• 12 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to contribute to the Presidential Speech and also to congratulate Members for being re-elected to the House or elected to the House, whichever case it maybe. I would also like to thank my constituents for re-electing me to this National Assembly. The previous speaker provoked me to say something briefly about population. There is an 102 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 12, 2008 old theory which argues that the problem of development is population growth. That theory has been challenged many times. Some people say that the problem of development is not really population ... view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Bw. Clerk, I think this House knows that we have voted in many ways. We usually vote by division where people go to the lobbies to vote. That is not a secret ballot. You cannot say by insinuation that it is by secret ballot in the Standing Order. The Standing Order has to be very specific so that people are left in no doubt whatsoever what to do. In the event that it is not specific, then, indeed, any form of voting that is allowed in this House, which is usually by division, can be resorted to. view

• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: He knows the process was flawed but he accepted to be sworn-in as the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. Please, stop being involved in contradictions! During the Referendum, you left this House because you said that the debate was a flawed process! What is this ping-pong game he is playing with us? Be clear in your mind exactly when you participate in flawed things and when you do not participate in them. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Clerk, the fact is that the parties have already publicly acknowledged who their candidates are. What is this hypocrisy about a secret ballot? They went to Naivasha campaigning for Mr. Kaparo. We are campaigning for our candidate; so, why are we hypocritical about being secret? We know what the stand of Mr. Musyoka is. He has said publicly that he supports Mr. Kaparo. So, this myth about a secret ballot is hypocritical! view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Clerk, Sir. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: The Government side! view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to congratulate you for being elected Speaker of the Tenth Parliament, a job you well deserve. view
• 15 Jan 2008 in National Assembly: I am going to make a very short point, having appreciated the arguments of the lawyers which are usually made without reference to much politics. view
