• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for hon. Junet to mislead this House that the only way a State officer or a member of the public can show patriotism is by displaying a flag on his car? Is it in order for him to say that when we know that there are so many other ways like carrying the flag on one’s head or shoulders? When we put the flag on the car, it is a symbol of authority. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to strongly support this amendment proposed by the chairman of The National Alliance (TNA) party, hon. Sakaja. He, being a youth, is a clear indication that we have capable youths in our country who are able to make things move and who are able to make changes in our country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I read somewhere that when a hunter learns how to shoot without missing, the bird should learn how to fly without perching. The people who are involved in procurement have learnt how to run away from regulations ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: each can be tendered as a separate contract. What the procurement entities do is to put all those activities as one tender, thereby minimising the number of participants who can be able to participate in those tenders. If we want to help our youth grow and to build our local companies, we must make laws that will make sure that the procuring entities will unbundle these projects so that our companies can grow. The other problem is the experience that they require. We know our youth do not have experience. Hon. Sakaja would not have been the chairman of the ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I support, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill which is 50 years overdue. If this Bill was passed after we got our independence - which we got after the struggle that was made by our heroes - we would have selected and identified those who fought and sacrificed their lives and time to make sure that we got independence as a nation. This is an important Bill because it gives us an avenue to identify people who sacrificed their time, energy and effort on behalf of this country. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are many people who deserve to be identified as heroes in this country, and who have not been identified. I know of the late Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi who died while fighting for our independence. His body is still “jailed” in Kamiti Maximum Prison. We have not even had time to identify his grave so that we can give him a hero’s burial that he deserves. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: We have talked about Kenneth Matiba and other people who worked very hard and risked their lives for the second liberation of this country that we are enjoying today. Those are the people who are supposed to be awarded those honours. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Many scientific discoveries have been made in this country. We have had breakthroughs in HIV/AIDS research that has been done in this country by heroes who are scientists and doctors. They have done very well. Those are people we are supposed to identify and award as our heroes. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even the Mpesa concept was discovered here in Kenya by our own youth. Those are the heroes we should identify. This Bill creates the Heroes Council which will be used to identify the heroes. I would like to echo the remarks of hon. Wandayi Opiyo who said that the appointment of members to the Council should get approval from this House. We should vet the members of that Council to ensure that they are credible and they will not award honours to their relatives. We need members who understand what it takes to run the Council. ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Bill also ensures that there is public participation in the identification of heroes. This is very important because if we do not include that in this Bill, the public will feel left out. Last week in the newspapers, there was an advert where the Inspector-General of Police had invited public opinion with regard to the vetting of police officers. This has made them to have butterflies in their stomachs. That is because if they have been corrupt, the public will come out and disclose the activities that they have been engaging in. So, when we include public participation in ... view
