• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is good to listen to hon. Langat. It is good he has mentioned that some attention is being given to this Bill. However, as I pointed out, they had 14 days under the Standing Orders to transact the Bill regardless of the procedure of getting some input from the CIOC and the Leader of Majority Party. That is perfect, but they should have done it within the 14 days. How soon is this soon? I request that, that committee processes this Bill and if we could have it next week for First Reading, I would appreciate. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I also want to join my colleagues in celebrating, in death, the life of the late hon. Chelagat Mutai. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: We need to appreciate a few things. First, if about 40 years ago, and at the age of 24, the people of Eldoret North Constituency could entrust leadership in the hands of this young woman, why is it that the Kenyan society is still struggling now to accept that women can offer leadership to this country; that we have to apply affirmative action? I think we need to appreciate that this lady did not disappoint. Even now, the Kenyan society needs to appreciate women more so that we see more women representation in the next Parliament. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I also want to observe that even though the late Chelagat Mutai became a Member of Parliament when the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was the President, she also became a Member of Parliament again when President Moi was in office. Even though they came from the same ethnic community, she did not fail to rise up against former President, Daniel arap Moi’s regime. That is a lesson to us that we need to put ethnicity aside, especially if it is not in tandem with the needs of our people. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, if you allow me, I also want to talk about the fact that this lady could stand together with others to fight for democracy that we now enjoy. It will be sad if we slip back and go against the gains that these strong Kenyan men and women fought for. I am saying this because right now there is talk, and we have read everywhere that there is a Motion that is likely to be--- view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the debate that is going on. First of all, devolution is here with us. It is something that we cannot do away with, unless we go for a referendum and do away with the devolved system of government. All the Members are in agreement that, that is not the route that we want to go. But at the same time, it is very much in order for us, as leaders, when we see possible misuse of resources, we must point it out. We should be understood. I know that when you discuss matters like these, ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The talk about Ksh210 billion for example, being not sufficient, truly, it may not be sufficient in the long-run, but if this money is well utilized in the first year, it is sufficient. We did not budget for wastages through purchase of what hon. Bett has just talked about - of Prados in one year. We did not budget for the construction of the governors houses in one year. It cannot even work. Even the Vice-President’s house had to take many years. We did not budget for the construction of huge offices for governors and the county governments in one ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, allow me an extra minute. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. There is nothing really to emphasize on what you have said. This is because you have eloquently and elaborately mentioned what should be done. However, there is something that I wanted to point out view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is true that many of us, especially those who served in previous Parliament, missed the exciting times of Question Time and Ministerial Statement. We view
