• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, while I would not want to go back to the Leader of Majority Party’s decision to withdraw the Order appearing at No.12, Procedural Motion, yesterday morning we were to debate the Report on San Marco Project in Malindi. This Report is a carryover from the last Parliament. The reason it is urgent is that the Report has matters which impact on the people of Kilifi County, the people of Kenya and, indeed, on our country as a whole. It would have been our wish, as you had directed earlier that, that Report be brought here. I even talked ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: That is the Report on San Marco Satellite Station. It is also important if you look at what that station is doing and what our country stands to gain by adoption of that Report. I really wish this Report could be fast-tracked, even if it is not possible to do it today; we request to be given priority when we resume, so that we can discuss and adopt it. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Motion for Adjournment. As we adjourn to go to our various constituencies, I think we need to congratulate each other for the work that we have done on behalf of the people of Kenya. view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, but even as we do that, I have observed it before. I think that when we reconvene for the next part of this Session, let us try to concentrate on those Bills and laws which impact directly on the lives of Kenyans. Some of the laws that we have passed in this House, with all due respect to hon. Members, tend to look like ego contests and, in my view, we can avoid that. view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as far as I am concerned, I would not mind if Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) call themselves “honourable”. After all, some of them, if the truth is to be said, got more votes than some of us in this House. view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I am glad that the Leader of Majority Party has spoken about San Marco. I would urge him to bring the regulations governing the Engineers Act, which is close to my heart. I request my colleagues that, as we go out, let us all work collectively to take Kenya back to the goals of the founding fathers of this nation, so that we have a Kenya devoid of tribalism, poverty, ignorance, disease and a Kenya which can provide, to most of us, manageable standards of living. view
