• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I see a young parliamentarian hanging on to the pecking order, I think it hurts. You have just ruled, a while ago, that the Minister is a Minister, regardless of the height, age or whatever it is! A Minister is a Minister and we are perfectly in order to transact the business of the House. I wish we could continue with the business of the House. view

• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Honestly, I quite agree with Members of Parliament who have expressed some serious maturity in terms of handling this matter. We have a culture of baying for people’s blood. Some of us are quick at judging and passing sentences. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I withdraw the misunderstanding. What I meant to say is that on this matter this Parliament has stood together in terms of addressing national issue that affects our people as opposed to politicizing it. I think some Members have said it before and I do not know why it came out differently when I had said it in the ears of my good friend. But nonetheless, I want to proceed. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think the hon. Member on the Floor is out of order. Hon. Members do not get "tired"! view

• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: From the outset, I wish to support this Motion. The Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs has done a very good work. I happen to have served in this Committee and I know how professional it can be. As I support this Motion, I want also to impress upon Members of Parliament and Kenyans in general, to also take cognizance of the fact as we try to emphasize on gender equality and parity, let us not move too fast to the extent that sooner than later, we will have affirmative action for men.

• 12 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that this Commission has serious challenges. These challenges will, not only be addressed by this Commission alone, but all of us, as Kenyans. We need to embrace their recommendations. At the end of their term, this country needs to move forward as one nation. Kenya is a wonderful country. Wherever you go, everybody talks about Kenya. However, we use our hands to destroy our nation. We use our utterances to destroy our economy and wealth. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we use our utterances to destroy our international relations. As I said, ... view
• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. It is important for all of us to appreciate the fact that most of the economic environment we are in is either macro or micro. “Macro” are beyond our control while “micro” are those that we can control.
