• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to thank the owner of this Bill, hon. Adan Keynan, who brought a similar Bill in the previous Session. Even as we contribute to this Bill, I would like to know what happened with the National Symbols and Emblems Bill which was signed into law by the President. That is because even after the Bill was signed into law, we still have governors today who fly flags in the counties and nothing has happened to them. So, even as we discuss the Bill, it is important to insist that people have to follow the law. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I remember that, that Bill came back to this House so that we can include the Cabinet Secretaries in the list of those who are authorized to fly the national flag. However, some of the governors are still flying the national flag and that should be looked into. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, order or being organized is something that has been there for a long time. That is both in humanity and in animals.

That anarchy can continue like that and we ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I remember two months ago when we attended a function on a Sunday in a church in Murang’a County. At one point, the function came to a standstill because there was confusion between the Governor and the Senator as to who should invite the Deputy President to speak. The Senator insisted that he is the Deputy Speaker in the Senate while the Governor felt that he was the Governor of that county. So, there was a five-minute delay of silence. People were looking at each other and wondering who should speak first. The Deputy Governor took over and did what ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: If you look at that list, it will not do a lot of justice when we put the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary below the former President, the Vice-President and the Prime Minister. If those people are serving in the current Government and look at The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the word “honourable” has been misused very much so that, at the moment, it is a whitewash and does not have any meaning. If you go to the county assemblies, you will find that every person who is employed there calls himself or herself “honourable”. That includes the cleaners and the messengers. You will find stickers on their cars reading “Hon. CS for Roads, National Disaster and Hon. Ward Administrator.” All of them call themselves “honourables”. When a Mheshimiwa is called, there is confusion even in the meetings as to who is supposed to be referred ... view

• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Chuka Farmers Co-operative Society was registered in 1950 as one of the pioneer farmers’ societies in the country. At the peak of its operation the society had more than 12,000 members. In 1997 the society, by resolution, split itself into five societies and a housing society. For the purpose of liquidation of the original society, the Commissioner of Co-operatives appointed a liquidator in 1998 to value the society’s assets and institute the settlement of liabilities owed to creditors and workers’ salaries.
