• 18 Jun 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know of hon. Members in this House, personally included, who spend all their salaries in their constituencies!

• 30 Apr 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Supplementary Estimates Motion, which has been moved by the Minister for Finance. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I know that the Minister is making Supplementary Estimates at a time when the revenue base, or expected revenue, that was to be collected in this quarter has somehow been met under very difficult circumstances. I know the Minister must have been trying very hard to make sure that one, he is able to take care of the concerns of Kenyans at this particular moment. Mr. Temporary Deputy ... view
• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking a clarification from the Chair arising from the headline in today's Nation Daily Newspaper. It states that a number of Members of this House did not actually take part in the vote that took place on Tuesday, and I am one of them. In fact, I took part in the vote. However, I was late to come in for the vote in the Committee of the whole House. The perception from the newspaper is that 19 Members did not take part in the vote. I would like to seek ... view

It was a resounding majority that must rank as one of the highest in the country. view
• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the Presidential Speech was very key and crucial. Considering that the President has served all the ten terms of this House, it was important that he left a befitting legacy as he finishes his second term as the President of the Republic of Kenya. It was also important that in his reflection of what had transpired, he had an opportunity to look back at all those years he had done service to the people of Kenya, to see what was important as a way-forward for the betterment of this country. Therefore, in his ... view

• 19 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: I am only fighting for my democratic right as per the Standing Orders. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who came together to discuss about Kenya. Whether they came from outside led by the team of Eminent Persons or inside--- We had Members of Parliament and Kenyans who prayed for a peaceful Kenya. There are Kenyans out there who wished Kenya well. As I said, this is our country and we have no other country to go to. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, issues have been raised about equity. Perhaps, ... view

• 17 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we have already come out of what used to be the problem in the Pensions Department. A lot of these backlog has been sorted out. With regard to this particular pensioner, the money is lying in the bank in Kwale. It is not a question of transmitting the same. The money was transmitted nearly a year ago. The money is there! This was money that had been outstanding arising from the manner in which he retired. He retired in public interest! However, the money is lying in the bank there. So, it is not ... view
