• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill and echo the point that hon. Millie Odhiambo had suggested in terms of procedure when we have so many substantial changes. The spirit and the direction in which we are going to digitalise and revolutionise the economy and making business systems in this country is all good. We might help and actually do a whole new Bill and repeal the old one. Be that as it may, I want to support the Bill. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have re-considered my position. I do not want information from him. I want action. The matter is--- view

• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Junet, please, the children of Migori are out of school. How do you feel about that and how can we invest in fantastic practical financial futures market that we cannot justify? view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice to the debate on the work between the different branches of the Government, Parliament’s role and how to balance all that. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Do not be allergic to education. I am a teacher and I am willing to educate you. Do not be allergic to education; you will serve this nation better. Since this matter is too touchy, let me give you a better example. If we find President Uhuru or Ruto going on and he has a minority in this House, he can still rule this country. But his people in Parliament would have to really lobby the other people. It is not as easy as when you have a united Government or a united ruling coalition where the powers at State ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Oh! I gladly withdraw the word “stupid”. I actually said, “Kenyans are not stupid.” But I withdraw that word and replace it with the words “Kenyans are very intelligent and wise” and they will elect their leaders in ways that serve their interests, even if in their wisdom they decide to give us discordant leadership. This is particularly important today. I want my brothers and sisters in Jubilee to listen; Kenyans are very wise; elections have consequences and despite interference and warning from any other quarters--- view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Okay, let me address the issue. The issue is to say that we, the hon. Members of this House, represent very wise Kenyans who granted us the power to represent them and who granted us a President in State House. So, we should not have any worry about it. They will listen and decide to vote for us. So, let us keep the system as it is and let us go out and campaign in the future to change the Government and influence the size of the House or anything like that. Thank you. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to comment on this Motion with a few concerns. The first one is that the Motion’s goal is very valuable to see how we should manage our rivers and water resources. We should be thinking of turning them into benefits for our country in terms of energy, for example, cheap and affordable electricity that could be added onto our grid system. We have to make sure that the waters of the rivers do not damage property downstream. This means that we should have a mechanism in place to compensate the affected communities. My biggest ... view
