• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was at the Pan Afric myself, but I was not paid a cent. Anybody who saw me in the cameras that the Press had there and has heard what Ms. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Karua has said, the impression they will have is that I was there to be paid money. I do not take this kindly at all, especially from somebody who is trying to be the President of this Republic. This is not how to win votes and become the President of Kenya. view
• 26 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: It is utterly ridiculous! She needs to withdraw it before she goes to file whatever she is supposed to file. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not want to argue with my colleague, the Assistant Minister. But I do not think I was really out of order. That is because we are saying the same thing. He is saying what I am saying. I have said that the flash points that make the whole region insecure are in my constituency. I want to thank him and his Ministry for, at least, taking some positive measures to deal, once and for all, with insecurity in that area. I want to thank the Commissioner of Police for accepting to put up a ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs does not make rules for this House. So, the issue of overriding statement does not arise. It is only the Speaker who can give directives in this House. Every Member is equal here. So, whatever he has given is an opinion that is not special and bigger than any other opinion. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House passed a law that capped the number of wards. This House has not reversed that law. So, we cannot have a report of the same House or Committee of the same House proposing an increase before the amendment of that law. So, this is a very important issue that requires a ruling from you. It is an illegal exercise by a Committee of this House because the Committee is attempting to amend a law passed by this House through a backdoor. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I second this very important amendment. It would satisfy the feelings of our people back home that their rights and desires were taken care of. These are the desires of the people of Igembe and Meru County in general. view

• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I also take this opportunity to send my condolences to the family and friends of the late John Michuki. I had an opportunity to work with him as his Assistant Minister when he was in the Ministry of Provincial Administration and Internal Security. I enjoyed working with him because he was a hard worker, very caring, very knowledgeable because I learnt a lot from him. I remember during his time, there were many security challenges and he did a lot to make sure that the situation was improved. In fact, when he left, the situation was ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to also contribute to this extremely important Bill that will implement devolution in the new Constitution. When we look at all the changes and the revolution that will be brought by the new Constitution, in my opinion, the most important and far reaching change that it will bring is devolution.

There are people who have opinions about many other issues but ... view
