• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the matter the Member has mentioned--- I will give him a chance to substantiate. I also want to bring to your attention the fact that he sits in the Committee on Delegated Legislation and when we were sitting, at no time did he register dissent. The matter that he wants to raise, that I have special interest, I do not know about it, My Statement was on illegal appointment of a Director-General. He wants me to start fighting with my brother, hon. Mbadi, and that is misleading the House. He should come out clearly. It is also ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what happened is that I was here with my fellow county man and he accidentally carried my card when we exchanged seats. I still have my card. I want to use this card because I have a request for a Statement that I want to make. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to use this card. I would like to seek a Statement, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), from the Leader of Majority Party on the recent appoint of the Director-General of Lands by the Cabinet Secretary. The Lands Act and the Lands Registration Act, 2012 do not envisage such a position and yet the Cabinet Secretary single-handedly appointed the holder of the office. I would like the Leader of Majority Party to come and report to this House on the following:- One, why the Cabinet Secretary revoked the appointment of Mr. Zablon Mabea ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to be on record to thank my friend for bringing this timely Motion, which I want to second. In a normal man’s wallet, there are not less than 27 cards. In normal female colleagues, you can see the kind of bags they are carrying day in, day out. Our primary school pupils carry birth certificates when they are going to register for their KCPE examinations. They carry some other documents like baptism cards. For the ones who are going to register for Form Four exams, some of them even ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: had a lot of money. On checking the wallet, they found that he had only Kshs500. They asked him: “ Wewe ni Mbunge wa wapi ? They really hammered him. Actually, it took the intervention of the then Assistant Minister who rescued hon. Akula. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know that it is normal routine. When we came to this Parliament, we were given the logging-in card and another card for identification as a Member of Parliament. By the time we were coming to this House, we had ATM cards, an ID, passport and a driving licence. If this system ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if this system can be put in place, I do not see the reason why when you attain the age of 18 years, you must apply for an identity card. I wish it would be automatic because they have my records showing when I was born. It should be automatic when I go to the Registrar of Persons to get my ID. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to be on record as saying that there was a time we discussed this issue with hon. Nyamai when he left his wallet in my car. He was asking me to read for him the account number of one of his banks, but I told him that I was tired of that when I perused the documents. I asked him to come for his wallet. That was the genesis of this Motion. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: So, I second the Motion and hope that our colleagues will come in handy without looking at partisan politics. People know that hon. Nyamai comes from the other side of the divide while I come from the other side of the divide. However, this Motion is for this House and this country. I think we should support it. view

On 25th July, 2013, I rose to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Administration and National Security on the allegation of jamming police communication. The Chairman promised this House that he was to come back, but I am still waiting for that Statement. view
