• 20 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to echo my support to the Speech given by the President during the State Opening of this House. I want to thank Mr. Raila and our President Mr. Kibaki for agreeing to sign the Peace Accord that has brought peace in this country. We can now move around peacefully and do our usual jobs normally. It is very sad for peace not to be there. I remember on the 28th of December, 2007, even before the results of the General Elections were announced, three of my constituents were killed in Eldoret ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to add my voice to those who have congratulated His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister-designate plus the mediation team and the Panel of Eminent Persons for bringing us where we are today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I do not know how many of you read the Daily Nation which I do. However, today when I was reading the Daily Nation, there was a conversation between Maina Kiai and His Excellency Kofi Annan. Mr. Maina Kiai reminded Dr. Annan that when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. Dr. ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are here today in this House because of the famous saying: "It takes two to tango". We in this House who have previously been antagonists are just about to tango together to produce good music to Kenyans who have been suffering tremendously as my friend, "G.I., Mr. Gitobu Imanyara, has said. For many years, Kenya has suffered from what my dear friend, Mr. Gitobu Imanyara, has called imperial presidency. 196 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 18, 2008 Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I remember well, all the manifestos of all parties, beginning with the National Democratic Party (NDP) which ... view

• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir! Please, do not pre- empt what I am going to say. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to draw the attention of the Attorney- General to an issue which affects the Bill as a whole. I am wondering at what point will the Attorney-General deal with it. I notice that we have this Bill, but we have no schedule of interpretations of certain key words or concepts in the Bill that would need interpretation in law. Usually, we have the first page saying: "Government means...", and so on. But it is not ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I thank the Attorney- General. At least, I wanted it to go on record in the HANSARD, so that no mischief can be carried henceforth. That is because the Attorney-General has entered those words in the HANSARD. I think the nation will be satisfied with that. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view

• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this microphone was not alive to my being here today, but I suppose it has been woken up.

Without much ado, I would like 56 to request that the Question be put. view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Will it be in order for me to seek clarification from the Leader of Government Business whether what he is proposing means that he agrees in principle with extending the sitting hours of the House, but not necessarily today? The spirit in which we were proposing this was to make this House work harder under the circumstances in which we are, where the workload of this House should be in tandem with the March 12, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 95 expectations of Kenyan people, that the productivity of this House should be higher ... view
• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the Leader of Government Business in this Motion. But this is one of the most frustrating Standing Orders in this House. That is because when hon. Members ask for Motions of Adjournment, they are usually on matters which are of great national importance or matters that are very important to the House. Therefore, the time limit given for these Motions of Adjournment may have been appropriate in colonial times when Parliament was made up of the gentry, who agreed on most of the issues. However, these days, given the diversity of society and ... view
