• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is good to be home. We want to be a country that loves her people. But I insist that when we are talking of prisoners, we are not talking of college students being transferred from the USA back home. Rather, we are talking of, on average, bad people who have done bad things. They probably need to be punished; be it in Kenya or outside Kenya. I lived in the USA for some years. I always tried to be careful not to commit crimes. I do not find it proper that a Kenyan, as mentioned ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. (Ms.) Tobiko wants to speak. Having just arrived from the Philippines, she might be having some good information from that country. Therefore, let me stop at that point. I might support or not support. view

• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for this opportunity, hon. Speaker. Before I get into this Bill, there are serious questions that we need to answer or think about on this Meditation Committee now that we will be having mediation committees as contemplated by the Constitution. With the disagreements coming from the Senate, we know we will be having these committees more than what we have had now. Under Article 113 of the Constitution, you and the hon. Speaker of the Senate are given powers to nominate Members to be in the mediation committee once the two Houses disagree on these Bills particularly the ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: say the number. The question that I want to raise here is: Are members of this committee supposed to go into mediation as individual Members or as delegations of the two Houses? That question is very fundamental because if you look at Article 113(4), it says that this Bill can fail or go through two means. If Mediation Committee disagrees, then that Bill fails. If one of the Houses disagrees with the Report of the Mediation Committee, then that Bill fails. My understanding here is that the Mediation Committee goes in as a delegation of the Houses and not as ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: key words there; “between” and “among” and there is nothing that the Senate is supposed to do as far as the word “between” is concerned. It is only supposed to do “among” counties. As hon. Langat said, we have a Judiciary that is being an activist. We have an activist Judiciary that is not trying to interpret those parts that are implied by the Constitution but actually trying to amend the Constitution by interpreting things that are explicitly expressed. I also think we failed as a House because when the Senate went to the Judiciary, that is the Supreme Court ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for this opportunity hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to first of all appreciate the debate we had today over the manner in which the Budget and Appropriations Committee operates with the other Committees. Committees spend a lot of time and talk to different people who are concerned with those Ministries in trying to come up with the Budget Estimates. At the end of the day we have to come up with a budget which is national and serves our macro-economic goals. We appreciate the involvement of Committees and I want to say that as a member of that ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Whether you give it to us or not, let the truth be out there. view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, because the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Trade and Planning whom I respect so much has disrupted my train of thought, let me stop there. view
