• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not restricting the new Commission to that. I said that the primary material should be from the former Electoral Commission. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I think the hon. Member should be attentive because it will be very important for us to--- I am bringing out these issues because I want us to pass this Bill and establish this Commission immediately because there are serious challenges. The second challenge is the timeline of the Constitution. There are several timelines which are dictated or determined by the current Constitution, and one of them, which is a big challenge even to hon. Members, is the election date. Will it be on 14th August, 2012? In the same Constitution, the current Parliament should serve its full term. So, ... view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this very important Motion and thank the Mover for bringing this very important issue to the House. We should be dwelling on the issues of how to mitigate the suffering of the citizens of this country. Sometimes I get surprised that we are bringing politics into an issue like this. You see, there is an issue which I need to coin a name for; whenever you see a Luo MP standing, a Kikuyu MP must stand up. So, there is Kikuyu/Luo animosity which we must not bring to this House. view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I will get out of that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said I want to bring very substantive issues here. One, as a country which is a non-oil producer we must have a strategic policy--- view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to talk about this very important issue. This is the issue of our people suffering. Because we do not--- view
• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know any time I stand here people are afraid and the guilty are more afraid. As a non-oil producing nation we must have a policy so that we can cushion our people. If today Kenya were to go to war, without any strategic reserves, to defend our citizens, we would be a lost nation. I tend to agree with Mr. C. Kilonzo, and I belong to this Government, that if we had no plan to rescue our people, our people are hungry. They are suffering because the Government has no plan. Why do you ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. There is a saying that: “If you see somebody without a smile, give him yours.” This is the opportunity for us to give a smile to girls. view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the integrity of this House will be measured greatly if we pass this Bill. This is because FGM is not of any value. As a military man who took people through very rigorous training, we never saw the difference between a circumcised and an uncircumcised woman. Really, there is no need for women circumcision. Since I became a Member of this House, I have always advocated for the stopping of FGM. If we pass this Bill and it becomes law, we will be in a position to arrest those who will break the law. At the ... view
• 12 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Since I can see that it is an obvious thing and a law which we have been needing for a very long time, I want to stop there so that we can pass this Bill immediately. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 23 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. In the President’s Speech, he laid down quite a number of policy issues which are very important for this country. He dwelt very much on the electoral process and reform process. To me, that is very important. He also brought out some very important challenges facing this country. In his Speech, he highlighted the issue of high inflation rate, high cost of fuel, depreciation of the Kenya shilling, prolonged drought, food shortages, less pastures, especially in the north eastern part of ... view
