• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for protecting the Whip of the Minority Party. When the Member was contributing, he said that he participated in the formation of the East African Community in 1977. That means that he is old. Age has caught up with him, but that is on a light touch. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: The EAC is very important. If we open our borders for trade, we are going to have over 100 million people to do business with. Kenya has everything to benefit from the EAC because we are ahead of the other countries in terms of the economy, industrialisation and other things. There are some countries within the region that belong to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) or the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and do not give the EAC priority. That is why they auction people’s cows and burn chicks. One feels insecure as a Kenyan sometimes ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: labelled “Kenyan Passport”. It is Kenyan, yes, but it is acceptable in the region. That tells us where we are headed and also the vision that the founders of this initiative had. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: As Members of Parliament, we are accountable to the people who elected us. They watch and see what we do and how we perform on behalf of the country in the National Assembly. When these nine members are elected to EALA, they become accountable to themselves. I do not know whether we should amend the regulations or the Act so that they are made accountable to this parent Parliament that elects them. How do we elect people and our mandate ends the day we elect them? They go to EALA and get more salaries and allowances than the Members of ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I end my contribution because my colleagues also have something to say. I am asking for votes for one old man and one young man: Dr. Oburu Odinga and Kennedy Kalonzo, who is taking care of his mother in German. We should vote for those two in the spirit of Kenyan nationhood. Others can follow them. I have their names but will not mention them. They will be voted in secret ballot. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Lastly Hon. Speaker, I would like you to guide us or make a ruling on the dress code of Hon. Otiende Amolo. Make a ruling whether it is the Indian Parliament or the Kenyan Parliament that allows Members to dress like that. You must address that matter. He is dressed like a Member of the Lok Sabha. That is Indian dress code. I do not know if it can be allowed here. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am seated next to my colleague from Suna West and I was trying to tell him not to raise his hand when he wants to contribute. I was not doing it. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I was not doing it myself. I was just inducting him. I support the Motion in spite of the boycott. This is a very important matter. I decided to remain in the House and not resist. The matter of the East African Legislative Assembly is very important. That Parliament has not been sitting because our country did not forward the names of its Members. One thing that might need arbitration or mediation going forward is the number of slots. We understand that my side of the Opposition gets four slots and the Majority Party gets five slots. But the Leader ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: There is a Member who is making noise here who is always dressed in the same attire. I do not know how many suits of that nature he has. Give me time. view
