• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: come before the House. They were saying we make room for CSs not to appear before us. Why? It is because there is a presumption that they are superior to us. There is nothing that can be further from the truth. If you look at the legislative history of the Constitution… I sat in Naivasha and I know many of us were very opposed to the presidential system. It is better when your colleagues come here as CSs. If you have an issue disturbing you in your constituency, you deal with your CS directly. The only reason we agreed to ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Brother, I can see you are looking at me. Never lose sight of that. I have no apologies of making this statement because I listen to the constituency called Suba North. On the issues of salaries, people always ask me: “Why are you so confident of saying we need salaries?” It is because I have asked the people of Suba North and they know how much money I give and how much I am taxed as an MP. They told me to come and ask for more salary and I came back to ask for more salary to serve the ... view

• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even though I am very happy with Hon. Washiali when he is using indigenous plants of medicinal value, is he in order not to engender even such a process? When you are talking about omukombera that enhances certain functions in men, can you also find a view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: which enhances some functions in women? This is because otherwise you are very discriminative of women. If you do not have, you must ask your elders to go to the forest and look for a plant that has similar qualities for women. Otherwise, that is totally unconstitutional and gender insensitive because the Constitution now talks about equality. Is he in order to bring to us things which are unconstitutional? view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion of amendment. The reason I support this Motion is that I have listened to the committee very carefully. One of the issues they are raising against Mr. Kinyua is conflict of interest. They are urging that they should be investigated for possible conflict of interest. He has already declared a conflict of interest. So, what is there to investigate? If I have declared that I am Millie Odhiambo, will you want to investigate if I am David Omollo? What is there to investigate further? Unless I actually appear ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: say people must declare their interest so that any activity that one undertakes can be seen within that framework. Unless you tell us how the suspension of the officers you have referred to are connected to the restaurant that is owned by the wife, I do not see any conflict of interest. I do not see how conflict of interest affects his work. Declaring conflict of interest in itself is not a crime. In fact, that is a person that should be congratulated. Many Kenyans do not declare conflict of interest. I even tell people in my NG-CDF office that ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, I am very concerned by what the Chairman of the committee has raised. I think the committee was caught up in the internal politics of KFS. We need to relook the mandate of the committee. I do not know the mandate of the committee includes stretching to how you relate to the CS. I do not think you need to victimise somebody because you think the CS told him to do XYZ. I would equate your reaction to responding to a mosquito bite with a hammer blow. This is somebody’s career, unless there is a hidden reason. While you ... view
