  • 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to support the Bill and indicate that this is a negotiated document. A negotiated document is like a two-edged sword – it cuts both ways. That is why you heard Hon. Duale, while moving; making reference to the International Criminal Court (ICC). I remember that at the beginning of that saga, we spoke here and said, “Let us not be vague, let us go to the Hague” and then we came back from The Hague with a crashed egg on our face. Today we are carrying the wheat and chaff because our role in Parliament is both political ... view

  • 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know one of the people consulting is my good friend, Hon. Aghostinho Neto, and I know why. He will have his time. The last time I spoke I said that the elephant in the room is the issue of party-hopping. I want to reiterate what I said then, which I stand for now. In principle, I do not support party- hopping. I wish we had concurrent laws that also promote internal party democracy. We cannot be talking about democracy on one side and taking it away on the other. Democracy must be all- ... view

I need more women in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). I am the ... view
  • 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) appointment, this is part of the wheat and chaff we are picking. I do not like the process which is being used, but we have agreed to support it. I will support it. For records, the Committee said they did not make positive or negative findings on the IEBC. view

  • 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to say that the elephant in the room is the issue of party hopping. We have just come from a very difficult situation, as a country. Only the other day, people demonstrated on the streets and several of them were killed. We have been given the responsibility, as Parliament, to push this country forward. Most of us, especially from the CORD coalition side, had agreed to support the Report without amendment of even a comma or a full stop. However, we have read the mood of the House, ... view
