• 22 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, I would like to remind hon. Members that we have the rare opportunity to participate in the enactment of new laws which are intended to transform our governance architecture, and which will change our social, economic and political interactions. Indeed, as a country, we have not, in the past, given priority to the systematic unveiling of a set of values and principles which define or become our national interest. We have now a clear opportunity to do so through the national values and guiding principles that are enshrined in our new Constitution. As we implement our ... view

• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: They are very, very knowledgeable compared with any others that I have seen and listened to many times in this particular Chamber and in the other Chamber. I have listened so many times. I am sure that in this particular regard, they have, in fact, interpreted the law correctly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank you very much because, in your own wisdom, you have brought out what is required to come out, and which is important. What you have said is correct. It is right. I am sure that it is what we should follow. I want ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to say, thank you to all those people who have taken part in the preparation of this draft Constitution. They are all here. When you look at them, they are very young people and they have actually studied quite a lot. It is a great thing, the more you think of it. I am quite sure that all of us who are here should be able to say: “You young people have taken us a long distance, along this way. Let us go on as far as you have taken us”. We know there ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: I do not want to go over so many points, which I have listened to, but I know that you are properly geared to making a new constitution for Kenya. This new constitution is for us. It is for all the people who are in Kenya. We shall later on look at it in our own time and amend it. But right now, let us go forward. I want to thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the reason that you looked at these issues and made the judgment right here. You explained them to us in a very bright manner. Thank ... view
• 23 Feb 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my pleasure to welcome hon. Members to the Fourth Session of the Tenth Parliament after a two month recess. I am sure that this well deserved recess gave you time to replenish your energy, consult with your constituents and support development activities in your constituencies. This House is reconvening at a particularly important time in which we are steadily overcoming the challenges we have faced in the recent past. It is also a time when we are implementing bold reform measures that will define the future of our country and people. This is, therefore, a ... view
• 23 Feb 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as hon. Members will recall, our country has sought to obtain a new Constitution for the last two decades without success, but now we seem very close to this goal. During the just ended recess, the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) on the constitutional review process did this House and the nation proud, following their consensus after two weeks of deliberations in Naivasha. On behalf of all Kenyans and this House, I take this opportunity to commend the Select Committee for a job well done. view
