• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this amendment. I wish to oppose the amendment to this Motion. Listening carefully to my friend, Hon. Kioni, proposing the amendment, if this amendment goes through, then the substance of this Motion will be lost. Therefore, the Motion will be of no significance, even if we support it finally. Therefore, I oppose the amendment to this Motion, and my reasons are as follows. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Firstly, this country has gone through two autocratic regimes We are in the third regime of dictatorship. If we need to put a stop to this, the “imperial” Executive, an Executive that has no respect for Parliament, has to be told that it has to toe the line.

She advised us to show respect to the President but I would advise her equally – to kindly go and advise the Executive to respect Parliament and the people ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lot has been said about the Executive authority that vests in the Presidency, but the proponents of this argument forget that, that Executive authority is exercised on behalf of the people of Kenya.

• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is why I begged for your indulgence. The Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs argued a lot about the First Schedule to the Act and Section 3(2).

• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could I know why the Minister has not declared interest in this matter? This is because in the Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth and Thirteenth Reports of Public Investments Committee (PIC), the same Minister was mentioned and was supposed to be a subject of investigation by the KACC.
