19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly:
government were well educated but they forgot everything and became gullible. They had a disease of grabbing everything they found on their way. That is where we went wrong. Now we have realised our mistake. We can try to get riches but all the riches we gain will not take us anywhere. It is high time we repented and said: “I better take the little I am paid than accept that small token I am being given so that I can allow an un-roadworthy vehicle or a vehicle transporting drugs to pass a road block.” We should not take those ...

With those few remarks, I support the Bill with reservations. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill, which is long overdue. The way a majority of Kenyans normally dress is telling that we have completely forgotten our culture and where we came from. It is high time we started rethinking about ourselves. Where did we lose direction? As others have said, I also commend the Maa and Ogiek communities for resisting western influence. The two communities have been persistent in observing and preserving their traditions, especially in terms of dressing. So, I congratulate the Maa and the Ogiek communities. However, I also appeal to other ...

where they came from. It is high time they went back and found out the little they can trace from the few remaining wazees or senior citizens. The way we dress here in Kenya is troubling. The Indian community came here in the 18th Century, but they still retain their culture. How come we were used to wearing traditional dresses but, immediately the white man came; we abandoned whatever we used to do and started emulating the white man? For instance, in Parliament, it is compulsory that all men must wear a neck tie. What is the meaning of that? ...

15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill. If we pass this Bill as it is, many Kenyans will start having confidence in our judicial system. Many Kenyans had lost hope in our judicial system. That is the reason why after the post-election violence and whatever transpired, all Kenyans agreed that they did not have confidence in our own courts. That is how we ended up going all the way to the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague. As I support this Bill, let it be noted that those people who will be in ...

can select the right people, especially the Registrar because he is the one who is in charge of everything.

15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have heard of many cases where files are getting lost in courts. They either disappear or are eaten. Those files contain all the evidence that the poor mwananchi who goes to the courts to seek justice depends on. So, I would like to say that we are now heading in the right direction. By the end of the day when this Bill will be implemented fully, Kenya will not be the Kenya we have where people have lost hope. We have heard of cases of rampant corruption but I hope that those fellow Kenyans who ...

8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this important Bill. This Bill has been overdue for a long time. I hope you will agree with me that many Kenyans have been deprived their rights through delay of justice. Many Kenyans have suffered a lot. I would like to start by thanking the Jubilee Government for coming up with such a noble Bill to support and to remember the suffering that the ordinary mwananchi has been going through. Many Kenyans have suffered and lost properties because previously there was no proper administration in the Judiciary. Corruption was very rampant ...

8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I would like to go back and ask ourselves: Why did Kenyans lose confidence in ourselves? It is time we came out clearly, openly and say that enough is enough when it comes to corruption. We should wipe out corruption in all systems or arms of the Government; when this Bill is passed many Kenyans will have confidence in getting justice when they go to any court. They will be confident and sure that their grievances will be heard and listened to and judged properly.
