• 13 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say that I am not intimidating anybody. But really this country has gone through a lot of pain. It is the high time to understood this pain and resolved it once and for all. Because our principal leaders have agreed upon, we must support them. We all individually and collectively said that we are going to support peace. This is the beginning of peace. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that the Tenth Parliament rises above any other Parliament to formulate the vision of this country and the Kenyan dream. The Kenyan dream is ... view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: These Members are used to stealing votes and bribing. That is why they are not ashamed of secret ballot. view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment by Dr. Oburu. This is because the levies introduced have affected factories. As I speak, the affected factories have closed down. The costs of bread and other essential commodities are high. We are impoverishing our people. This is a serious issue. We can tax as much as we can, but we should not hurt the mwananchi at the grassroots level. There is already an understanding over a green levy between the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and producers of plastic bags. Why do we not give a chance for that ... view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Minister aware that there is competition between livestock and plain game?

• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to constantly keep referring to a Bill that has not been tabled in this House? He has not also specifically said when it is coming. Is he in order? view
• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, after yesterday's, meeting with the President, and the Assistant Ministers, does it now mean that they have become Deputy Ministers because they have been given certain responsibilities? view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has just mentioned that this was a high profile terrorist arrest. It has been shown that they were targeting the Imam. Why did they arrest the whole village? Secondly, why did the arresters refuse to identify themselves as police officers? They burnt down the premises of these villagers, and stole money and gold from them. Is this what the law says in Section 21 of the Criminal Procedure Code? This is purely religious profiling! view

• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is misleading this House by contradicting himself. First, he spoke here about a "high profile terrorism arrest"; then he concentrates on a fraud of an identity card. Suddenly, he says that they are still investigating him for the crime of terrorism. Some investigations must have been done prior to an arrest and then the suspect is arrested and immediately arraigned in court! But here, somebody is arrested without investigations and then assumed to be a terrorist, then he is taken to court. There is a lot of contradiction! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the ... view
• 3 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request the Assistant Minister to clarify a certain issue. They have organized and demarcated the districts. But there is the issue of overlapping of constituencies between districts. What will take place when there is an overlapping of constituencies between districts? The law does not allow overlapping of constituencies between districts? view
