• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek the indulgence of the Member for Yatta regarding this Question because my office is desperately trying to work out a proper answer. I want to be able to stand here and assure this House and particularly assure the residents of Yatta that their security is guaranteed along the lines that hon. C. Kilonzo seeks. view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to make a statement regarding the health of the Right Honourable Prime Minister, hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. I would appreciate if I could be heard in silence. That is because this is a matter that is important to the House. This Statement should have been made yesterday because the House was rightly concerned about what had befallen the Right Honourable Prime Minister. I think it is hon. Ojode who undertook to have the Government to respond on this matter. I am aware that the honourable Minister of State for Provincial Administration and ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: him on medication and recommended complete bed rest for a few days, during which period he was to be confined in hospital. Further tests were done to determine the cause of the headache that the Prime Minister was feeling. Late in the night, doctors detected that there was an unusual build up of pressure outside the brain and that was the cause of the headache. At this point, the Prime Minister told doctors that he could remember hitting his head against the roof of his car a few weeks earlier, but he never thought that it was a serious issue. ... view
• 1 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a team of doctors got together and agreed that it was necessary to carry out a minor procedure on the left side of the head to relieve the said pressure. This was done successfully. The Prime Minister has done well since that procedure. He is very well. Both the headache and the exhaustion are happily gone. As of yesterday and it is all over the media, the Prime Minister was receiving well wishers, he took walks within the hospital and he was able to do some exercises. Doctors have, however, recommended that he remains in hospital ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, further to the contribution by the hon. Member for Chepalungu, in my own mind, it is clear that if we are to strictly construe the provisions of Section 47(A) as amended, which governs conduct of this present exercise, you will have to ascertain whether as presently assembled we do constitute the quorum. The quorum is 145. In the event that this Motion is negatived, then you will have to ascertain whether, indeed, we had 145 Members. That is my own interpretation. This is a Motion that is specifically governed by the Constitution as amended. I, therefore, must ... view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the Floor. I intend to be very brief. Allow me to congratulate this House, more particularly the Parliamentary Select Committee on Constitution Review (PSC). All of us are, indeed, very proud of the membership of that Committee that we put together. We are also proud of the able presentation by the Chairman, hon. Abdikadir and the Deputy, hon. Namwamba. They put up a very strong case for us to be able to now deal with this draft as it is. I wish also to congratulate Mr. Speaker, for showing leadership. Indeed, ... view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. In the first instance, I would like to congratulate this House. I am on record as saying that we do as we sincerely believe we do in the supremacy of this institution. It behooves us to be able to speak with one voice. When occasion provides itself, we debate and disagree on the Floor of the House. But a time comes when we have to really, as far as is practicable, speak with one voice. I think this is one such time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in ... view
• 16 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I want to thank Members of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on the constitution, our own Committee, which was able to meet and agree under very interesting circumstances. Again, to get political agreement is never easy when it comes to constitution-making. I think that spirit should have been replicated even at the level of the Committee of Experts; I think by now we would be looking forward to the referendum. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even the idea of having a stepping aside or retreat time came from the chair, and I also want to congratulate you. You have the best interests ... view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to join my colleagues in thanking His Excellency the President for the Exposition of Public Policy that he enunciated during the inauguration of this Fourth Session of the Tenth Parliament. I want to agree with the President that this Tenth Parliament has the greatest opportunity of delivering in real terms, the very kind of positive change that Kenyans have been yerning for. Therefore, I want to urge that we seize the moment. The President referred to his long history as Member for Othaya spanning close to half a ... view
• 4 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is right. I stand corrected for that information. He started as a Member for Bahati and then Othaya. He has been a Member of Parliament for 47 years. This is nearly half a century. He said that the Tenth Parliament has a singular opportunity of delivering positive change more than all the others. I joined in the Fifth Parliament. Next month, God willing, I will be accomplishing a quarter of a century in this House. I want to agree that we can put our act together, for once, and deliver in a very solid ... view
