• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said report. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have rightly guided hon. Arama. I did not want to talk because I am mourning my mentor in politics, but I have been provoked into talking. First, in your Communication, you said that the person who wrote the letter is the Chief Whip of the Minority Party, hon. Mwadeghu. I do not know when he held a meeting in Kisumu, and with whom. That should, therefore, tell him that the decision to remove him from the committees is from the party. Secondly, if he was keen, he would have understood, from your Communication, that 50 per cent ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in this country, we are mistaking bad manners for democracy. The kind of democracy that we want to practise in Kenya is practised nowhere in the world. Even in the United States of America, you cannot have a Member of the Republic Party talking ill about that party every day, every hour and still want to enjoy the benefits of that party. Hon. Arama must understand that if he is tired of being in the ODM, the right thing to do is to cross over to the other side of the House. It is very simple; you just ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: If he can still win, let him resign, re-contest his seat in Nakuru on another party’s ticket, come back to the House and enjoy the benefits of that party. On an ODM ticket, we are overstretching the patience of parties too far. Even the Jubilee Coalition cannot allow something of that sort. In fact, the Jubilee Coalition is more dictatorial. The Leader of Majority Party has been threatening Members of the Jubilee Coalition every minute. They cannot even vote with their conscious. They have to be whipped to vote even when they do not want to vote but us, in ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to condole my great friend. I am trying to look for what to say within the three minutes. Let me start by saying that this is probably the second greatest Suba to lose his life after the death of Tom Joseph Mboya in 1969. I know many Subas who have died, but the truth is that this is the second greatest Suba, after Tom Joseph Mboya. I knew Otieno Kajwang’ in 1992 when I was at the University of Nairobi. I remember we travelled with Kajwang’ in his car to Mbita ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I want to conclude by saying that I actually called Senator Otieno Kajwang’ my project for Senate. He used to tell people that he was my project. As I wind up, I want to mention that all the Members of Parliament from Homa Bay County in the 10th Parliament did not support Senator Otieno Kajwang’ for Senate. I supported him and I do not regret it. Why? Because he was someone who was passionate, principled and someone you would leave here today and find him. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.225, I rise to present a petition to the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. This is a public petition by Gwasi Hills Support Organisation on eviction of residents from Gwasi Hills Forest. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I, the undersigned, on behalf of the citizens of Kenya, and in particular residents of Suba, who were staying around Gwasi Hills Forest, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, on the morning of 5th May, 2006, a contingent of guards, backed by Administration Police officers and a number of forest officers, descended on three villages in Gwasi where they burned and rendered over 100 families homeless. They destroyed all the property of the affected people; THAT, the residents were wrongly, forcefully and unlawfully evicted from their land without any reason and without any compensation; ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: 4 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 stakeholders and sent a statement to Parliament in 2011, which I personally brought to the House for the then Minister for Environment and Natural Resources. Despite the various attempts made by the residents, no efforts have been made to resolve the issue by the relevant authorities; THAT, the manner in respect of which this petition is made is not pending before a court of law. view
