• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Speaker but also our Deputy Speaker and the same with the office of the Chief Justice and his deputy. Hon. Speaker, I think I would also want to encourage that because we also honour our officers. When they travel we want to bestow on them the authority that they have as servants.

Just over the weekend I was travelling on Economy Class to Kisumu and I sat next to a member of the public. He ... view

• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. When you directed me I sat very faithfully and quietly. The main issue that I wanted to raise had to do with something hon. Shebesh had raised. I had no way of knowing that it was linked to what hon. David Ochieng said. That is why I was insistent. Thank you nonetheless for giving me this opportunity. Now that the debate has been opened, I want to agree with hon. Gethinji to some extent that in terms of our oversight role it is concurrent especially if you situate it within the ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I am also a little concerned about what hon. Gethinji is talking about in relation to media coverage. I think we cannot gag the media.

• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want the Leader of Majority Party to clarify two things. One, he said that the Media Council Bill will pass in whatever form. Even though we have a short period, I do not know whether it is in order for this House to pass the Bill in whatever form. Could the Leader of Majority Party clarify that he will ask the relevant Committee and Members to put in a lot more time so that we do not pass the Bill in whatever form view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think you have heard hon. Leader of Majority Party consistently say that Kenya is a sovereign country and China is a sovereign country and yet, he is consistently giving figures in US dollars.
