• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, thank you very much and I want to apologise for earlier behaving like I was in a high school. That is not what I was intending. However, I was getting very perturbed by the remarks that were coming from this Floor. It was actually reminding me of the days that I was in high school. So, maybe, that is why I was confused. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I just want to speak on one issue. This issue of using the Presidency to whip emotions is very unfortunate by the Attorney-General, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs and even our Chair of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC). We respect this President and that is why we want to debate this issue. That is why we have not taken this issue outside this House. To purport that we are bringing politics into this issue, the Attorney- General should know that this is the heart of politics. This is the political heart of ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, definitely, the Presidency is an institution. It is not an individual. We are definitely being reduced to think about President Mwai Kibaki rather than the Presidency of this country and we will not do it because we are not children. We know the game that is being played. When the Attorney-General was speaking here, he spoke about voting three times or four times in his statement. He kept going back to vote! Vote! view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, we can see that the voting machines have been called. We know them. They never come here. Some I have not seen them in a while. In fact, when I leave, I will greet them because I have not seen them for a while. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I will remove the word “voting machines”. I would say that the Presidency is advised by two very important organs; the Attorney- General and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. Therefore, to purport that this decision was made by the President alone in his own thinking is also to mislead this House. So, I want them to be candid enough to say that they misled the President and that they are willing to go back and take the points that hon. Gitobu Imanyara has brought. If it comes on the face of it - ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Minister to deny what we saw on television today in shock, as he met with the bankers and told the media that he had agreed to a reduction of 2 per cent – something that, of course, was not agreed in this House? I agree with hon. Mbadi. He is playing into the hands of the bankers. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to second this Motion brought by the Member of Parliament for Kamkunji. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: I want to congratulate him for seeing the need to raise this issue to national level, because of the number of people who have died, those who have been hospitalized and the danger that is portending for Nairobi residents, because this is not the first time that we have had a grenade attack. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not really even about asking Government what they intend to do because we have asked that question before. The answers have not been satisfactory. Obviously for it to recur, it means that the measures that the Government has put in place ever since the country went into the OperationLinda Nch i which we knew would have repercussions of the sort that we are seeing, obviously, have not been fruitful. This is because we would not be having nine people dead and over 52 currently hospitalized at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is more about us asking ourselves as a House how we can move the issue of insecurity in relation to Al Shabaab and in relation to our operation in Somalia. We cannot continue having Kenyans die and abducted as the Government continues to give us updates. Every Saturday we see a very nice gentleman from the Kenya Defence Forces view
