• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While respecting your ruling, I just wish to remind the House that I had sought for these reports sometime last year when you ruled that you had no power to compel the Executive. Now, there is the Constitution with which you could have compelled the Executive. I seek your direction; will questions of this Parliament be henceforth addressed to the courts of law where now I have been referred to go and seek direction? In the three arms of Government, Parliament is supreme. Are we going to henceforth direct questions of this ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not think that we need any Member to advocate for another here. Let whoever wants to view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise in support of this Report, but with reservations. I will express the reservations. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I, as a Government Minister at that time, did express my outrage at The Standard raid. It is not something that could have been supported by anybody who respects the rule of law and democracy. I did make a statement that morning, when launching a function of the Anti-corruption Campaign Steering Committee, then headed by hon. Mutava Musyimi. I said that the culprits should be prosecuted. The Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs was not ... view

• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. This report is not about me. There is a sense where hon. Members are trying to go outside the debate. Even in the recommendations, there is not a single one on me. I ask the Chair to use the rules of the House. Do not make me a subject of debate. If any hon. Member wants to debate me, I dare you to bring a Motion and I will deal with you! view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. What responsibility am I being asked to take? Is it for raising a point of order in Parliament and tabling a letter? Anybody who thinks retrogressively, must again be told, that this debate is not about Ms. Karua. It is about the Artur brothers. There is not a single recommendation, for the simple reason, that raising a point of order is a noble duty of any Member of Parliament who feels strongly that there is something wrong with the order. Rulings belong to the Chair. Anybody who attempts to lay blame ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think there is an orchestrated effort by a clique of persons or by a political party. Let us say that this is politics, because you must check who are articulating this. I am the one who stood in this House long before hon. Imanyara, to demand the Kiruki Report on the Artur brothers. The Speaker is yet to rule on it. It is true that the Committee accused me of obstruction. It is not borne by evidence. Throughout the Report, the Committee never summoned me although it has power to ... view
• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, just check it. It is the same political party Members who are on their feet. Is it in order for party politics to be brought into the House? view

• 8 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have no quarrel. I also discussed the report in its entirety but to try to make as though there is a recommendation against Martha Karua is dishonesty. view
