• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to officially support the Report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that over the years, the various reports of the PAC have proved invaluable to this country in terms of raising the bar of accountability in operations of the Government and its parastatals. Without the queries raised in these forums, this country would never know what actually goes on behind closed doors. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only lamentation I have heard from majority of the hon. Members is about the implementation of the recommendations of ... view
• 18 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: the constituents should first tell them, whether aspirants or sitting hon. Members, to expedite their matters, so that their record is known. How would we expect accountable leadership from those who are not accountable themselves? I think we have got to make up our minds, as a country, as to where we want to go. Then, we shall not stand here and lament. Finally, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, every time there is hiring or firing, especially firing in Government departments, we now have choruses of "tribalism". Yes, hon.

Is it in order for him to try and discuss me without bringing a substantive Motion when then I can have an opportunity to say something about it? view
• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have raised the point that if anybody wants to discuss the conduct of a Minister, he should bring a substantive Motion; he should not dwell on rumour mongering and tarnishing people's names. Could you give direction on that matter? This is just rumour mongering. Any hon. Member can bring a substantive Motion. view
• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I have the substantiation first? view
• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, guided by your ruling, may I demand that the hon. Member substantiates or withdraws and apologises for the allegation that I made a call to stop the swearing in of a person I do not know? Did he mention a Mr. Kirui? view
