• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have just mentioned various articles on the freedom of the media; the freedom to associate and the right of privacy. If there is any Bill introduced in this House which is going to alter or limit those freedoms, then that Bill is unconstitutional. Therefore, before we even move ahead to even allow debate, because moving a Motion is actually a debate-- The moment the Mover moves, it is already a debate. So, I would urge the Chair to make a ruling on this matter; and a careful ruling. This is a precedent. You need to ... view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would also want to wish my colleagues, together with their constituents, a merry Christmas and a happy New Year as we go on recess. I hope that during this recess, we will have a complete recess because I suspect we may be called back to this House very soon to approve one of my hon. Member who has been poached by the Jubilee administration. I do not know for what reason, but I suspect it is because of lack of human resource in the Jubilee side which has occasioned that appointment. Hon. Speaker, allow me ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Sometimes, we over-legislate in this country. We do too much legislation but no one implements and no one comes up with proper structures to help actualise what we legislate. Some of these things just need regulations. You do not need to put a lot of our time debating here acrimoniously. I hope that you will keep your promise of amending the provisions of the Constitution. Use your tyranny of numbers in a positive way and not in negative energy. Thank you, hon. Speaker. I wish everyone, including the Hon. Speaker, a Merry Christmas. view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to eulogize the late hon. Kamotho and condole together with my colleagues on the demise of this great politician. Many of us came to know J.J Kamotho when we were in school. He was someone who had admirers, but equally he had people who felt that his political direction was not the most preferred. However, one thing that stands out and which, probably, the Leader of Majority Party was trying to bring out, but did it in a way that brought confusion, is that, the late hon. J.J. The electronic version ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Kamotho was a principled politician in the sense that, once he did something, he believed in it. There are two examples that I will give. One was when he believed in KANU and President Moi’s leadership. He would go to great lengths to defend that position. Many people were offended by that, but he believed in it and supported it. However, when he felt the former President Moi made mistakes in terms of appointing, or rather anointing the current President, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, to be the President from 2003, the late hon. J.J Kamotho decided to break with tradition. No ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am really equally shocked. What I was saying was that I just did not understand why the Leader of Majority Party was comparing himself to hon. Ababu and me. The two of us hold substantive positions in a serious political party; the largest party in East and Central Africa, yet the Leader of Majority Party holds no party position. Actually, he has never held any serious party position. If he has ever held one, then it must have been as a sub-location chairman view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to thank you for allowing me to be the third speaker to talk about these accounts. view
