• 11 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I conclude, I just wanted to let the Chair know that I have consulted with Mr. Ngugi and we have agreed on some minor amendment. I would like to read the Motion as suggested by Mr. Ngugi and thereafter, I can continue because it is in the interest of time and there is no fundamental change to what Mr. Ngugi has suggested. view

If the country could entrust us with such a critical process, there is no reason why Mr. Y. Haji, myself or anybody else, for that matter, cannot contest the Presidency of this country and get elected. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I also want to acknowledge and thank my party Secretary-General, Mr. M. Kilonzo, because he is the one who proposed Mr. Abdikadir. That shows how ODM-K means well for us following my nomination to this Parliament. view

I want to say that the group of experts we intend to endorse today, will fulfil one of the most important aspects of the Act itself under Section 5. There is a requirement that we create this group of experts, and the only remaining bit now is the referendum. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I would like to request the Members of the Committee to be very vigilant, and to spend minimal time on its work, so that within three months, or six months at most, we can have a document that will be acceptable to Kenyans and that, hopefully, will not be as controversial as the one we have had before. We already have the basis for the final decision to be made by the Kenyan people. We have the Bomas Draft, the Kilifi Draft, the Report by the Bethwel Kiplagat Committee and many others. This group can use all those documents, so ... view
