• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. May you stay in good mood forever. view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Most obliged, Hon. Speaker. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I wish to reject this Committee’s Report. When we sat as a Committee, we realised that hon. Mututho has passion and is a brave fellow. He has the gravitas, the energy, the zeal and he can do what most of us might not be able to do. When I was in Parliament, he was passionate about drug issues. Indeed, he moved a Motion on the same and I am sure when he moved this Motion, he became a celebrity in this country. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: He lost the election because of the cartel; people who were out to make sure that hon. Mututho did not go back to Parliament. Justice delayed is not justice. Justice is the midwife of peace. You cannot deny somebody a job because he has a case in court. All of us have some issues in this country. All of us are not clean and have some problems here and there. That is a human weakness. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: When you look at this country, you get a glaring grim picture. You realise that about 4 million Kenyans are consuming hard drugs and other substances like chang’aa and others. For instance, in Malindi, people consume about 20 tonnes of cannabis sativa . The amount of money we use on drugs in this country is about Kshs240 billion. If you give this job to somebody who is colourless, has no zeal and is not passionate, the country will lose. This is a small job, but hon. Mututho will turn anything to gold. This is a job that pays about Kshs80,000. ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: If you look at his academic background and experience, none can beat him. Again, the President had his own wisdom when he appointed hon. Mututho. I worked with NACADA as one of the directors and we could not move because we needed somebody who is very active, passionate and a go-getter. We needed to have somebody who knew what he wanted to do. If somebody thinks that because of cartels hon. Mututho will not be the Chairman of NACADA, that is a big mistake. It will be bad for this country. Central Province, Nairobi, Nyanza and Coast are burning. Families ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: This is a time when we need to support somebody like Mututho and this House must come out openly. I know very well that there are some people who might think that hon. Mututho does not fit the bill, but he, indeed, fits the bill. He is a man we know. He can deliver. We need results. Those are the results that will help this country. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I reject the report. I do not support this Committee’s recommendation. The House has a duty also to see to it that Mututho gets the job. I am sure he will do a good job for all of us and for this country. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. My condolences, sympathy and empathy go to the family of hon. Aduma Owuor. I know he is facing quite a trying time. Losing a father and a mother at the same time is really tragic. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are getting our priorities wrong in this country. This country’s priority number one should be security, number two security and number three security. Security has been a festering issue in this country. The people in northern Kenya have had the feelings and pangs of insecurity in this country. The pain ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, unless or until we address the poverty situation in this country and unless we look at how to create wealth for this country, we will not be out of the woods as far as security is concerned. We are taking things lightly. The regular police force is grossly underfunded. The Administration Police (AP) force is grossly underfunded. They have no vehicles. They have no fuel. They are not secured. Time has come when we have to fund the regular police, the AP force and the military. view
