8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that the Assistant Minister has confirmed that there was never a Member of Parliament who was involved in this scam; could the Government consider giving a public apology and publishing it in the newspapers for having entertained such malicious information on Members of Parliament, particularly now that we are going for elections?

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, over one-and-a-half years ago we did The Labour Bill. The Attorney-General persuaded the hon. Member that the best way was to hold so that he could organize a mechanism in which he was going to gazette the new basic salaries for the workers of the flower farms. We made another attempt under The Statutes (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill. Again, between the Attorney-General and I, agreed that, that small bit that was appearing in the Labour Bill and was going to be part of The Statutes (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill. Now that we are purging out everything, except ...

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, during the infamous 9/11 in the USA, they formed what they call the Homeland Security. Extraordinary events require extraordinary things. The Kenyan situation is such that we require strong chiefs to manage our affairs. Even if they did not exist, under this Constitution, we can still create chiefs or their like, so that they are strong enough. The governors should feel safe. If they are doing it right, they require chiefs to maintain security. The more agents we have, the better for us. I support.

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. In supporting it, I want to remind the Minister to even look where the Government has investment, like in the Kenya Airways. The issue of procuring those jets popularly known as “umbria” and ignoring what the rest of the world is doing in terms of going for good equipment such as Boeing or Airbus is in itself retrogressive. It is retrogressive because there are reasons as to why Boeing is Boeing and Airbus is Airbus. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should allow our own carriers like Jetlink, if ...

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to pick from where Minister Anyang-Nyong’o left and tell the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, the Attorney-General and the current judicial system, that the way some of those learned friends run the affairs of their clients is particularly appalling. I have personally been a victim not once, twice or thrice. At one point, a huge amount of money is deposited and then what you get is a negative fee note after everything has now been deposited. I see them every day in court and as we vet the judges ...

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the appointment of Mr. Halakhe Waqo. I have read about the CEO for that organization for seven years. Kenyans have been treated to lies that John Mututho faces economic crimes. I want to tell you that John Mututho has never faced any of those. It appears even in reports in this Parliament. But because I believed in oranges when Kikuyus were supposed to believe in bananas I still pay a price. Those are the kind of people who have headed the anti-corruption body. It is a shame that even now with ...

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the candidate, Ms. Lydia Nzomo, you need to go through the history of personalities in Kenya to disqualify her. She has merit in her own way. She is a performer. This dragon called the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission that has kept hon. Mututho himself as a suspect in court without ever taking him to court, cannot be a yardstick to making people miss positions that they have earned equitably. The power of a woman is now being felt in schools and students are now over 50 per cent. So, even without asking for ...

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathise with hon. Kimunya because he seems to have lost his geography. The Head of Civil Service does not even know where he comes from. He is from Nyandarua, mara he is from Central Province; he is not sure! He is either from Mirangine or Lari. You cannot say that he comes from Nakuru.

3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly:
If you want to know the home of the former Commandant of Administration Police, it is exactly one kilometre from the junction of Karen where he has two homes. Thanks, he has two wives. That is where he comes from. He grabbed a piece of land which is mentioned in the Ndung’u Report and it is 200 acres in Elburgon. If that makes him come from Nakuru, then that is it. For TA, it explains why TA is just there by name. It does not have a budget because it comes from Nakuru. It was a mistake to have somebody ...
