• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would appreciate if you could restrain hon. Abass. He is my friend, but that is the way he talks even in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). That is why we have a problem in PAC. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I withdraw and apologise to my friend, hon. Ababu. This is a point we have belaboured. But I think if you could restrain hon. Abass, it would be good. He knows that we are very good friends. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, why is it necessary for us to capture this figure in the Budget Policy Statements? Let us accept the fact that we are not at the Budget Estimates stage. Article 221 of the Constitution affects the Budget Estimates, and not the Budget Policy Statement.

We are the ones who increased the CDF allocation from Kshs33 billion to Kshs35 billion. Why did they not dispute that variation? When we do not add more money to the CDF, Members argue that we have no powers. We have the power. That is why we gave you the money. Members must accept that power belongs to Budget and Appropriations Committee. view

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose the amendment by the Chair of the Departmental Committee, hon. Chepkong’a. He is my friend but at times he surprises me. The issue here is domestic violence. It is about violence. Violence is actually meted out more on the people he is trying to remove from the Bill.
