• 17 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. A lot has been said about the membership and how competent they are. I, therefore, support the Members as they are. I want to speak to Kenyans especially the political class. Kenyans have never missed competent people to be brought into office. We always bring them down immediately. We do it for political reasons. Kenyans must stand up and support these able Kenyans. Therefore, we should stop rubbishing each other. Elections in Africa are the things that bring down countries. Without our support to the electoral Commission, we are ... view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment. My initial interjection was to support the Member from Turkana. As the pastoralist community, we feel the amendments as they are on the Table or prepared are not adequate. We are really asking that we push this to next week. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to support the amendment. The PSC is envisaged as an independent body, and whether individuals within the PSC behave otherwise, does not mean it is not independent. We want to strengthen institutions. Recently, the long process of constituting the vetting and recruitment committees delayed a lot of things. The earlier we go away from them and move to a very well-known commission that is independent - like the recruiting agency - the better. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker and the Chief Whip. I would like to thank the President for an excellent Speech. I am sure I could say many things to challenge some particular issues but I am so happy that the President touched on two things that are fundamental to the existence of a country. One is national cohesion. People talk of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: security being a problem. If we have one single major security problem, it is because of the poor cohesion in our country. Therefore, by giving the way forward for national cohesion and asking Kenyans to unite, the President has done great. On the apology that he gave for all the past governments‘ mistakes, that is a great thing that has happened. An apology means ―never again‖. On corruption, the thing that is going to bring us down is the EACC. We need urgently to reconstitute the EACC and the commissioners who exist should resign like their colleague. Politics is at ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity. I want to support this amendment. Droughts have been a major feature in this country for a long time. This particular amendment wants to bring discipline particularly on the money side. Therefore, when we have this National Drought Management Authority working for some time, I am sure droughts do not have to become emergencies at all. I support. view
• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I just want to contribute to this debate which is very good, so that we can know where this came from. A whole committee of this House went round and came up with a law which this House passed. The letter is very clear. If you are not soliciting or not doing what the letter is saying, you are not being told not to give. Nobody stops anybody from giving. So, when a constitutional commission created by this House is doing its work, it is wrong in my view to say that the ink used in ... view
• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there was a time in this country you could not get an identification card (ID). You had a Harambee book at the door. There was also a time you could not see your Member of Parliament without him asking for a contribution to a Harambee he was attending. So, this country has seen the worst of Harambee. If we want to return it there, let us state exactly what we want to do. If we want to change the law, let us change it. We should not have the Commission as the scapegoat for dealing with it. view
