4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I think the allegation made by hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, who is new but really learning fast in this House, needs to be challenged.

4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
No! No! Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is the hon. Member who has referred to that House. I am not debating and discussing the President. It is the hon. Member who is referring to State House as the “house” of hon. Uhuru Kenyatta. Hon. Speaker, Sir, the house of hon. Uhuru is close to State House, but it is not State House. He moved out of that place to occupy State House because he is now the President of the Republic of Kenya. I think we need to be very clear. State resources are State resources and conducting bi-partisan parliamentary group ...

4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to confirm that Gwassi Hills has miraa, and that it has the potential of growing a lot of miraa . When I went to a place called “Got Kombuta”, I was shocked. There is a lot of miraa in that area. Having said so, I want to say that those who are opposed to the Motion---

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Members also need to realise that there are many factors for consideration in catching the Chair’s eye; they include regional balance. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, those who are opposing the Motion---

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate because time is running out. Let me just put it in very few words in the two minutes that are remaining.

4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Those who are opposing hon. Kajuju’s Motion have, probably, not understood its import. Its import is to establish a select committee to investigate and carry out research with a view to establishing what miraa really is. We cannot wish away the fact that there are certain regions in this country, especially the Meru region, which grow a lot of miraa . This is not something to hide. This has the potential of bringing the economy of that region to a very high standing. This crop should be treated differently from the way it is treated currently. So, I support that ...

3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker. I think our rules of debate are very clear. Our Constitution is also very clear. The separation of powers between the Legislature and the Judiciary is respected. If you listened keenly, and I am sure you did, to the clarification sought by hon. Linturi it clearly discussed the conduct of the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya. Even though I did not know at what point the honeymoon between the Chief Justice and the Jubilee Government ended, I think rules of debate are rules of debate. If hon. Linturi wants us to debate the conduct ...

2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
I think my point of order is overtaken by events, but I think hon. Duale has been missing me for the past two weeks that I have been away. But I did not speak when he referred to me; I just wanted it on record that I am not the one who uttered the words that you are responding to. So, he has been missing me but I am back. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir.

2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I stand on a point of order. I did not want to interrupt the Leader of Majority Party who is really enjoying himself. Our Standing Orders are very clear about repetition. If you listen to the Leader of Majority Party, he is now resulting to pure repetition. Could we find him out of order and if he has concluded his presentation, he should allow other Members to also make their contributions.

2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I think when we are in a position to advise the political leadership, we need to advise them properly. What is the work of a Solicitor-General? I have heard mention of him as the Accounting Officer of the State Law Office. That is true. This office is the one that is very instrumental in various Government contracts. More importantly - we have got it wrong in this country a number of times - is that this is the office that is the official Government receiver when it comes to State corporations. With just three ...
