• 29 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Most obliged. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 56 of 2021) up to clause 7 and approved the same with amendments, and seeks leave to sit again. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I must confess I was not putting my head into this, but I heard certain things being mentioned and I happen to be an authority in them. The gracious lady moving this amendment, is a person I hold in very high esteem. The word ‘ mwongozo’ has never been defined in law. So, when there are references to it giving it some type of activity, is in contrast to written law. Would the Vice-Chairperson explain the term ‘ mwongozo’ and is it in tandem with the rest of the books of law? view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: On delegated legislation and regulatory making. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, where was his boss when the “People’s President” was being sworn in? Where was he? Was he in that congregation? He should not take lightly some of these things. We have worked for this country with pain and blood. He should know that. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I asked this issue of Mwongozo to the Chairperson, and the Leader of the Majority Party rose to explain, but I do not know whether he got the substance. I think he did.

• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the issue of the EACC is very important. I do not want to make it more important than the Waqf Bill, but issues of anti- corruption are very important in this country. We are not going to approve people here just because we do not have time or have appetite for other work that seems to be more appealing than this debate. I am concerned… view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me just also tell the House that it would not be proper not to hear from the Chair. In the absence of the Member for Kangema, I happen to be the Chair of this Committee. So, hear it from me. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I delegated that responsibility. This is the only Committee that has understood that we are all competent. Therefore, we delegate functions to all Members because we are all equal. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee should be congratulated for processing these nominees within a day because we were able to hold the hearings and make up our minds in the Committee. Committees charged with selection after hearing from the people who appear before them should make up their minds on the spot, even before a report is written, whether or not a person passes the ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, they know themselves; what in other quarters I would have called “the usual suspects”. It is not in order for Members to be between you and the speaker, but they have rectified. So, I will let it be. view
