• 19 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am also among the very few whom His Excellency paid for college fees.

Now that you are retiring and there is no much involvement, I will be requesting that next year you pay for the extra one year so that I can graduate. The people of Laikipia will never forget you.

• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we really called for a new Constitution for this country and all of us could not agree. We allowed each and every idea to be in the Constitution. At the same time, we went ahead to allow every idea to be in further enabling Acts. Today, all of us are looking back. We are all regretting why we passed that legislation or the other. We had no time to sit down and reason together. It is evident on us now that we are realizing that, in fact, what we did was not even good to ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we pass this legislation, I can assure you that the following day, we shall manufacturer as many birth certificates as possible. Do we have any time to verify those documents? Do we just want to run this country down because we want so-and-so to become the President of this country?

• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, he should learn to respect his chairman. I have not handed over to him. This question is weighty. In fact, I am jogging his mind. Maybe Mr. Midiwo had good intentions, but I am now jogging his mind. I know he agrees with me now that this will happen. Hon.

• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish he withdraws it much as it was well intended. I plead with the House and beg the Members not to take this country that route. Let us either withdraw the amendment or we shall be here to ensure that it does not go through.

• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an impression being created that teachers always go on strike every election year. That is not true, because teachers have been agitating for their rights throughout. Even last year they were on strike.

They answer is: Yes, they tried to negotiate. view
