• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: For some of us who have been in the struggle for democracy in this country, we have known times when limiting opinion and discourse, and refusing to listen to the silent voices of the minority so that this country can go to the right direction, has been very costly to this nation. I remember, in 1997, when we were in the Inter Parties Parliamentary Group (IPPG) where we agreed on how the former Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) would be composed so that all parties could come together--- view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My contribution is going to be very brief. All I want to bring to the attention of this House is the importance of the Motion, both in the manner in which the hon. Deputy Speaker has moved it and the manner in which the Chief Whip has supported it. I really want to tell this House that this adjournment is necessary to give us enough time to consult and have a concurrence on how we shall appoint the House Business Committee. It is not the House Business Committee in terms of individuals, but a House ... view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the time that is being asked for is not too long for this House to consult. The time being asked for is not too long for the people of Kenya to wait so that we do the correct thing. This House has the responsibility, as I said earlier, to make good laws and make sure that they are not against the principles and agreement we have committed ourselves to in this Grand Coalition Government so that it can run this country democratically. view

• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: To begin with, I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to the House, led by you, and the nation led by the President and the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, for having brought this nation together when we had the recent disasters in Molo and Nakumatt supermarket. It provided a nation at a moment of agony to mind the affairs of our brothers and sisters, and not only join Kenyans in grief, but also in solidarity to show that as a nation, we can rise like the oil of Minerva from our ashes and support ourselves at the time ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to thank our medical fraternity; our doctors, nurses and health workers, led by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Medical Services and the DMS, for what they did at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Nakuru Provincial Hospital, Molo District Hospital and all other private health facilities that, indeed, did look after our people at this very trying time. We hope that the 56 survivors who are still in hospitals will, indeed, survive and live a prosperous life. view

• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, behind every dark cloud, there is always a silver lining. The silver lining is that it has taught us to make sure that we can respond effectively at such moments of need. Indeed, the plans we have had on paper and discussed, to have rapid response facilities and units; to expand our burns facilities, not just at KNH but other provincial hospitals, should be implemented because such a disaster can befall us at any time. view
