• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is a point of order. Our Standing Orders are very clear that one must declare interest. We have just heard our colleague from Athi River vehemently refuting a statement, but we know very well there are no cows or there might be very few cows coming from his constituency. I am not sure there are even goats in that constituency apart from the fact that KMC has a factory station there. Is it not prudent for the Member to declare his interest in this matter? For him to give such a vehement defence of the operations ... view
• 24 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. In as much as I am listed as one of the Members of the House Business Committee (HBC), I would like to take this opportunity to wish Members a happy New Year. As you can see from the numbers, it was indeed a task today to even get the quorum, because Members are fully focused on the coming 2017 General Election. I am confident that even as we proceed with the business of the House and that of the elections, Members will dedicate their time for the important business of ... view
• 24 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: I do not know if you can hear me, Hon. Speaker. I know Members have missed each other, but I wish they could lower their discussions. I want to confirm that I am one of those Hon. Members Hon. Mwadeghu was talking about. This is my last Session in this House. There are two categories, there are those who will not come back on purpose and there are those who are going for other positions. For instance, I will go for the position of governor. However, there are others who will not come back not out of their own will, ... view
• 24 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: I just want to echo the remarks of Hon. Ken Okoth. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Ken Okoth of Kibra together with Hon. Osele, Hon. George Theuri and Hon. Stephen Kariuki. Those are four Members out of the top five best performing in the NG- CDF last year. It is important to note that four out five of those who performed well are Members of my Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association. They are all Members who, at the time of election were youthful. So, I would like to congratulate them and I hope it is a ... view

• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for your indulgence. I want to thank your office for allowing them to be here. I want to just explain to Members what the cohesion entails. This team, led by my good friend, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. of CORD, is a team of people who listen to our weekly shows. We are there twice a week. They have always been wondering when they would see us trading words on very heated debates. They have been wondering whether indeed it is possible for Members of Parliament to actually The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: sit down together and have a cup of tea; whether we are indeed friends, and whether Hon. Simba Arati and Hon. Ngunjiri can actually talk together. They were looking for Mhe. Kajwang’. We told them that politics is not enmity, and that they should not, as members of the public, think that we hate each other. We told them that we do not hate each other, and they have seen for themselves. They have had lunch with us and interacted with Members. They have been to the Senate, where they were told that it is the Upper House of Parliament. ... view

• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Bill. A philosophy student like Hon. Wamunyinyi or Dr. Eseli Simiyu, will tell you about a man called Jeremy Bentham who founded the principle of utility. He describes it as the sum of all pleasures that result from an action minus the suffering of anyone who is involved in the action hence the philosophy of utilitarianism, which means the greater good for the most people that will benefit. view
