• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to give the hon. Member some information on the side of women when you have taken miraa . I want to inform him that because miraa is a stimulant, you can imagine that it stimulates. In fact, most women who take miraa will enjoy sex better. I think that is a parliamentary term. I do not think it is un-parliamentary to use it. I think going round the issue is not helping; it is not a game. I can tell you that it is another effect when it is taken by women. They ... view

• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Of course, with a lot of respect to the Regional Integration Committee, she has given accolades to the 10th Parliament for creating the Standing Order and the spirit in which the committees have taken over responsibilities to look at Motions and reports in this House does not negate in any way the right to debate the same issues on the Floor of the House. That is how one enriches the Committee’s report. It is by listening to the views which even the Chair has agreed, when the Mover and the Seconder speak it gives immense value. ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I am rising on a point of order because hon. Ng’ongo has insisted on the fact that Mr. Njee Muturi is not a Nairobian. It is about time that this House learns that Nairobi is a county of three million inhabitants during the night and four million during the day. Mr. Njee voted in Nairobi. He has been a resident in Nairobi. He has done his business in Nairobi and, therefore, qualifies as a Member of Nairobi County. He also qualifies to be given a job on representation of Nairobi County. Is the hon. Member in order to keep referring ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is not an issue that just affects the area that she represents, but affects the country. The issue of disaster preparedness and management has been escalated by climate changes. We know that climate change is going nowhere. This is an issue that the Government needs to recognize. It is because of climate change that disasters are happening on a more regular basis. Fortunately, these disasters can be managed if the Government puts in money to prepare for them. The saddest thing about disasters is that once they happen those who suffer most are ... view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: It sounds like a joke, but that is what was contained in a report that was laid in this House in the last Parliament when we were discussing the issue of floods in Budalangi. So, it is not just about the Government preparing with regard to economical and structural issues. This is also a social problem. That social problem must be dealt with. I am not very sure why the Government has placed disaster preparedness in this new structure of Government. The last Government’s problem was that we had disaster preparedness spread over four Ministries. There was the Ministry of ... view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Chairlady. I am rising on a point of order again on the issue of relevance and clarity. The Member should go straight to the point. For us who are looking at the Appropriations Bill, what he is trying to do in rectifying the issue of salaries is touching on the Vote Head that deals with the Recurrent Expenditure in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. Therefore, we would be punishing the education sector rather than helping it. He should be clear as to where he is getting the Kshs27 billion. The clause that ... view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. On behalf of the Jubilee side of the Coalition, I would like to apologize to this House and Kenyans for what might have looked like a degeneration of the dignity of this House because of provocation from the CORD side. But it must be known that we knew the politics that was being played. We also knew the grave consequences of not passing the Appropriation Bill. We want to appeal to teachers to know that the side of the House that believes in sorting out their issues is those who do not ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee doth Report to the House its consideration of the Appropriation Bill and request to sit again tomorrow. view
