• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: No. I am sure Baba’s opinion was not sought on this. Otherwise, it would have been done differently and I would have known that the opinion was sought. Probably, I would have helped to advise differently. Back to the serious matter before us, I ask that we allow this debate to proceed. It is on the basis that today, maybe for the first time in the history of this country, we are seeing more women given more positions in a commission. The only unfortunate thing about it now is that the commission is about gender. I wish it was another ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also support this Motion to approve nine eminent Kenyans who are going to represent us. They are going to be called His or Her Excellencies because they represent the presidency of this country in those countries. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, most of them have the qualifications, and I know some of them personally. I do not want to over-emphasise about Benjamin Langat whom we served with in this Parliament for 10 years and has shown competence. He is the one who was chairing the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning of the House and he can perform. I also know Patrick. We know him as Ahenda Medi Medi. He is a very diplomatic individual who also has extensive experience. Before he even joined Parliament, he had a lot of interaction internationally. He is someone I know who ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, many of us are happy with Manoah Esipisu’s work record at State House, and the way he was discharging his duties. He is composed and did very well in his office. Maybe, his boss has a different view but, in my view, he did very well. Francis Muhoro has had issues with his performance but the complexity of that office must also be appreciated. We urge anyone who is given a public office that when you are serving there, ensure that you work for the benefit of the people of Kenya. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, allow me to talk about Sarah Serem. Maybe, something that Hon. Members are not aware of is that we belong to the same denomination with Sarah Serem - The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Seventh Day Adventist. I have disagreed in the past with some of her decisions. Hon. Kaluma is not so sure whether I pray, but I want to tell him that I pray a lot and that is why most of my character is not bad. I do not hang around with him in the evening where he hangs around. That should tell him that there must be something that is keeping me away, not anything but the glass. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me go back to Sarah Serem because when Hon. Kaluma sits near you, if you are not careful, he can easily distract you. I have disagreed with Sarah Serem especially where she did not have the wisdom to appreciate the work and role of an MP. I was shocked to learn that Sarah Serem could not even understand the role of an MP. I am happy today that she knows the role of an MP - that an MP can give or deny you a job. That, to me, has satisfied me and made me have peace ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We want to prove to Sarah Serem that we are not vindictive. We want to prove to her that even though she did not appreciate us, we appreciate her and allow her go to China and represent this country. I do not mind even if she treats us the way she has been treating MPs here. After all, even if she treats me the way she wants in China, I will come back to Kenya. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: So, I just want to pass a message to Sarah Serem that she needs to have some interpersonal skills to deal with people. Her public relations is very low. Sometimes, my denomination can make you to be a very confined person. We have some beliefs that sometimes people do not appreciate very much. I tried to asses her performance in line with our beliefs and they were not in tandem. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: However, I also appreciate that she was not alone in that Commission. She was also working with people. I want to assume that probably she meant well, but the team that she had probably did not appreciate us much. view
