• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: If there is anybody that is empowered in this country to determine the constitutionality of any law, including our Standing Orders, which find foundation in the Constitution, it is only a court of law. Nobody else! We cannot come here and pretend that we can deal with issues of interpretation and determination of the constitutionality of any law. Section 3 of the Constitution is very clear. As a lawyer, I know it. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, under the law of Estoppel, you yourself and the Deputy Speaker are in fact estopped in law in impugning the validity of the oath you have just taken yourself after election. The oath that you have taken to determine the matters and affairs of this House without fear or favour with firm foundation in law. Mr. Orengo can then not turn round and urge you to say that the oath that has given you authority to sit where you are sitting is unconstitutional or defective. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge you, with a lot of humility, that once the Chair is stopped for ruling any other way other than the oath that the Chair has taken to sit where it is sitting is valid. view

Member for Mumias in order to engage in reckless 4536 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 17, 2007 speculation and rumours on issues that he does not seem to know? If he knows where Kabuga is, there is a US$5 million bounty on his head, why can he not go and collect it? view
• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Although this Motion was directed at the Attorney-General, it was actually a misdirection. I think that, ideally, it should have been directed at my Ministry.
