• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the training of apprentices at our industrial training institutions is not really known to many Kenyans. So, hon. Wangamati must be very lucky to have had three of his children going through the institutions. It is not many Kenyans who have had such chance. The other day, I approached the East African Portland Cement Company to know how many apprentices have been enrolled for industrial training from my constituency. I was told that for the last three years, they have not been able to do so, because their industrial training institution had put in place very ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.53(3) which reads:- view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: “Despite paragraph (2), the Speaker may, on the request of a member, defer the putting of the question to the following day in which case the Speaker shall thereupon nominate a time at which the question shall be put.” Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is there a quorum in the House? view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion and congratulate my brother, hon. Gatobu, for really thinking about those who have been left behind, who are from very similar backgrounds with some of us. I believe that about three quarters of the Members of this House are from a similar background. They may be people who have come from really far – people who may have been assisted at one time or the other in order for them to make it to where they are today. It is very important when we have a databank of ... view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I would have been the most disappointed person today, if I walked out of the Chambers without contributing because I woke up very early in the morning thinking that this Motion would have been in the morning, only to be disappointed by an adjournment to 2.30 p.m. I want to take this opportunity to thank the President for considering the Maasai community and, particularly, the great support for that community. Right from Samburu, Kajiado to Trans-Mara they gave the Jubilee Coalition support. Hon. Speaker, Sir, when the first list of nominees was passed ... view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. It is good that we have the HANSARD to refer to. The other day when the first list of Cabinet Secretaries was passed in this House, hon. Mbadi had complained that even a person from the Maasai ought to have been in the group. I am just confirming that today that has been done. The point of order was not warranted, but we understand that these are national figures and they are going to serve all Kenyans. Of course we have all the rights to be excited when our brethren are recognized and given positions. ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. My name is hon. (Ms.) Tobiko from Kajiado East. Let me appreciate the statement by the Majority Leader and the efforts he has exhibited as my brother Lati has said. He is doing a very good job. I just want him to take note and pass the same information to the leadership of this country. Of the Cabinet Secretaries we approved the other day in this House, one was conspicuously missing, the one for the internal security docket. I think that needs to be addressed urgently. That is an issue in the country. We cannot ... view

• 17 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just want to speak on the impression that my sister has created. I did not want to interrupt her maiden speech. view
