• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister alleges that he is supposed to oversee security matters across the country without prejudicing any section of this country. Is he in order to suggest that North Eastern Province is not part of this country? view

• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even today if he is ready. He has a chopper from the Police Department, we can just fly to Garissa today and come back by tomorrow. I am ready. view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for your guidance. Would I be in order to request that you give direction that meanwhile, as we await the Assistant Minister’s visit, the harassment will be stopped? view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 14 of the Bill be amended- (a) in Subclause (1) by deleting the words “three months” appearing after the words “at least” and substituting therefor the words “two weeks”. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: However, I am not so sure whether my amendments are now time-barred because my proposal was that nomination of candidates by political parties--- The duration should not be pegged on an election or a general election. My perception was that it could best be pegged on the nomination day, a day which is gazetted by the Commission as the day when members seeking different elective positions will present their papers. My proposal was that we peg it to two weeks before the nomination day; that political parties should submit and conclude their nominations. But since the Chairman has proposed 45 ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: However, the next amendment to part (b) still stands and I beg to move:- THAT Clause 14 of the Bill be amended- (a) in the proviso to Subclause (2) by inserting the words “after notifying the candidate that the party seeks to substitute, where applicable,” after the words “the political party may”.

• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I had a sub-amendment but I have withdrawn it. Just to be a bit clear, I do not know why someone has allowed that a Presidential candidate be within the party list, with the realization that after all, you cannot elect five, seven or ten Presidents! You will only have to elect one and the rest will have to go by the floods! When they come to Parliament, there is the position of the Minority Leader. A Minority Leader would be a leader of a party with the second largest number of Members of Parliament. ... view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that is a point of argument! You will understand that even in the party that Mr. Midiwo comes from, the Presidential candidate happens to be the party leader. That is the fact! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if we have already allowed the proposition that such Members be within the party list, it is with the realization that some of these Members might not make it to Presidency. After all, they should find their careers within this House as party leaders in some different way; whether as a Minority Leader or a Majority Leader. If ... view
