• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I want to encourage the House that it is good practice that we let hon. Members speak, whether they are opposing or supporting us. I have been sitting here the whole afternoon and I am dismayed--- view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I think the Leader of the Majority Party distracted you. I was not actually talking about you. If you listen to me, what you are speaking to is not what I am saying. So, I will still repeat it for the hon. Members of the House. Hon. Speaker, I want to also congratulate the hon. Members of the House because for the first time this afternoon I have seen several women hon. Members as chairs of committees; I want to thank the 11th Parliament because for the first time we have the highest number of women ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, I want to congratulate the various committees for selecting women as chairs of their committees, especially in this 11th Parliament. Nonetheless, I want to say that we have not yet reached the one-third mark, and I would want to encourage the House that we hit the mark. Again, I want to say that I am very happy with the number of women who have been appointed Principal Secretaries. I want to say that because we have done so badly view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for this Report. Even though I want to thank them largely for most of the things they have provided for, I am not happy with one item. I want to indicate that this year, I am not very happy with the Treasury, especially with regard to the way they handled the Budget. They did not follow the standards that we had set under the fiscal reforms in the last Parliament. The Budget was done in a very haphazard manner. We ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: increasing their salaries. There are more urgent and pertinent issues in this country than laptop computers. I thought the Committee would have been brave enough to scrap off the provision for laptops altogether. The Equalisation Fund is provided for in the Constitution to ensure that marginalised areas are brought to par with the rest of the country. Unfortunately, the way this issue has been handled, in the last Parliament, is not proper. I am glad that the Budget and Appropriations Committee has singled out this issue. I hope that this matter will not come up again in the next Budget, ... view

• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As much as I appreciate the Member for Kibra, and his very good contribution, I know we are still in the process of learning, but is he in order to violate the rules of relevancy? We are talking about roads. Indeed, even if he wants to infuse all these Mau Mau issues, he can find a way of cleverly making an issue of roads and infusing it instead of bringing totally unrelated issue. Is he in order? view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion. I would like to note that we did not necessarily need to decrease--- My understanding is that this should be going on until next week. Because of inequalities that we have seen in this country, there are areas that are more developed than others. There are areas that have more than they need. My constituency does not have any tarmac. We have had an allocation for a tarmacked road which has been tarmacked in patches. There are cows and goats there and even grass is growing on parts of ... view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order hon. Deputy Speaker. The Tenth Parliament has been accused time and again even in this House of having rushed reports and, sometimes, I have heard when hon. Members here from the Tenth Parliament are shut down on the basis that they were part of making certain reports or passing certain laws. Therefore, we are precluded from raising issues about them. view
