• 25 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute and support the Motion of Adjournment. However, I want to highlight two or three issues that we must go home with. I remember when the President of the Republic of Kenya went to KICC for prayers, and when he came here, he reiterated the fact that God loves Kenya. The problem facing our country is greed. We have seen people who want to carry everything and yet God has given each one of us something to enjoy. The problem we have is that the greed that we have ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Having listened carefully to the eloquent presentation by His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister-designate, and judging by the mood of the House and the repetitiveness, would I be in order to move that the Mover be now called upon to reply. view
• 13 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, I want to take this early opportunity to thank the people of South Mugirango Constituency, whom I represent, for giving me an opportunity to serve them once again. I also want to congratulate all former hon. Members of Parliament, who made it back here, and the new ones who have come. It is a great honour and responsibility that people have bestowed upon all of us, as the leadership of this country. It is upon that premise that I stand here to state that ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to echo my sentiments and appreciation to this House for having accepted to unanimously agree to reduce the publication period of these Bills. However, it is important as, hon. Karua has just mentioned, that we should calm tensions and pressure within the country. It goes beyond that. We expect mutual and a hand of reconciliation from the leadership so that we do not do anything in a manner likely to suggest any new flare-ups. As I thank the negotiators, I want to appreciate that the roles they have played is ... view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: The worries of one side concern each one of us. I do not think it is fair to dictate upon other hon. Members on what to do and what not to do. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Clerk, you have read the Standing Order which says whether it is secret or not. Suppose somebody does not want to write. Today I forgot to carry my spectacles, I can request another hon. Member to mark the ballot paper for me. They are fearing because they paid. They do not want to lose because they like rigging. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Clerk, some of us are not that tall. We cannot reach the ballot box. view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also agree, in various respects, with Ms. Ndung'u's proposal. On this one, there are two things we also need to bring up. I think she should just propose an amendment. On the first part, as we believe, she is gender sensitive. She is not just talking about women. Secondly, I support what the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs has just said. We require to make an amendment to the proposed amendment to provide for age limit. Otherwise, this can also be abused. view

• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, actually, I raised my voice before the Question was put. The amendment the House is being made to adopt has not even been read out to us. I also raised the fundamental issue of discrimination. The Mover of this amendment talks only of female employees. We want to be gender sensitive. We know what an infant is, as is inferred, but can we know the age as well as the fate of gender sensitivity? view
