• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the concern that we have to express as a House is knee jerk reactions whenever accidents such as the Ntulele one happen. People respond very strongly. The whole country was grieved when the Ntulele accident happened and then as soon as a few days go by, it is back to business. It is like nothing has happened before. I want to maintain that, because I know that they are so many people who want to contribute to this Motion, what we lack in Kenya is not laws. What we lack in Kenya is the will to ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the accident that occurred at Ntulele, the bus was overloaded. There were police roadblocks all over the place. It went all the way with an excess passenger capacity of about 10 or 11. It was not stopped and I want to say this: It is time now that Kenya starts doing things differently. When we look at the people in charge of managing traffic on our roads, there is obvious evidence of corruption. We all know what traffic policemen are supposed to be earning but even by the way some of them look, they have ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: As much as I am not a medical doctor, what I said, and I hope the good doctor could have listened was some of the traffic police men in our country have waistlines which look like the size of an old male elephant, with a big stomach hanging above their knees. That is a fact, and you see it everywhere. Clearly, is that something to be debated? view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: If the Inspector-General of Police wants to take action, the first point to start is by putting some of those policemen on a diet.

• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: and then we start moving. Something needs to be done. There has to be a will power and a commitment to enforce the laws. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I support and urge my good friend, hon. Maina Kamanda, and my senior colleague in the profession of engineering, Eng. Mahamud Maalim, that please, this is complementary and synergy. We are all moving towards achieving the same thing. view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Three weeks ago I requested a Statement, which actually touches on the dignity of the citizens of this country; this was on the cause of the death of the late Haji Lukindo. I was supposed to have been given that Statement last week. The Leader of Majority Party promised to issue it today, but from the look of things he does not have it. This matter is so important to me. It touches on our sovereignty and dignity as the people of Kenya and how foreigners regard us as citizens. So, I really want an ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The overriding principle of the Auditor-General coming here at 4.00p.m. today is because this matter is of interest to the Kenyan Public. While I do not want to follow up on that matter, this to me is not the only matter which is of interest to the Kenyan public. You will recall that on many occasions, I have stood up here on points of order to ask questions. In fact, almost on a daily basis Members stand up here to ask questions on security in the country. I have taken it upon myself to ask ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: My contention, and I believe it is one shared by most Members here, is that security in Kenya has become a national issue. The same way we are able to use Standing Order No.1 to allow the Auditor-General to come here and give us issues relating to matters that concern the Kenyan public, I beseech you through the Office of the Speaker, that we should have a similar session. If you look at our country in the last three months, the truth is that many parts of Kenya have now simply become death and torture chambers. The hon. Bare Shill ... view
