• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Chief Whip of the Majority Party is completely out of order. When you allow a Member to second a Motion, it should be any Member and it should not be in a way to try and fix anyone in any way. By the way, the Motion is very clear. It talks about the Address by the President. It does not mention a name. It can be John Mbadi as the President. I will be addressing this House. Let Hon. Washiali know that my position has not changed. It is still the same. I do not have ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know the House has been entertained fairly well by my Whip and counterpart on the other side who is the Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The matter which has been raised on the security of Members of this Parliament is very serious. As a matter of fact, I am not looking at it at my individual capacity as Member for Suba South or as the Leader of the Minority Party, but I am looking at the institution of Parliament, its independence and the privileges that are accorded to Members of Parliament regardless of political party affiliations, power or friendship with other organs outside Parliament. The question one needs to address is whether Members of Parliament are extended the privilege of security or not. If that ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: This Constitution did not make a mistake of creating the Majority and Minority parties or coalition of parties. We are here by rights and Constitution. We are here by the virtue of being voted for by the people of Kenya. Hon. Duale said that this is a privilege that we got because the Speaker of the National Assembly then, Hon. Marende, wrote a letter. I also sat with him in that 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
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: 10th Parliament and it is true that it is a privilege that we started enjoying. Even the court of law in this country has re-affirmed the same. I remember in the last Parliament, the National Police Service decided, without any justification, to withdraw Hon. Timothy Bosire’s security. The courts re-affirmed that you cannot discriminate against any Member or a group of Members of Parliament. Therefore, I am not really scared about my security. In fact, I have even realised that being without security is really refreshing because it is a life that I have not enjoyed for quite some time. ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I do not have time to ask Hon. Duale for any favour because he does not have that power. We want to address this matter to the right authority. We are addressing you not only as the Speaker of the National Assembly but also as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). My security was withdrawn and one of my vehicles was taken away. I am even wondering why they have not taken another one because I have my vehicles. If anything, the people of Kenya are very generous because they have given me a car grant to buy ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The independence of Parliament is under attack. Are you telling me that someone can wake up one day and decide to pay or not pay my salary because he perceives me as his enemy? By the way, the leadership of the Minority Party is not expected to praise the leadership of Jubilee. We cannot and we will not. We will continue to attack the leadership of Jubilee. It is not our business to praise President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. We are not here to do that. Whether someone likes it or not, you can withdraw the security, take the vehicles but ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I am addressing you, Hon. Speaker. I do not know why our colleagues are agitated. It is not your security that is withdrawn but ours. We are addressing the leadership of Parliament but not yours. This is our Speaker now. He does not belong to Jubilee Party but to the National Assembly of Kenya. He is the Chairman of PSC. We created his position in the Constitution as the Chairman of the PSC. This Constitution was not voted for by supporters of the Jubilee Party alone. It was voted for by the supporters of both Jubilee Party and the National ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: including the four that Hon. Duale is using. Those vehicles are fuelled and maintained by the people who pay tax. The supporters of NASA do not pay lesser tax. We also pay taxes. This is something that must be addressed. It is not a matter that someone can just shout us down. view
• 13 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
