• 23 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You can see the manner in which my colleague can degenerate. I am not an issue in this Motion. I gave a contribution that he felt very fidgety about. I never mentioned my colleague. Why should I be an issue? My people in Sirisia have been suffering year in, year out. On 12th November, 2007, an invasion from Mt. Elgon came to a village in my constituency and the invaders cut off ears of 16 people. There are 16 people without ears in my constituency. It is not a laughing matter, ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I support this Motion for the simple reason that we have no business to transact. I hope that we will come back and find sufficient business for the House to carry on. Indeed, at the House Business Committee, where I am privileged to sit, we did agree that by adjourning today, we shall forego the normal and usual three weeks adjournment just before the Budget, so that we sit right through the Budget to give a proper account of our being here. Mr. Deputy ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought I referred to my good old friend with the greatest dignity that he deserves! I want to see a situation where we are all seen together in the countryside. We should not just appear in the newspapers preaching and saying that we need peace, unity and cohesion. We should go out there, meet wananchi and show them that we are truly embracing the spirit of healing and unity. I would like to tell the good old Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry that I am ready to visit his constituency next week, so that we tell the people ... view
• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Stop there! Your time is up! view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to support this Motion and urge the House that these two Bills are negotiated Bills- negotiated by representatives of both sides of the House. Since the country is anxiously waiting for their passage in this House, I want to urge that when they eventually come for Second Reading, the House should take advantage of Standing Order No.99 and combine the Second Reading and the Committee Stage so that we can be able to pass them in one single afternoon. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to urge Members that these ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to say a few words in support of the President's Speech. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start by paying tribute to the President and the leader of the Orange Democratic Movement, hon. Raila Odinga, for signing the Accord that brought peace and normalcy to the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the events that followed the General Elections of December last year exposed the soft under-belly of our country. The events shook the fabric of our society to the core. We were all left vulnerable and nobody across the Floor ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Those are the hard questions we have to ask ourselves. We, as a House, must collectively realise that our vantage position as an economic powerhouse in this region is under threat from our more vibrant, ambitious and organised neighbours. We must be competitive. We must cultivate an environment for a tourist who wants to see a lion to choose to see it in Maasai Mara Game Reserve, and not Serengeti Game Reserve. We must cultivate an environment for a tourist who wants to enjoy the beach to come to Lamu and Malindi, and not go to Tanga or Dar es ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge that we all see the events of December, 2007, up to January, 2008, as an enormous opportunity of releasing ourselves from our mental blocks to see and realise that on our shoulders, we carry the burden of Kenyans. We do not want to be like the people of an imaginary country called "Kusadikika" as depicted by Shaaban bin Robert in his book called Kusadikika, where he says: "Wasadikika walikuwa wamezoea kutafuta fimbo baada yakuumwa na nyoka." That does not help society. Tutafute fimbo kabla ya kuumwa na nyoka . With those remarks, I ... view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I also congratulate you and your deputy for the victory that you have secured convincingly on the Floor of this House. I have no doubt that you will discharge your duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Standing Orders, the Constitution and the firm and categorical speech that you have given us here. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join my learned friends; Ms. Karua and Mr. M. Kilonzo in what they have said. I want to point out that what Mr. Orengo has advanced here has no basis, validity or foundation either in law or fact. view
