• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have just made a ruling in which you anxiously heard us both on law and facts. You have made a decision. The only thing which is commendable is that you have returned us to sanity as a House of procedure. You swore to protect the Constitution. You have not only protected the Constitution but the Standing Orders of this House. When the Chair of a Committee, in which I am a ranking Member, rises on a Motion which is before the House and a matter which is not his as Cheptumo, but as the Chair of the ... view

• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: I may not be very familiar with this, but I am sure the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is more familiar. In the clause that we have just passed, was there not some amendment in the IEBC Act or something like that that brought down this number from 700 to 500? Would there be a conflict in law the way Clause 38A is worded? It is just for clarification. I am not very conversant with the position of the law right now. view

• 25 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I want to salute the important ladies of Ruaraka who made it possible for me to come to this House. I salute all the ladies of this country that have made these gallant men be what they are today. We have for a long time debated this issue of affirmative action. I am delighted to support this Bill. However, it has come at a time when we thought we will lose the war of two- thirds gender rule. It took ladies of this country such a long time to fight for it. In the middle of all the confusion and ... view

I want to urge my sisters and men in this House to be men enough. You cannot argue all over every time without giving a solution. You have talked a lot. The men have said what they have to say, but now it is time to act. We must get something to go home with. We must get something around which we can put a legislative proposal to get us where ... view
