• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. At the outset, I confirm that I followed the whole process of nomination to this point where the Committee has given its findings and recommendations. In terms of professional qualifications, all these nominees merit. At first, I was rising on a point of order because everybody in this House was in support of their tribe, region or religion. Some of us were hurting inside because when I look at this Motion, I wonder! I join others who will say that in that boardroom, they will not even speak English ... view

• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Can you give me the microphone? Sometimes, I also wish Hon. Members can respect their colleagues. A member has just walked in and he has not even heard what I am talking about and yet, he is raising points of order. The Member for Kikuyu is drunk with power. I am very bitter. I am free to either support or not and it is my obligation to do what I think is right. Right now, when I look at Dr. Andrew Tuimur and Mr. Patrick Nduati Mwangi, I am talking about 42 tribes in this country. I am addressing about ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Without much ado, I hope this country remains a unitary state and I hope that regions will be got rid of. Tribalism is a killer of this nation and it is a vice we must remove by all means. It must start with the President. If this does not continue, I do not think we are uniting Kenya. So, I do not support. view

• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Sometimes this year on 30th of June, I presented a Petition by the people of Mavoko, aware that land issues is a thorny matter and very sensitive. The Petitioners came to this House pursuant to Standing Order No. 223(f) and (g) and Standing Order No. 227. Through your authority, the Petition was okayed. I would like to thank the Departmental Committee on Lands of this august House for handling the Petition as requested by the Petitioners. I represent a constituency that is cosmopolitan, but the two ancestral inhabitants of that constituency are the Maasais and the Kambas. When the Maa ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it pains me so much to see those people being rained on. Their prayer number two is that the land has never been used for the stated purposes after they had mined. They are even saying that they are the original and communal owners of that land.

• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: They have even gone ahead and stated that the land was compulsorily acquired from the right owners who are the Petitioners. As I stand here--- view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: The reason why I am standing here is for you to reprimand the persons going to the media and calling the petitioners land grabbers. I am requesting you to rule whether a State officer or a Government agency should call other agencies to come and investigate a matter that is being handled by a Committee of this august House. If those prayers are answered, we shall have done justice to our people. I hope the public in general will start looking at this House from a different angle. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
