• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Let me congratulate the Minister for bringing here this Bill, which I wholeheartedly support. In bringing a new Constitution we have turned a new page in Kenya. But if there is one thing which is going to make the constitution work as Kenyans expected, it is the justice sector of which the Judiciary is a pillar. The Judiciary has to be trusted.

• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I want to congratulate Mr. Ethuro for his able leadership in this issue.

• 30 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Bill. First of all, I welcome the assurance from the Minister that amendment will be brought to the Bill to ensure that anti-retroviral drugs will not be affected. Therefore, generic drugs, which are very critical, will not be affected. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from a region where counterfeit goods are a major menace. Only God knows how many people have died as a result of counterfeit drugs and goods. Counterfeit goods are very dangerous. They kill the innocent. Go to toys. Parents love their children.

I think the main argument for those who are opposing this Motion largely centres around an important report that should be tabled in this House, and an important answer that is being awaited from the Prime Minister. In my view, this House is very important and, at one time or another, there will be one important report to be tabled at every time. I think the wisdom or traditions of this House that puts various segments of the year for different activities to be undertaken is what we should follow. ... view

• 7 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have people fighting for resources. We have scarce water and pasture resources, which people are fighting over. So, we need to go back to the constituencies and arbitrate between fighting clans. Only three days ago, two people died on the border of Moyale and North Horr Districts. We need to lead from the front. view
