• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we pass these Bills here, let them not just lay a foundation but be a beginning for a journey that we want to travel together. A journey that will end by giving this country a new beginning, that will give us a new constitutional dispensation and the legal reforms that we need. We know why we are where we are. We know what has brought us here. However, let us get out of this place. Let us not continue to live in the past. Let us look at the past as a way of trying to ... view
• 18 Mar 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the procedure has been breached here. First, when the Temporary Deputy Chairman was still here, the Attorney-General should have come up and moved that the Committee of the whole House doth report its consideration of the Bill and its approval without amendment. Then the Temporary Deputy Chairman should have put the question that the Committee had considered the Bill and approved it without amendment. I think the procedure has been breached. Maybe, the best procedure would be for the Deputy Speaker to retreat, so that we can go through the right procedure. view

• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for the remarks that you have just made on this issue. We all need to appreciate that Kenya will exist beyond the 2007 General Election. Therefore, it is important that all of us, as leaders who are competing, uphold peace and speak the language of peace. view
• 2 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have said very well that we want all the cases of violence, including that of Mr. Livondo in Lang'ata Constituency, to be investigated. I have come out clearly to say that I want a fair contest with Mr. Livondo. If he defeats me, I will concede defeat. That is why we also want to urge the other side to assure us that there is peace. However, Members of Parliament are not just ordinary people. If, for example, an hon. Member comes to hold a function in my Lang'ata Constituency and I try to go there to ... view
