• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, give me an opportunity to contribute. I will take less than two minutes. I want to support and acknowledge that litigation and processes of questioning public tendering are quite in order. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, litigation and questioning public procurement is a legal process and it is accepted. It is important that we appreciate that competition particularly in a nascent democracy like ours, particularly in the area of business, will always raise certain issues both mainstream and sideshows. We should be careful not to criminalize or dismiss those processes. However, I want to make two points. First, is to endorse the clarion call by those who have spoken before me. As we endorse those reports, we should as well be very emphatic that variations have been abused and have become the ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: We need nearly a million jobs created just in the informal sector. We need to dismantle the old infrastructure in the water sector and pipeline in the soonest and swiftest way possible so that we can put on platform, the mechanism and infrastructure. Our ideas need to be put into practice so that we can jump-start this economy and we do not get stagnated in bureaucracies. Have you not received a report this morning hon. Speaker that the terrorism that took place in Garissa despite many denials was because some people received intelligence reports but did not act on it? ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, even as we complain that politicians are given a chance to work, I want to remind this House and the country that Madam Linda Chalker was recalled by the United Kingdom British Government in order to enrich their regime. Hillary Clinton the lead candidate in the Democratic Party and, indeed, John Kerry, the serving United States of America (USA) Secretary of State, were politicians and they competed. Therefore, we need not criminalize the political class. If you do a survey of this House, you will find that many of us have had a history in professionalism before coming here. ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: That is why some of us last week stood firm and refused to endorse mob justice and clarion calls just because some people wanted to dismantle the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). We do not just need to vote one way. Sometimes, it is important to stand in the middle. So, when you are making objective perceptions and observations even in Parliament or in our offices, it is not because we are condemning a certain sector or class. It is because we need to ventilate and vet intellectually in order to give a way that is positive. I support ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are one nation and one country. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Hon. Kajuju has said exactly what I wanted to say. Therefore, there is no need to repeat. It is Hon.Gladys Wanga. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I would like to laud and thank the Speakers panel. By and large, all of you, sitting in the Chair, have moderated this Session very well. It is important that we acknowledge and recognise that contribution. Secondly, going by the mood of the House in the past few weeks and today, it is clear that all of us in this House should shed off the grandstanding attitude that has characterised the Eleventh Parliament. Whether one is in Jubilee or in CORD, it is important that we consult. It is also important to consult ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thirdly, we do not want melodrama, acrobatics and sarakasis on issues to do with terrorism on social media; mainly on Twitter and on Facebook. The fact is that the AlShabaab terror group are evil and murderous. Let the entire leadership of this country take responsibility. People should stop shifting blame. Terrorist attacks are happening and we are burying people. As an hon. Member said, the fact is that terrorists have a target, and that target is known. Members of the Christian faith are very concerned, and we know that we are on the edge. Finally, we must respect the Constitution. ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to make a different observation on the same. Number one, we should not be condemning any Member in his or her absence irrespective of whether the matter is listed or not. That would be condemning somebody and yet there is no substantive Motion on that. This is an administrative matter and it falls on two platforms: Number one is the House administration. The House has qualified administration bureaucrats who should ensure that, when matters are listed, they prompt Members that their matters are appearing on the Order Paper. Sometimes it happens ... view
