• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. What happened today in Nairobi is very shameful and it must be condemned in the strongest terms possible. This was a sabotage of Kenya’s biggest economy. These failures you are seeing today are failures that have been carried over and over by successive governments. The Government is unable to provide a proper public transport system for this country. If that transport system was in place, we would not find ourselves where we are today. I would like to ask hon. Members to desist from attacking the late hon. Thuo. Those ramshackles would be of ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: not blame the Governor of the City. He is doing his best to make sure that this City runs smoothly and very well. I do not see why the slap he did the other time is coming to play now. As the Swahili say: “ Ukishika sehemu nyeti lazima utakula makofi .” It was his self defence, so let us not use that to tarnish his name. The Governor should not be intimidated by these industries. The matatu industry is run by goons in this country and especially in this City. If they have any issue to discuss with the ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. The matter brought by the Leader of the Majority Party is very weighty. It cuts across and it is a very important matter for this country. The excesses of the county governments and governors cannot be over-emphasized. It is something that has been seen by all Kenyans. It is very clear that the governors have decided not to use the public resources as they were meant to be. These are people who are creating their own kingdoms and fiefdoms; it is very important that public funds are safeguarded. Public ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: the other arms of Government. I do not think it will be fair. I can say that it will be insane for any court to issue a court order barring Parliament from conducting its business, otherwise, Parliament will be rendered useless and will have to close down. If somebody goes to court, gets an order saying that Parliament cannot conduct this and that business, that will be utmost impunity in this country. One thing that I wanted to say is that the issue of the Senate auditing the county funds, as long as they are part of Parliament--- If you ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Most obliged, hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I stand guided, hon. Speaker. Most obliged. I was also bringing out the issue that people go to the Constitutional Court to seek interpretation of certain laws or Articles of the Constitution. However, that does not mean that the court should act in vain. The court must act in a way that makes things possible or work out. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The courts must exercise restraint to make sure that other arms of the Government also function. It must act in consultation as much as there is separation of powers. Consultation between the three arms of the Government is very important. As part of the implementation of the new Constitution, there are many gray areas that people have not yet understood how they are supposed to be done or implemented. That is why you are seeing many cases being filed at the Constitutional Court. They do this to seek the interpretation of the Constitution. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I thank you very much. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to support the Bill concerning the Law Society of Kenya. It is a very important Bill for this country. It is going to guide one of the most important professions in our country. This is a profession that is growing in big numbers at the moment and it is very important for it to be regulated. As you are aware, the profession has the good side of it and the bad side of it. It has the good side that it defends justice for Kenyans who have been faced by injustices and also it has ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. You know this House is made of two coalitions namely, Jubilee and CORD and the sitting arrangement has been done and labels have been put. Is it in order for a Jubilee Member to sit on the Leader of Minority’s seat and purport that he is representing the other coalition? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need your guidance and ruling on that. I have come to protect our tuff in this House. view
