• 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I did not know that it died after the Chair left. But the point is that it is very sad history that such a party, which had received national outlook, collapsed just like that. In the same manner FORD Kenya suffered immensely when Jaramogi was no longer living. There was a fight between Jaramogi’s son and Wamalwa. Wamalwa won in Thika and we all know that. He tried his best to also run this party and when he joined NARC, we did not know whether or not it was corporate. The party started dwindling down. The ... view
• 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the point is that in those initial days that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is talking about, if you look at Lincoln, they moved from the Republican, then to Democrats and so on. Those were the fluid days of the American democracy. Kenyans are now saying 50 years down the line, we are now maturing by giving ourselves a new Constitution that wants to create a greater foundation for political parties being owned by members. I am saying this with immense respect knowing that I am a Member of one of the youngest political parties in this country, ... view
• 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the fact that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has confessed that some of our members continue to marry and others got married the other day, is a continuation of those family values.

Muthama’s assertion that URP is a party of one region. Such an assertion should not come from a ... view

• 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: That should not come from Sen. Muthama. He should be the last person to say that because he belongs to a party that was called ODM-(K) the other day, then they painted it and put an umbrella on it and called it Wiper Party of Kenya but it wipes only from Kitui to Machakos and not the rest of the country.

• 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Not yet, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wanted to say that to grow these political parties, the members must start feeling the ownership. In fact, I was asking myself the other day; how come that the last time I wore the regalia of URP was the last day of elections and I have not worn it since then? We need to grow that culture where you can actually even come with a suit in this House which is well done, respecting the Standing Orders but which is propagating your political party. This is because we must be proud of the ... view
