• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: products to Devani is called Peter Mecha. You have never seen the picture of Peter Mecha in the Press. You have never heard his name mentioned in this House. Mr. Kiraitu Murungi who was far away and does not even know this Indian or Peter Mecha in person, is the one who is in the newspapers and on television every evening, because of political responsibility. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, somebody somewhere has sat down and planned that, this Mr. Samoei, is becoming too powerful, growing horns and, therefore, it is time for him to go, and the route for him to go is through this Motion. Let the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the KACC investigate. If Mr. Samoei is found to be guilty, let him go to jail. But it is not our business as politicians to be used, through this nebulous concept of political responsibility, to sack him from the Cabinet. I am not going to support that. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think time has come for us, as this House, to stand firmly and refuse to be used. I would ask my friend, the bull fighter, the old question for whom the bell tolls. That time, the bell tolled for Kiraitu Murungi. Akaenda nyumbani na akarudi. The bell then tolled for Mr. Amos Kimunya. Akaenda nyumbani na akarudi. Now, the bell is being rang for Mr. William Samoei Ruto. He might go or not. But I want to tell hon. Dr. Khalwale: Never ask for whom the bell tolls, because it might be tolling for you. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Time has come for us to stand firmly in defence of the Constitution, justice and the rule of law. Let this Parliament not convert itself into a criminal investigation agency, or court of law for sentencing people, to be sacked from the Cabinet. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I can tell you that it is a very painful process from my own personal experience, when you sit down for breakfast with your children in the morning, and they are reading the newspapers and asking you: "Daddy, have you stolen Kshs7.6 billion?" It is a very painful process that you have to account to your friends every time you go for a drink. They ask you: "Mheshimiwa, hii pesa yote ya Anglo Leasing imeenda wapi? view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a more painful process than even going to Kamiti. I would not like any Member of Parliament, whether he is from PNU or ODM, my friend or enemy, to be subjected to that process. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: In the United States, they used to call it McCarthyism. You remember Senator McCarthy. If he mentioned somebody's name, he lost the job and was in misery forever. We are appealing to our friend, Dr. Khalwale, that, please, do not be the McCarthy of Kenya; that if Dr. Khalwale mentions your name, you are finished. Mr. Kimunya can tell you from his experience. Let you not earn the reputation of being the McCarthy of Kenya. view
• 18 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Let us go for the rule of law and strict proof by facts and not rumours. We are unable to fight corruption because we have converted corruption into a blunt political instrument for beating down opponents and destroying the careers of those you do not like. We are not seriously fighting corruption. The Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, should tell us, instead of complaining in the Press, what practical steps she is taking to fight corruption. view
