this Parliament, just talk carelessly about the integrity, conduct and credibility of other Members. We are in this House to debate. We should be allowed to debate in this House freely so that we make decisions. There are so many reports. I have been here for a while from 2008. I would like to tell you that there are numerous Reports of the House which have been defeated. However, this is the first time I have heard scandalous allegations and accusations against other Members. I thought that, probably, the Members ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must admit that it was a shame that the Members who made the allegations, when they appeared before the Powers and Privileges Committee, they made what I would call… - but because this is Parliament, I would not want to use the word “fool”. I am trying to avoid it. The Members did not do justice to themselves. When you make allegations that a colleague has either given or taken a bribe, you must prove it or provide evidence. Otherwise, we will be chasing rumours or propaganda that hurt the image of this House. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, disparaging. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Disparaging. But I was looking for a term on the character of the Members who made the allegations. Personally, I have issues with the Members who made the allegations. They are not helping this country. If you make serious allegations that Members have taken bribes to shoot down a report that was commissioned by this House and then you fail to substantiate the allegations, what would you be telling the country? After reading the Report, I realised that none of the Members came with concrete evidence. Some even withdrew the allegations after going to the media. We can also look ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: My last word is that I expected the Powers and Privileges Committee - Hon. Mwathi should note this - in a case where Members make serious allegations and cannot substantiate them, to reprimand them. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: We have our names and integrity to protect. In fact, a politician eats his or her name. They should not play with our names. If you have evidence against me, mention it. If you do not have any evidence and you make wild allegations against me, you should be reprimanded and bear the consequences. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I thank and congratulate this Committee for working diligently and hard to bring this Report to the House. At one point, I remember the House was a bit concerned that PIC and PAC reports were taking long. As the Leader of the Minority Party, I was told that chairs from my side were not bringing reports. I am happy that now we have very comprehensive reports. Looking at the two reports, you can see the kind of attention that has been given to them. However, since we are debating the PIC now, PAC ... view
