• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on Standing Order No.95. I beg to move that the Mover be now called upon to reply. This is so that we can come to closure of this debate. I have read the mood of this House and I can tell there is quite a bit of repetition. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. If people just got down to real business, you will notice that the causes of death in Kenya are not worth being causes of death. In fact, as the Member for Emurua Dikirr was saying, violence is categorised as one of the major causes of death in Kenya. The other things we can avoid - like HIV and AIDS. All those are things we can avoid. I just need to underscore the meaning of Bill of Rights. Health has been mentioned as a major factor in the Bill of Rights. I think we rushed devolution. ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: so that we can stop those useless deaths and even causes of unnecessary disability which should not have been there. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion for Adjournment. It is important for everybody to read the Constitution clearly. People should not be reading the Constitution to suit what they want. The Supreme Court talked about the rule of law and the Constitution of Kenya, and yet it forgot the most important Article in this Constitution, which is Article 1, which is the sovereignty of the people of Kenya. It is so important that I would rather all Members go and look at it. The moment people look at ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Article 1(1) of the Constitution states that all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution. Article 1(2) of the Constitution states that the people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected representatives. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: We cannot jump and talk about transmission before we have looked at the importance of whether the people turned up to vote or did not vote. We cannot be talking everyday about an issue which we all know that the same IEBC that is being bashed left, right and centre is the same which was in charge of the elections which brought us here. It does not make sense for people to pretend that it is okay for us to be here, but it is not okay for other people who were elected through the same means not be in ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: country. I also heard Hon. Ken Okoth, Member for Kibra Constituency, changing what Hon. Junet said. I just want to remind my colleague, Hon. Ken Okoth, that there are people who sit at the periphery of political parties and there are those who sit right inside and when they say things, we listen to them. You know what I mean and everybody here knows what has been transpiring. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: It is important for us to know that Kenya is important than all of us. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Yes. There are Members who sit at the periphery and there are those who sit right inside to make decisions and contributions to those decisions. It is important for us to know that Kenya is more important than all of us. We can be here today, but we may not be there tomorrow yet Kenya must survive. People must know that once the Supreme Court has decided, we have to go for the repeat election on 26th October 2017. We cannot afford to have the country where it is now just because we want to fulfil the whims of one ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, but I also want to remind people the meaning of verification. It is important for us to read. Let us read and understand what it means. It does not mean what suits you only. view
