• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Presidential Address. Allow me to, first, send my personal condolences and those of the people of Rarieda Constituency to my fallen colleague and friend, Mr. Lilechi, to his family. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Presidential Address touched on a number of issues. I hope that the way he went through them was not in order of priority. If you look at the Presidential Address, you will see that the issue of territorial integrity was actually the second-last item on his agenda. I hope this does not reflect how he regards the territorial integrity of this great country of ours. As you know, as we speak, our country is threatened from so many corners. We have the issue of Migingo Island, which has not been resolved. We have the issue ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Do we have to say that if a European was demoted in Europe and replaced with an African, it would be business as usual? Why do we accept the demotion of Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka as business as usual? This is a shame and time has come when we have to call the attitude of the UN what it is.

I have not been an envoy myself, but I know that if you are posted as an ambassador in a foreign country, you must respect the culture of its people. You must respect its people. Above all, you must respect the elected representatives of that country. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: The behaviour of some ambassadors in this country is not acceptable. There is no way a foreigner, with no voting rights in this country, can come here and tell an elected Member of Parliament not to speak in his own constituency. This is not disrespect shown to the Member of Parliament only. It is disrespect shown to all of us, as Members of Parliament. It is disrespect shown to the whole country. We are the elected leaders of this country. There is no way, I believe, a Kenyan ambassador in Europe or in the USA can go to an elected ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support this Motion. view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to inform you that there is no quorum. view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know and understand that the rules of this House bar repetitions. These things we are being told have been said over and over again. view
