• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: All criminal cases are supposed to be prosecuted by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). In this case, the clause seeks a donation of those powers to arrest from the DPP so that it can effect arrests on behalf of the DPP just like the agency of environment and others have arresting powers donated to them. I support. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to oppose that amendment. I want the Chair to listen to me. A community is never defined by the registration of land; a community stands on its own and lives on land. Therefore, the first person to be defined is the community and then the land. If that is the case, I want to speak from experience that these monies are being given as compensation to a definite community. Why should the county government hold it? It cannot hold it on the basis that the land is not registered. The electronic version ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, I oppose the amendment. Let this money go to the community directly because the land can be registered after 100 years. view

• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are dealing with a legal document and it is not about English. So, I agree with Hon. Oner that let us use the legal language and not English. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to also join my colleague, Hon. ole Kenta, to oppose this amendment because you cannot even define the word “clan”. It would bring problems. Children who are born outside wedlock will have problems. view

I want to thank the President for the way he composed himself despite some of our colleagues trying to derail him from reading his Speech. The President smiled and took it easy and addressed the nation from this Chamber. I want to start where my colleague, Mhe. Kaluma, has just left. I want to tell him Kenya remains one State. There are no federal states in this country. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: This is a unitary state, whether you like it or not. I want to tell you in no uncertain terms that Kenya is a unitary State. So, trying to confuse Kenyans by telling us that we have 48 governments is neither here nor there.

So, saying we must distribute resources equally does not arise. The last comment is on the issue of appointments. I do not know why my colleague has forgotten so soon that during ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I did not raise a point of order when you were talking. Give me my time. It was predictable. If you do not know, go to the records of this country. Hon.
