• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs and thank him for a job well done. The information I want to share with the House is that the House passed a Motion unanimously, calling upon the Government to pull out of the ICC. However, the Government did the opposite. The Government has asked for deferral of the Kenyan case at The Hague instead of asking for a pullout. So, when I went to these meetings, I was insisting that this House actually decided that we pull out of the Rome Statute, and not to ... view

• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that the situation is grave and we had asked the Government why there is no wish on its part to declare this matter a national disaster. Why has it taken the Government up to today to issue a Statement and to fail to declare this grave matter a national disaster? view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I support the report as submitted by the Committee. These are competent Kenyans whom we must give an opportunity to function. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support all the nominees on this list, I want to appeal to this very important Commission to ensure that whatever they do, they must always reflect the spirit of the Constitution. The spirit of the Constitution demands that any particular constitutional commission established must reflect the needs of the country. We had a quarrel ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this amendment. First of all, as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Equal Opportunities, I have a particular responsibility to speak for the women of this country. On this particular one, it is not easy for the House to discuss a certain nominee based on the name when there is no evidence that this nominee comes from a certain region. There are very many Kenyans who are born in every part of this country. If my son is born in Kisii, he has a national identity card that reflects the home ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, today is the day to protect the women of Kenya. As the Chairman of the Committee on Equal Opportunities of this House, this Report is talking about the nominating party. None other than the party leader of NARC(K) has just spoken. NARC(K) has full confidence in Amina Ahmed. Even if they were told to nominate somebody else, they would still nominate Amina Ahmed as NARC(K). Therefore, I would like to plead with the House to maintain the list as submitted to Parliament by the nominating parties. The list, as it is, does not exclude nominating parties ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is quite clear that we have ventilated enough. Would I be in order to ask that the Move be called upon to reply? view
• 21 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion but with amendments.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- (a) By deleting the word “not” appearing immediately before the word “subject” in paragraph 2(c) of the Committees recommendation; (b) By deleting the word “subsequent” appearing immediately before the word “review” in paragraph 5 (c) of the Committees recommendation and substituting therefor the ... view
