• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, in view of the great public interest in the sale of the Grand Regency Hotel and other related public properties; taking into account the mysterious circumstances surrounding the sale of the hotel, and in particular before a conclusive investigation of the Goldenberg Saga and implementation of the report of the Bosire Commission of Inquiry; this House do grant leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of Parliament to nullify the sale of Grand Regency Hotel and other related properties owned by Uhuru Highway Development Company ... view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Namwamba has not declared his interest in this Question. So, could he declare his interest before the Question is answered? view
• 2 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since it is very obvious to the House that the Leader of Government Business, who works with his whips, is disagreeing with them, is it in order for the House to be subjected to filibustering? Could I be in order to ask you to July 2, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1593 put the Question? view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to oppose the adjournment. I do not have to sit on the Opposition side to oppose. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: I have listened very carefully to the reasons we have been given for the adjournment, but they are not convincing. I see two reasons, as far as I am concerned, for this adjournment. One is that the Government has been unable to generate enough business. If that is the case, then indeed, as Mr. Nyambati said, we should change the Standing Orders and give more days to the Private 1056 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 14, 2008 Members' Motions so that Members can generate business for the House. That is one of the reasons I have seen and it is not convincing ... view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: On the issue of a Grand Opposition, I do not think hon. Members have said they want to leave their political parties at all. Those who are opposing it are products of opposition, yet now they are frightened because they are in the Government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is on the lips of those who want a Grand Opposition is Parliamentary democracy. They actually want to protect Parliamentary democracy. There is a saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupt absolutely. view
• 14 May 2008 in National Assembly: Those hon. Members are saying that we want to check absolute power so that it does not corrupt this country whatsoever. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if one hon. Member is in North Eastern Province, another one in Western Province and another one in the Coast Province, they will not have time to sit together and ensure that this noble idea, that is going to protect Parliamentary democracy, survives. That is why I read fear in those who want to send hon. Members home. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have said that we want to have a new Constitution for this ... view
• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to speak on the Presidential Speech. Like everybody else, I want to take the opportunity to congratulate you and wish you well in that hot seat, in which you will be guiding the Tenth Parliament through a very historical process. I think what you have done so far is commendable and we wish you well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to congratulate the President, Mwai Kibaki, and Prime Minister-designate, Mr. Raila Odinga. This is because after elections, the country went through a really difficult period. It needed men of ... view
• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: That handshake can only take place in those areas if all of us as leaders will emulate what they did. In our utterance and whatever we say, we should help to enhance that handshake and not bring about issues that will divide us. So, let us not talk about those people of Central Province or those people of such and such area. I think we should learn to look at ourselves as Kenyans. We will be moving ahead in support of that handshake. 320 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 20, 2008 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in his Speech the President hailed ... view
• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: or do they really translate these things to our areas?. We want the compromises, the give- and-take also to take place in those zones and areas all over Kenya where there have been problems. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we are to pass on the spirit of compromise and so on, then we must also be prepared to speak the truth. Sometimes, when the truth will come out, it will be very painful. It may even touch on us as leaders and say, "You, in your utterances, caused this problem". That will be the truth and we, as leaders, ... view
