• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: People who have been awarded honours in our nation and have gone out to misbehave, should have those honours withdrawn. If you are a criminal and an EGH holder, you should be made to return that medal to the State. This medal belongs to the State. This is a very important Bill. You must understand who the peacemakers are in this nation. The people who fought for this country, even if they are dead, should be awarded honours posthumously, if we identify the people who have performed beyond the call of duty. The KDF, for example, apart from what the ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to oppose this Bill. When you look at this Bill, it is taking Kenyans back to the dark ages. First of all, I want to point out that the Office of the Attorney-General has become a conveyor belt. This Bill went through that office and what you find in it are things which are very bad for the citizens of this country. If you are arrested today, the police can deny you bail, yet the Constitution gives you that. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a very important question. It is a great question. Why then do you bring something that is against the Constitution to this House? All commissioners appointed will not have the approval of this House. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can be given a job and nobody in this House, which is supposed to oversee and pass legislation on behalf of the people of Kenya, will have the opportunity to vet the commissioners. This is an extremely bad law. Look at the issue of NGOs, you are telling Kenyans that NGOs get external support. Please ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Okay; I will not say “so called”. I know it is real, but it is a coalition of confusion. This is because you cannot bring things like this to the House. view

• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Can you imagine, and this is fundamental. I also want hon. Sakaja to listen to me. How can you have a Commander-in-Chief as a Cabinet Secretary, the same level of the people he appoints? It is amazing. You read this, if you have not read it. It is amazing yet the Attorney-General has brought this thing on the Floor. It is there. Let me read it out to you. Read the Schedule. You can see for yourself. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: “Cabinet Secretary” means a person appointed as a Cabinet Secretary of the Government of Kenya under the Constitution; the President, the Deputy President and all these other fellows--- Hello, what is this now? view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: This is amazing! We cannot have this? Hon. Chair, I want to say the following: This amendment Bill will kill our people who depend on NGOs for support. We get support from World Vision, AMREF and all these other NGOs. If you are going to curtail their support, this is going to kill our people. With those very few remarks, I oppose this amendment Bill. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Motion as amended. When I look at the observations and findings of the Committee it is very clear that this gentleman fits the bill. The Committee in its finding states thus: “Hon. Mututho is committed. He displayed passion in this job.” We need somebody who is very passionate. The Committee also said that hon. Mututho is best suited for this job. We need a person like that to fight the war on alcohol and drug abuse. I have been with Mr. Mututho for the last five years and he is a ... view
