• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this Motion. I agree with my colleague, Mr. Wetangula. To start with, not even a single Minister has ever visited my constituency. view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with Mr. Wetangula that Ministers going around the country marketing political parties be surcharged for using Government resources. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President spoke about several issues. However, he never mentioned critical national interests. We can group these interests into two; economic and security. When the economy is perceived to have grown by 5.8 per cent to 6 per cent and that does not translate to help citizens improve their livelihood, as far as I am concerned, that economy has not improved. If prudent distribution of resources is not done, then we cannot ... view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am going to continue. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you look at the Ministry of Energy, the Minister, Assistant Minister and Permanent Secretary come from the same region. We have 42 tribes in this country. We have to distribute positions. This is part of corruption. Nepotism is corruption. We have to make a country of all Kenyans not of one region. That is all I am saying. view
• 21 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: That is not true! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that any time I stand to contribute, the hon. Members on the other side of the House think I am contravening the rules of this House. I am not, but I am trying to make corrections for this nation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President should have brought out the issue of police compensation. I agree with the President on the issue of amendment of the Firearms Act. That will be very important to deter people from having guns without licenses. Those without licenses should be punished severely. However, we ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Right from the outset, I stand to oppose the adjournment of this House. This is because if you draw up a score card on the performance of this House and highlight six issues: Security, democracy, education, health, infrastructure and corruption, the results will be that this House has done fairly very little. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to security, yesterday, the United Nations passed a resolution that IGAD countries should produce a peace support mission and send it to ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The secondary role of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kenya is to assist the civil authorities in maintenance of law and order. Is the hon. Member in order to insinuate that the armed forces are killing Kenyan citizens? view

• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have to clear my name. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The current President of the Republic of Kenya is the Chairman of the Kenya National Security Committee. They passed a decision of solving problems of insecurity. We had been given instructions by the Defence Headquarters and we never killed any Pokot, but we arrested the Pokots who had broken the law. We will never allow the citizens of this country to be misled or misrepresented by the likes of Mr. Moroto. These are the kind of Assistant Ministers we have in this country who defend criminals. We cannot allow criminals ... view
