• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also make my modest contribution to the Budget Speech. As I support the Budget Speech, I want to once again begin by lauding the leadership of the country, and hon. Members, for bringing peace and relative stability to the country. I want to thank my colleagues, who were recently elected in the by-elections, to fill up the seats left vacant by our departed colleagues and the seat left vacant following the election of the Speaker.

• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. I must congratulate whoever moved the Motion because it is long overdue. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), as we discuss, is a sort of eyesore to this country. In fact, it is a shame that we have Kenyans being referred to as IDPs. It is a shame that we have Kenyans who, because of the quarrel in the political class, have been uprooted and routed from their lawful homes. It is a shame that we have Kenyans living in tents, ... view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that my colleague across the Floor and the Chair did not hear what I said. I said, and want to repeat it, that for any Kenyan to go back to their legitimate home we should not have any condition or pre- condition. view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Every Kenyan has a right to live and own property anywhere in this country. Nobody should arrogate themselves any duty to lay conditions of whatever nature for people to go back to their homes. view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as I know, I did not say that any single hon. Member had said this or that. I said that I have seen, to my embarrassment, some colleagues setting conditions. It is common knowledge. view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say loud and clear here that the Kenyans who are suffering out there will live to haunt all of us here. From now on, as my colleague from Saboti said, we must accelerate our pace as a Parliament, a leadership and a people to get people back to their homes. As a leadership, we must engage in reconciliation and reconciliatory talk. We must, as a leadership, be seen to narrow the gap between us. We must, as a leadership, stop thinking that because I come from Western Province, I have a say in ... view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it does not matter where you come from. My constituency is also affected by the on-goings in Mt. Elgon. I am housing many people from Mt. Elgon, who have been displaced internally. 642 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 23, 2008 view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know if what I have said is in any way out of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, have I breached any order? view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the art of debate normally requires that the right to speak by any hon. Member must be equal to his or her right to listen to others. You have to listen, whether you like what your colleague is saying or not. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me end by saying that we must all go out there. I want to see my colleague, Mr. Imanyara, coming to Sirisia to tell the people of Sirisia to live well with people of Mt. Elgon. I want to see my brother, Mr. Ojaamong, coming to tell his people that ... view
• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have actually established that the tradition in this House that in most Motions of adjournment that carries subjects as emotive as this Motion, the Chair normally relaxes the timing to five minutes to allow as many Members as possible to contribute to a Motion. I want to support that point of order. view
