• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: You will recall that in 2003, even though the former President, His Excellency Mr. Kibaki is someone whose integrity this country very much knows about, his Government was tarnished because of his friends whom he had put in sensitive positions. Therefore, I would have loved to see that His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya, who was voted into power in probably less than four months ago, should have been very careful to avoid--- If he wanted to reward his friend, he should have taken him to a more politically correct office. When he takes his friend to ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, with friends like my friend, hon. wa Kabando, if you are a President, you do not need enemies. I do not think it serves the President well to have sycophants. As a House we need to help the President govern this country. I may be in the opposition but we want the President to govern this country. Many appointments have been made which the President would have avoided if he was given the correct advice. We are offering it now for free but you do not want to take it. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: My friend was in the Government for far too long. He contributed very little to the last 10th Parliament. So, he does not even know the Standing Orders, and when someone is out of order or in order. I will continue. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I really do not take offence to such remarks because I am not in doubt of my competence and ability and even by going to the Prime Minister’s Office, I was going to discharge my duties and I do not think it was really a reward. In my view, I discharged my duty both in the Back Bench and in the Front Bench perfectly well and that is history. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, what I was going to say, and which I was interrupted from saying is that there is no demonstration that, that officer who we are vetting today--- I want to remind my friend, hon. Kabando, that the appointment did not just find its way into this House. The appointment came from the President of the Republic of Kenya. We know that Public Service Commission (PSC) did interviews but I am surprised that the interviews seem to be lopsided, engineered and stage-managed. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think I should proceed now because the more we continue with this debate, the more, sometimes, we portray that we are not fully view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi once taught in my campus and actually, I treat him like my teacher because he taught Public Finance - one of the units. Although he did not teach me as a student, he was teaching my other colleagues and so, he is my teacher. Hon. Speaker, this House is entitled to the truth. Hon. Chepkonga mentioned that Mr. Njee Muturi comes from Nyeri. Now, we are hearing hon. Jimmy Angwenyi telling us that he comes from Nairobi. Hon. Speaker, I am quoting what has been said on the Floor of ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order! What is this now? view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is not that I advocate tribalism; I am following ethnic background. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, hon. Shebesh is completely out of order. We have a Report before us here. If hon. Shebesh goes to page one of this Report, it clearly indicates the district and county. For Mr. Muturi Njee – and I am not a member of the Committee - it is indicated “Nyeri”. You cannot belong to two counties! This is a matter of record! All of us stay in Nairobi. I work in Nairobi but that does not make me come from Nairobi County. I come from Homa Bay County, hon. Speaker. view
