• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, perhaps, I will repeat what I have said before. I said that before you pull down a fence, ask yourself why it was put up in view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: the first place. We are very keen here talking about bringing in a new Constitution. I am not going to be the one to say we should not. But let us first ask ourselves: Do we believe and think that by simply saying that there is a new Constitution in place, we will solve our problems? I think the first thing all of us should ask, including the President, is: Why are we not complying with the current Constitution and the laws that are there? Why are we still boarding an overloaded matatu and yet, there is a law that ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: do you give to the Ministry of Industrialisation? It is shameful! It cannot do what you want it to do. Why is the Ministry of Agriculture not talking about processing and adding value? I was very sad today when I listened to the Minister for Co-operatives Development and Marketing in respect of milk being poured and yet, it is something that we can export. It is something that we are able to distribute within the country. There are areas which lack milk and there are areas which have over-production. If you have proper infrastructure, you can distribute the milk within ... view
• 2 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: anything? All this is happening and yet we think the solution is having a new Constitution. It is not. It is one thing because at least, we will change our mindset to start thinking afresh. When you are thinking about it, ask yourself when you will have a governor, senator, four or five MPs, or a woman elected across the county, just imagine when they get home, how they will function. Who will be competing for the CDF and county funds? These are things that we have to be very careful about. I have gone out to check what made ... view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion moved by Ms. Odhiambo under this particular Standing Order. I have all the literature that we are required to have gone through, since yesterday, and approve. I would love to approve it, but I have to go through the document and understand the consequences of approving it; to both the country and the people I represent. So, we need time to study these view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Vice- Chairman hardly tabled their report on whatever meetings they had. Can we just take it from his word that they have a report which we have not seen? view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us make it abundantly clear that nobody is opposing the Motion by the Minister. We are only saying that we want time to study, understand and support it. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was also present yesterday and the Chair ruled that you could not amend this Motion or the Sessional Paper itself. That ruling has not been vacated. So, how is my good friend purporting to amend the Motion when there is a clear ruling that you cannot amend this Motion? view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the amendment as proposed by Dr. Khalwale, simply because, indeed, that now takes care of the interest of Kenyans that, we are not signing a blank cheque to any Minister or any Government. With that proposed amendment, I will go further and urge the Minister, in the spirit of what we have achieved since yesterday through to today, to actually table the agreement, once it is signed, so that it is not one of those things which slips away and becomes part of the bureaucracy. With those very few remarks, I ... view
