• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other problem is with regard to simple bookkeeping or reconciliation. An example is the NSSF which was holding Kshs6.3 billion in the 2008/2009 Financial Year in a suspense account and yet we know of vey many pensioners who have not been paid this money. The idea here is that no proper books of accounts that have been kept. view

• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. First of all, I have to thank hon. Keynan for trying to bring sanity in the way we operate and structure ourselves as a society. I want to further support the amendments that have been proposed by the Mover of this Bill that the former Presidents and Prime Ministers should be separated, but they should also be moved slightly a bit higher, just below the Deputy President. Also, for the Members of Parliament, as he has said, we represent the people. When you have peoples’ representatives, it is very important that, that is recognized. ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in mourning our departed brother and friend, Senator Otieno Kajwang. Indeed, we received this news with a lot of shock last night, and on behalf of myself and the people of Funyula and Busia County, I want to extend my condolences to his family and of course his brother who is one of our colleagues, hon. T. J Kajwang’. I have known hon. Otieno Kajwang’ for a very long time, both before I joined politics as a student and even when I joined politics. Hon. Otieno Kajwang’ ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: something positive and good for the country. It is also very easy for us to reverse those gains if we are not vigilant. That is why hon. Otieno Kajwang’ always liked this song. Some people thought hon. Otieno Kajwang’ was just singing this song for the sake of singing, but it is a song that really inspired him to say that the struggle still continues. It is our duty to make Kenya a better society than we found it. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I think hon. Otieno Kajwang’, in the days that God has given us to be with him, he has strived to make this society better than he found it. I also want to end by saying that hon. Otieno Kajwang’ was a very supportive Member of ODM, not just for the sake of supporting, but he believed that political parties are crucial in nurturing democracy in this country. We must have discipline in political parties for this country to be able to move forward. Because the time is short, I just want to quote the words of Shakespeare, “Death a ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to correct the Member that in terms of financial management and planning, you simply have to do the collection and administration of resources. You cannot separate the administration of the resources from the collection. By us implementing or making any change to the administration of the resources, we are simply being prudent. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion as amended. I want to say that all Kenyans have a right to have national identity cards regardless of which part of Kenya they come from. I happen also to come from a border county. One of the issues that was elaborated by the hon. Mover of this Motion was that some peripheral counties have been discriminated when it comes to vetting and making sure that all Kenyans get their identity cards. The issue of security has been used as one of the reasons for discriminating against Kenyans and ... view
