• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: avert that strike. That means we, as leaders and especially the Executive and the management of KAA, have failed in our duty. What that means is that we must engage in meaningful ways to end that problem. One of the things we must focus on is the question of leadership at KAA. Obviously, there is a problem. Secondly, we must focus on the underlying causes of the strike. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The facts of the KQ-KAA merger will be looked into, but the suspicion on the merger is one of the causes of the strike. It appears to me that we, as Parliament, are also failing in our duty. On that issue, we have a pending matter of an inquiry by the Public Investments Committee (PIC). There is also the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. I propose that we form an ad hoc committee to look into that matter and ask fundamental questions to establish by what legal process a private entity can take over a statutory body. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

The more seasoned Members here know that the reason seasoned Members are allowed to come in mandarin collar suit without ties is because it has a collar and covers up to the neck. This is a matter I am willing to ventilate because I have looked at the Constitution, the Standing Orders Part XVIII and the Speaker’s Rules and I have looked at all the previous rules. There are three things ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: your neck and mine is covering. The second aspect is that either you wear a collar or a tie like my friend here is wearing a collar without a tie. That is within rules. Thirdly, what you wear must be smart and decent. All those four are coved here. The Leader of the Majority Party, who is wearing religious garb, is nevertheless smart because it suits and matches his suit. I would be falling short of the rules if I came in an open collar and a shirt that is open. But if it a shirt that is closed, either, ... view

• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: You may not know, Leader of the Majority Party, that there is such a thing as a right of reply in the Constitution. Hon. Speaker, in similar manner, may you expunge the reference by the Leader of the Majority Party to the Nomiya East African Church as a small religion. There are no small or big religions under the Constitution. All religions are equal. Therefore, Islam, Christianity, Nomiya are all the same. Secondly, this is a serious matter and I appreciate the Members who have spoken to it. It is particularly important because I am acutely aware that the last ... view
