9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, let me say I wanted to know the pronunciation of “ sine die” because a number of doctors like Hon. Pukose were pronouncing it differently. It means we are adjourning without a date being fixed for future transaction.

9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly:
I went to some good high schools. One of them is Kabarnet High School between Form one and Form four. Every time we closed school, we used to sing a song by Jeremiah Rankin. I am not saying I will sing but it stated clearly, ‘God be with you till we meet again’.

9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly:
Many people like Hon. Ng’eno think it is for funeral processions. It is meant to wish each other well until you meet again. It says, ‘Till we meet again’. I know in the university he attended it would mean going away completely.

9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly:
Hon. Members, it is time we wished each other well. I personally want to thank the Speaker of the National Assembly for steering this House very well. He made it very lively and highly recognised. He managed to preside over this House without noticing the difficulties he had. At one point, I am sure he was unable to differentiate between the minority and majority. It is always a very difficult balance when you are in that position. Things evolved quite a lot during this Parliament but he managed to steer us very well.

9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly:
I want to personally thank all my colleagues for making me the Deputy Speaker unopposed. When I sat in that seat, I enjoyed quite a bit because there was a lot of yelling from Members of either side of the House. I believe we achieved quite a lot as a House. I also want to thank the Members of the Liaison Committee, which I have chaired for the last four-and-a-half or five years. We managed to achieve a lot. As we go home, I would not want to go the direction of the Leader of the Majority Party, when he ...

9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly:
Members of the public who were unable to follow in English were assisted through the Speaker’s and Clerk’s Offices to follow in the easier Kiswahili language. This is a happy moment for me. I know we will come back in different formations. There are some who will come back as majority, minority and others independent like me. Hon. Speaker, if you will be lucky to be presiding over us, I am sure you will have 30 plus independent candidates willing to work for their constituencies independently. Hon. Speaker, I thank you and God be with you till we meet again.

31 May 2022 in National Assembly:
will face the normal attrition of the House. So, as I have said, this is the Will. I expect Members to be very keen because it tells us what to expect in the next Parliament. Hon. Members, I want you to be very keen. I will be brief. You will see that many things will come in the course of this. For example, some Bills are being saved. When a Bill starts and you are sponsoring it, if the House is adjourned sine die, and it will, you can take over from where you had left it if you come ...

31 May 2022 in National Assembly:
I want to make special mention of the fact that committees received and considered views from Hon. Members, committees of the House and Parliamentary caucus groups within Parliament. For the first time, the public was requested to submit memorandum. It was done deliberately because of instances when Parliament has been taken to court. Unfortunately, this is an area which the public is not very interested in and for good reason. This is a basic thought for Members of Parliament themselves and they did not give any representation. Members of the National Assembly, together with some committees, gave some views which ...
