• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you and support. view
• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Sorry. I had wanted to speak to the previous one. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Report. Every time people are employed, unless they die while employed, the natural thing that happens is that they have to retire at some point. Every day that passes moves you closer to retirement. I remember when we left the university in the early 1990s, we were in our early 20s and the mid-50s looked like a long time away.

• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: We see many Kenyans who break the law time and again, day in, day out but a lot of times, instead, of facing the full force of the law, they are given baptismal names. Some of the people who have stolen public funds in this country, instead of being called thieves, are called billionaire businessmen. The footprints are there.

This Report shall be in vain as many others have been if people responsible for that blatant misuse of public funds are not brought to book and the full force of the law is made to apply. I support. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to thank you for giving me the opportunity to also comment on this issue of the Dominion Farms. The point that you have raised with regard to Article 125 of the Constitution is fundamental. That is an express provision of the Constitution. I have said it in this House before that many foreigners who come to Kenya do not come with the interests of our people at heart, but with very devious and selfish interests which are meant to oppress our people.

• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: what he may claim. I urge my good friend, the Member for Tharaka and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands, to invoke the powers that we have and summon that man so that he can appear and make those reckless statements before the representatives of the people of Kenya. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This amendment by Hon. Wamunyinyi is very good. Competitive appointment is a spirit that is running our new Constitution. Therefore, his proposal that the appointment of members be done through a competitive process is in keeping with the spirit of the Constitution. It also helps us to identify those who are best suited for the job. Therefore, I support. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I make my contribution to this Bill, it is a pity that we are debating it when the House is virtually empty. In my view, this is one of the most landmark Bills of the 11th Parliament. view
