• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I think this country and its leadership must sober up to certain facts. Kenya is one of the countries that have reasonably enjoyed some stability. But we almost went that way in 2007/2008. Therefore as leaders, because we do have an opportunity now to heal the country, I think this is the time that we can sober up, look back, remember the commitments and the sacrifices that were made by the very able former leaders - the former Prime Minister, the Rt.

• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: parties, we must always remember our heroes of the Grand Coalition Government. That way, we will not have a situation like the one in South Sudan where there is a grandstanding that has led to deaths of people. view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we support the move. But I also want to say that this has been going on. It is not like there are no troops in South Sudan. They are there, but the atrocities are still continuing. That war started in December. There was a ceasefire agreement in January, but it has been held in contempt. The killings are continuing.

• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I hope our President as the Chair of EAC will now lead others and champion others in IGAD, AU and UN to come and help the people in South Sudan.

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 be amended in Sub-clause (2) by inserting the words “and obligations” immediately after the word “rights”. The justification for this amendment is that the clause reads that parties to a marriage have equal rights at the time of the marriage, during the marriage and at the dissolution of the marriage.

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 76 be amended by deleting Sub-clause (2). First of all, Clause 76(1) says, “Except as provided in this section, a promise by a person to marry another person is not binding”. Sub-clause (2) continues to say, “Despite Sub-section (1), damages may be recoverable by a party that suffers a loss when the other party refuses to honour a promise to marry.” The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
