• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Gumbo raised is one that affects everyone. Not everything must degenerate into politics in this House such that if a matter comes from that side we must oppose and if it comes from this side it must be opposed. Certain issues call for leadership. view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: No, it is not even about “tell them” or “hear”. This is to all of us because it happens on both sides. Kenyans are looking at us and they expect leadership from this House. There is a spirit that brings us here. Article 95 of the Constitution states that we are here to represent people. For us to perform better we are at liberty to call a Cabinet Secretary or sit in another chamber. Let us think outside the box. We can be creative as leaders. Despite the specific letter of the law, there is the spirit. When hon. Toboso ... view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise on the strength of Standing Order No.85. Is the hon. Member in order to anticipate debate on Bills that we are not even aware off? We have neither seen the Bills nor discussed them at this point. I think he is grossly out of order.

The real issue has been one name from this House, not from the Senate. The Senate brought 15 names and the National Assembly had 14 names. There is one name that was coming from CORD, which we still want ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: And I am also young. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: So, people will decide. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In as much as I would like to support the amendments that have come, I think the Committee will have quite a task going ahead as this Bill is being processed to actually convince hon. Members; even as they listen to stakeholders as to the reasoning behind some parts of this Bill. It, indeed, does not make sense to consolidate the laws and regulations in the agriculture sector by creating an authority that almost rivals the Ministry itself; an authority that brings together different sub-sectors in agriculture when we are trying to move ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to advise Hon. Odhiambo-Mabona that life is moving and technology is here with us. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am at liberty to advise but I will not. I will just mention because she has spoken--- view
