• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In making my contribution to this Motion, there are two things that I want to mention and discuss. Over the recent past, a very important exercise has been going on around East Africa. A very public debate has been going on about the future of East Africa and political sense in the key members of East African Community; about where we are taking our country. In the past, Kenyans have expected and looked to this National Assembly for a sense of political leadership and guidance on critical steps towards the regional integration. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the lives of the past two Parliaments, this House has been a very important catalyst of Kenyan public approval and support for the process of East African integration. Without the singular united leadership and encouragement of this House, I do not think the momentum, again, in moving from the East African Co-operation to East African Community, to the step of a Customs Union Protocol 296 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 3, 2007 Agreement, would have been done in the record period it has taken. Today, we are at a stage when, perhaps, the most critical decision since the ... view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I was saying nice things about NARC(K) and bad things about ODM, I would be having ear-perfect audience, because they are traditional issues, they are easier to comprehend and you do not have to think. It is like floating downstream. But we have a responsibility to do a bit more than floating downstream. Even corpses can do that! We have a responsibility to think outside the box some of the time, not just as a cliche, but what responsibilities does the National Assembly have; to raise public awareness, that there is more to this country than ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, like other colleagues, I want to make fairly brief remarks on this Motion. I stand to strongly support this Motion as presented before the House. If we start from the premise that we want to create dignity and honour to the Office of the Head of State and to reduce the cost of retirement for presidents so that some do not overstay their welcome, we have the responsibility to give legitimate incomes that are sufficient for healthy living for a Head of State. Mr. Speaker, Sir, two arguments have been used basically. One, that we need a ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other argument that has been used is a very interesting one; that we should not increase the benefits of the President because Justice Ringera is paid too much. That is a very interesting argument in logic. Mr. Samoei, maybe it is right that Justice Ringera is being paid too much because he is not delivering on what he is supposed to do. Maybe if he did that, you would not be very happy. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In fact, I am happy that Mr. Samoei would be very happy if Justice Ringera does a good job. I hope he does a good job. I do not want to personalise this. view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Motion before us is basically procedural because we know that traditionally this is the time we should break off for the Christmas recess. So, we are not inventing anything, or running away from or towards something. We are just doing the normal thing we do. But we can sustain the rituals as if there is some reluctance in doing what we normally do. December 7, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4293 I share the sense that we have a responsibility, as leaders, to tone down the hate rhetoric, to lower the temperatures ... view
• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Jambo la nidhamu, Bw. Spika. Angalau umesema kwamba tunafahamu kule ambako Capt. Nakitare anatoka, ukifanya uchunguzi kikamilifu, utapata kuwa hata kule Capt. Nakitare anatoka, msamiati umeenea! October 26, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3199 view
• 26 Oct 2006 in National Assembly: Bw. Spika, nilikuwa nikijaribu kusema kwamba haiwezi ikanukuliwa kwamba kule ambako Capt. Nakitare anatoka, hawafahamu Kiswahili. Pengine yeye binafsi hafahamu Kiswahili, lakini sio kule anakotoka! view
• 26 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to donate the first five minutes to the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. view
