• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not challenging the legality of whatever he is saying, but it is a sham. Whatever law that was passed, there is no credible appeals process in Kenya. view

• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. with all due respect to your ruling which you rightly gave under Standing Order No.79, you will realize that many at times when hon. Members are seeking clarifications to either a Question or a Statement that has been given by a Minister, the Speaker would say that it is not time for speeches, it is not time for debate, it is not time for giving opinion, but it is Question Time.

• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: There is not a single discourtesy that has been provided in the statements of any of the hon. Members; neither have we belittled any head of state.
