• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: No, hon. Speaker, Sir. It is very important that I say this: view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. speaker, Sir, the clarification I want to seek is that the Leader of the Majority Party means well, and I know senior members of the Jubilee Government mean well and he has given us what they intend to do. However, first of all, I would want him to apologise unconditionally to the Right Hon. Prime Minister and give us an assurance that such a shameful act will never again occur to a man who has done so much for this country. view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view

• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to seek a Statement from the Leader of the Majority Party on the circumstances under which the former Prime Minister, the Rt. hon. Eng. Raila Amollo Odinga, was denied access to the VIP Lounge at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Hon. Speaker, in seeking this Statement, I am aware that the Rt. hon. Raila Amollo Odinga is one of the most prominent Kenyans. In fact, anybody who cared to Google last year found out that he was, perhaps, the most known Kenyan. I also know, hon. Speaker, that hardly three months ago, more than 5.3 ... view

• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion by hon. John Mbadi. I think this Motion is long overdue and it should have been brought to this House a long time ago. Those of us who come from fishing areas know that if a lot more was done, this country could make more money than the Kshs10 billion that has been mentioned in hon. Mbadi’s Motion. view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Fish has many benefits. Sometimes back, I read in a journal that those who routinely eat the head of a fish can develop IQ as high as 130. It has been alluded to that the secret why some of us from the lakeside are good performers in class lies in eating fish from a young age. So, there are very many benefits derived from fish. It is time we pursued that commodity which is available and is very easy to rear so that this country can get the many benefits. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it may not be known but one ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is time we stopped viewing fishing as a backward occupation. Many times, fishermen are viewed as primitive people. Fishing is viewed as a profession for those who have not gone to school properly. I think that is wrong. That is a misplaced notion which should not be applicable now.

You look at, for example, our brothers and sisters ... view
