• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: have waited for too long as many have said and, this time round, it is almost becoming a reality. We are going to realize a new Constitution. We should not be too critical of the CoE for having amended again, the amendments by the PSC. Really, that is the work of the CoE. They have all the history, information, data and what Kenyans want. So, when they made some changes and made their point known to this House, it is only fair that we give attention to those changes and, if possible, adopt them. I think the CoE took a ... view
• 3 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Let me quickly touch on constituency matters. I am particularly concerned with Government plans and implementation of programmes. Take the case of the roads’ money. We are being given roads money when it is raining and you cannot do any road. The roads are terrible! If that money was given a month or so ago, we would have done the roads so that, when the rains come, at least, the roads can be passable. But, right now, you are given Kshs16 million and it is splashed over newspapers and in the media but, you cannot use it. It is money ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know it is very hard for an accountant to do exactly what he is saying. You need to be a doctor or a psychologist to do that. Let me go to my point. Our rules of debate had envisaged that not all of us would be able to read the documents and that is why we have parliamentary committees.

• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this particular amendment. I think we should be serious about the definition of youth. You will find that in this country someone who has two wives still considers himself a youth. I think it is high time we brought this to a stop. Let us address the real “youth” in this country. Otherwise, you will find people who are approaching fifty years of age campaigning on the platform of youth. This is because the definition of “youth” is amorphous. When we want to restrict the youth to the relevant age, some ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I just wanted to remind the Minister of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 that Vision 2030 was not brought to this House for approval. I think the Government has just been implementing it. It is an Executive tool and therefore, it should not be referred to in this House. Is the Minister in order to refer to a document which was not brought to this House? view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support that particular amendment. Let the chair be the real youth and not the ones that we think are youths and are not youths! view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support this amendment. I think this is a very good amendment. We have put the word “youth” here to do away with the pretenders to the throne; people who were in Youth for KANU 92 and 20 years later, they still think they are the youth! view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is the Minister in order to revive a case that this House debated and passed? Is he not contradicting the resolution of the House without coming up with a Motion in a proper way? view
