• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this legislation because we also want to bring other legislation. We are going to pass an Act of Parliament entitled “the Foreign Agents Act”, so that we can interrogate the foreign agents in this country. These are the ones within our midst working for the foreign masters; they pretend to be reformers, yet they are outdated. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at history - I know you are a doctor and you must have gone to school and learnt history. If you look at the history of colonization of Africa and the way the colonial masters came to Africa, they came carrying the bible. I am a student of history. They softened our people, brainwashed them and, as the saying goes “The flag followed the cross”. After this, they started the scramble for Africa. Subsequently, came the partition of Africa. Lastly, came the total colonialism. We were ruled. Nobody said that they were coming ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am on record. When the issue of the ICC came up, we stood here 20 of us and said that we wanted a local tribunal. So, I am very consistent. However, today looking at things the way they are going, it is a revenge mission. How come that I went to war with you, carried a gun as you did, and tomorrow you are testifying against me, saying I be crucified for what I did, and yet we were together in the same battle front. Kenyans must be told the truth, even those shedding crocodile ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should have our own institutions here. That is what I said the first day. When the Motion came to the House, I voted for a local tribunal and I still stand by that. This is because by the end of the day, we are not asking ourselves why Belgium can go for over six months without a government and we have not heard of interventions, or of any Kofi Annan going there. However, anything happening to Africa, we are like small kids. They must come and correct whatever we are doing. I appreciate Kofi Annan ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank President Museveni for standing firm on the issue of Libya. Yes, I do not agree with what Gaddafi is doing in Libya, but at the same time if this is the type of intervention that the United States will be bringing to African countries, then I disapprove of it. For example, in our case in Kenya, we should be able to set up our own local tribunal here. Let us have our own judges, because we believe in them and if we do not believe in these institutions, then let us go to certain ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I do so because last time, we were supposed to break for more than two or three months but we came back because we had a very important agenda. I want to thank hon. Members and congratulate them for rising to the occasion. At least, we have now jumpstarted the process of making sure that we shall have a new Constitution. Therefore, we must cool the temperatures. Hon. Members will now have time to go and listen to their people or constituents. There are some very important issues that must ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: It is high time that hon. Members, especially the young lawyers like Mr. Mungatana and Mr. Wamalwa, to take the issue of Kenya School of Law seriously. It has become a reserve of the rich. You cannot imagine to access the Kenya School of Law after you graduate. To be admitted to the Bar, you have to go the Kenya School of Law and every semester, a student must pay Kshs90,000. That means that every year, they pay Kshs180,000 . Therefore, they will do it for two years. This is discrimination of the highest order. It is against the Constitution ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have heard we are abolishing the minibuses; the view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: , which carry 14 passengers. We have not been told how those in the transport industry are going to be facilitated by the Government so that they can access funds and buy the big buses. Are we saying that the poor of this country will be completely left out of business in this country? We agree that we should have buses operating in towns but for the rural areas and other towns, let us still have the minibuses until the Government lays down the procedure where people can access money. Otherwise, this Parliament is already being condemned because we are ... view
• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
