• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first place, I want to approach this matter from a logical point of view. You cannot pay monies earlier than due and argue that at that point in time, you are not spending additional funds. You are now presiding over a Bill that touches on the Constitution of Kenya which requires that any money Motion or Bill must receive Presidential consent before it comes to the House. Is it in order that you should allow that to happen? view
• 25 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am a pensioner myself. Although pension is not a right, in the sense of human rights, pensions are earned. Everyone should be paid one’s pension but we have an obligation, as a House, to defend the Constitution of this country. If you pay today money that you are expected to pay in the year 2011, to say that you are not drawing monies that you should not have drawn at that particular point in time is avoiding to be reasonable.

So, it is a welcome Bill from that point of view. We know that the services which we need and which our constituents expect must be financed. Other than in ... view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek your guidance. As clarification was being sought from the Minister, hon. Wamalwa stood up and said, and I will paraphrase his statement: “Kenya is supposed to be governed under the rule of law.” For the sake of our records, is Kenya supposed to be governed under the rule of law or it is a fact that Kenya is governed under the rule of law? view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: By what? view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek your guidance because I want to understand the way this debate is going, so that I can internalize the issue. A section of the Constitution has just been read with regard to the collective responsibility of Cabinet Ministers. Is it constitutional to allow any Member who is in that category to infringe the Constitution, which he has vowed to defend? view
• 15 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for granting me the opportunity to air my views like any other Member of this House on this crucial and important matter; the Mau Forest Complex. view
