• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I have not spoken for even a minute. Stop doing that. Why are you rigging people? To finish... view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: No, I can see rigging going on here. It is rigging. If we can do rigging inside Parliament, what do you think we can do outside there? view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: This issue squarely lies within the NLC. This beating around the bush that so-and-so did it is bad. If an accounting officer requested for money from the National Treasury, he requested to pay on recommendations that were given by the NLC. Why are we trying to insulate people who have stolen Kshs4 billion from public coffers? Matiang’i has no role in this matter. I do not see the officials of the ministries. I want this matter to lie squarely on the head of the NLC. Lastly, you know there are many independent commissions in this country and they have failed ... view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion brought by the Member. It is painful that somebody in this country is judged guilty before he even takes plea in court, in the public opinion. This issue of denying people bail or bond is very painful because I went through it. I was detained in Pangani Police Station for five good days for no reason. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We were taken to court and the court was told not to give us bail by the prosecutors. We just stayed there for no reason. I agree with what Hon. Kimunya has said. It looks like we are going back to the dark old days where the division between different arms of government was not known. One arm of government can give directives to the other arm of government without due regard to the laws. In the modern society, if you have seen any criminal offence committed by, for example, Hon. Arama, there is no harm in telling him to ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Petition which has been brought by Hon. Jude Njomo. This issue of Tatu Estate and Kofinaf Company Limited has been ongoing for the last four years. The issue of land in this country needs to be discussed in this House as a matter of national importance; like the way we discussed sugar. The biggest problem which this country faces is land. It is a big issue. The way Hon. Ichung’wah talked confirmed to me that he is not the son of a homeguard, but a peasant. He did not talk like ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I agree with the Member that even though those matters are before the courts and investigatory agencies of the Government, this House has a role to play to maintain the sanctity of ownership of land in this country. It is not the courts only that should do that. We represent the interest of the people of this country. So, if peasant farmers are deprived of their rights in Kiambu County, the same thing will happen to peasant farmers in Migori. I support the Petition. Anybody who has lengthy contribution to make like Hon. Ichung’wah should appear before the Committee. We ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I have an issue to raise on a point of order. I want to raise an issue that I want to address to you as the Speaker and the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC); an issue that is of great importance to the House. Under the Constitution, there is the doctrine of separation of powers, where we have three arms of the Government - the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. It is very dangerous when one arm of the Government decides or intends to overlap the other arm of Government. I am privy - not reliably ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: serious matter of contraband sugar that is before them. What happens if owners of that sugar go to court tomorrow and get orders stopping the committees from investigating? Is that the kind of Parliament that this country wants to have under this Constitution? We must tell the Judiciary, in no uncertain terms, that they are intruding into other arms of government’s business. It is our responsibility as Members of this House to protect and defend authorities that have been conferred by the Constitution to this House. And we derive our authority from the people. It is in the Constitution. We ... view
