• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I look at the letter? view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the letter. Could I comment on the same? view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the letter in question was tabled by me in Parliament on 20th June, 2006. Hon. Sirma is not correct to purport to be having a letter which I may have wanted to hide from the public, now that I am not a Minister. When I rose on a point of order to seek the Speaker’s clarification as to the legal position; whether Parliament could conduct investigations parallel to those of view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, unless points of order are going to be criminalized from today, hon. Members rise here with diverse opinions on a matter. I view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If Mr. Sirma would like to bring a Motion on me, let him go ahead and do it, but not stand here and abuse the forum of the House to besmirch my name. I have said that there is nothing that I do which I cannot stand up to. If I had not got these copies of the HANSARD, hon. Musa Sirma would have misled all Kenyans that there is a letter I wrote which is tucked in somewhere when I am the one who brought the letter to the House and ... view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that the House has heard the answer. The Assistant Minister seems to be living in the past.

You will recall that the Kiruki Commission of ... view

• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This Assistant Minister is misleading the House. All these reports were by the Office of the President and not the Ministry of Justice. None of these reports has ever been in the Ministry of Justice. Is he in order to claim that I should have been the one to table them when he knows that the Office of the President refused to make them public and is continuing to defy the Constitution even today? view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that I have read that in the Press and in the Report. If you look at the Report, and this is anticipating debate, you will see those malicious charges by the Committee are merely because I chaired a House Business Committee which declined to allocate Government time to the Report. That does not amount to refusing the matter to be debated. I will be able to talk about it when it is being debated. Today, I am asking for the Report to be laid on the table of the House. When the Report on ... view
• 25 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Sirma has claimed that I wrote a letter stopping the presentation of the Report. I want, under the Standing Orders, to demand that he substantiates by laying that letter here because as a matter of fact there is no such letter. view
