• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wished you happy 2016 while you were away. Now that you are on the Chair, allow me to just repeat that I wish you a very industrious 2016. Since I had already wished the rest of my colleagues a happy 2016, I do not want to repeat it because they were here. Let me also make my short contribution to this Petition. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The Petition looks very good at the surface of it because as a country, we need to come together. This is what CORD has been calling for from 2014. We have been calling for dialogue and working together so that we correct the 20 per cent that we said in 2010 that needed to be corrected in our Constitution. However, my fear is that for Okoa Kenya Initiative, the train has already left the station. I do not think that whatever the Committee will do will help harmonise view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Kenya with other initiatives that have not even finished collection of signatures. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Our Constitution is very clear on how to amend the Constitution through popular initiative. So, as CORD, together with other members of the civil society and other organizations that are supporting Okoa Kenya Initiative, we will only say that it is a good Petition. But it is too late. We wish this Petition came earlier on. We also wish that our colleagues who have seen sense in working together with us to amend the Constitution saw that sense a little earlier. This includes the Leader of the Majority Party who is a very good friend of mine. So, that is ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: So, I hear Hon. Kamama who is a very good friend of mine. He has never been a heckler except today. I do not know what is forcing him into that habit which he is not used to. At least, he is better than I am on that. So, I want to conclude by saying that it is a good Petition. But for view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Kenya Initiative, the train has left. The IEBC now owes us an explanation. By Tuesday next week, we will lead our troops, as CORD, to the IEBC offices to ask them to tell us whether they have already sent this draft Bill to the 47 counties. I know that the counties are waiting for it. People will be shocked. This is a Bill that is going to be supported by more than 40 counties in this country, including those that were thought to be unlikely. In fact, the wind of change is sweeping this country. Wait and see what will ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. For those who are crossing the Floor, the writing is on the wall. Please do not dig your political graves. Asanteni sana. view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even though I do not know the organization you are referring to, if it is the ODM--- view
• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if it is the ODM, we do not have such a position, but I agree that the great Member for Homa Bay Town is actually the Organising Secretary of ODM, Homa Bay County.

• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Let me take this opportunity, first, to wish the substantive Speaker, the rest of the Speakers Panel and my colleagues a Happy 2016. My Whip is distracting me. I know 2016 is going to be a very busy year for those of us who want to seek re-election and I am sure over 90 percent of the Members in this House want to come back to this House, be Senators or even governors. I want to contribute to the Procedural Motion very briefly. First of all, I want to support this Motion. In my discussion with Hon. Kaluma, we were ... view
