• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Wathika! There is a point of order by Mr. Dache. view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you for reminding us, Mr. Wathika. That is his maiden speech, Mr. Dache. Please, allow him to continue. view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Order! Order! Mr. Dache, maiden speeches are not supposed to be interrupted through points of order. So, allow the hon. Member to finish his contribution. I will allow you to make your contribution. view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you. Let me consult on that one because, my understanding is that, normally, I should not allow for any interference when an hon. Member is making his maiden speech in this House. I have already ruled that we should not interfere when hon. Members are making their maiden speeches. So, if you could allow that ruling to stand, the hon. Member on the Floor would not have been interfered with. view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Please, take your seat! view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Please, continue, Mr. Wathika! view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, Mr. Shakeel needed clarification on the issue of quorum. I want to apologise that we are not getting the actual exclusion of the issue of quorum when it comes to maiden speeches. So, if the hon. Member would like to raise it again, he is free to do so now. Are you satisfied that we now have quorum? view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: I would like to say that we will do a clear clarification because the exclusion seems to talk of no interruption. If you start your maiden speech with a quorum and it goes down when you are still on the Floor, the fact that you are not supposed to be interfered with supersedes the quorum issue at that time. So, we will clarify and bring it later to the Floor of the House. Since we have only about 30 minutes to go and we have quorum, we will continue. view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Last person to debate. We only have a chance for only one person! Yes, hon. Oburu! view
• 15 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Members for that lively debate. It is now time to interrupt the business of the House. The House stands adjourned until tomorrow, Wednesday, 16th, April 2008 at 9.00 a.m. The House rose at 6 30 p.m. view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to support the Motion for the Adjournment. We need time to go home and reflect. As somebody said, we need time to visit our constituencies. During the International Day of Women, I had an opportunity to visit my constituents, together with my sister from Eldoret South Constituency. I thank God and the people of Eldoret East Constituency for giving me an opportunity to serve them in this august House, although we were greeted with fire just after we were elected. I had an opportunity to visit all ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: So, I bring congratulations from the ACP-EU Parliament. We were even impressed further that the President himself, in his Speech, recognised that our Speaker is a very neutral person and commended the National Assembly for electing such a Speaker at a time like this. Those are things that we need to reflect as we go for recess. We need to go and ask ourselves a few questions. One of the things that I really want to say is that the road to peace and reconciliation is a very long route and we must all go through it. Thank you. view
