26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Yes, mine is different, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to give myself as an example. I had only two months on 28th October, 2007. I had moved from Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to Kenya Democratic Alliance (Kenda). I had less than two months in Kenda to come back to this House. Since we did not mention in the Political Parties Bill how many days you require to move to another political party, I support this amendment.

24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
I am particularly happy with the dual citizenship, because women are more global than men. Women have no boundaries. Most women get married across the seas. Many of our Kenyan girls who are married to foreigners have greatly suffered because of the issue of citizenship. I remember one day a Kenyan, who is also a Member of this House, depending on the mood of the immigration officer at the port of entry, the husband was denied a visa, and yet he was coming to visit the children. So, this comes as a great relief for the women and more so, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have an issue with Clause 10 which talks about the timeframe and where the committee might not give somebody an investment permit. Here, we are talking about making it easy for investors to come to this country. No timeframe is captured there on how long the appeal should take. Since we are anticipating a very efficient Judiciary, you have given 45 days and 90 days for the committee, but what about the Court of Appeal? It should be maybe 14 days or 30 days, so that an investor will know that his application has ...

23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in supporting this Motion, I have an issue with Clause 115. I am one person who comes from a community which just survived through the teeth of a crocodile or whatever you can call it, because of insecurity. Thanks to the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR). Looking at Clauses 115 they say they shall be given allowances as may be prescribed. Let us be definite. The first month and the second month, they should do something. This is because the KPR, currently, in my constituency work on full time basis. This is why we have peace ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sincerely want to beg this House to support the extension of the term of this Committee, so that they can reach Embobut Forest, where the forgotten GDPs of this country are living. I call them GDPs because they are Government Displaced Persons. They are people who decided to partner with the Government in the conservation of the Cherangany Water Tower. They have not gone there, and I really want them to go there.

8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in 2009, I spent 120 days in Emboput Forest convincing my constituents to move out of the forest so that we can conserve the Cherangany Water Tower. They have been on ten holding grounds and, up to now, they are not fed, their children do not go to school and they are hungry. They have been forgotten by the Government. I am sure Parliamentarians who serve people will not forget them. That is why I beg for the extension so that they may remember my constituents; the forgotten IDPs of this country.
