• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Ningependa kusema kuwa tuliuangalia uteuzi wake si kwa kikabila bali kama wengi walivyosema hapa, tungependa kusema kuwa tunakubaliana kuwa tungependa Mheshimiwa Rais Kenyatta ajumulishe Wakenya wote na ahakikishe kuwa tuna sura ya Kenya atakapokuwa anateua maafisa wa Serikali, hata kama ni mabalozi au viongozi wengine katika idara za Serikali. Hivyo ndivyo tunaweza kuendeleza nchi yetu ili iwe nchi inayoheshimika na kukubaliana na maadili ya kidemokrasia. Kumalizia, ningependa kusema kuwa ingawa Meja-Jenerali MstaafuTumbo alifanya kazi kwa Jeshi la Kenya, tunaamini kuwa akifika Somalia, atazungumzia masuala ya Somalia na Kenya na kumueleza Rais Kenyatta ukweli ulivyo. Tunaamini ataleta ujuzi wake wa kijeshi ... view

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to say this with a lot of humility and in appreciation of the fact that hon. Mutava Musyimi is one of the very highly respected Members of this House. I have also served in the Budget and Appropriations Committee before my party removed me from it. The truth is, we need clarity from the perspective that constitutionally, is the Budget and Appropriations Committee allowed to allocate money for an event or events which are supposed to be taking place during public hearings? For example, now that I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Defence ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, with regard to the figures which have been put here - and you can see the resentment that is being brought forth by the Committee Members - the reality is that there are many people in this House who are questioning the validity of the amount of money requested for the Committee to hold public hearings, that is, Kshs3billion. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is a critical issue. We cannot be rail-loaded in this House because 50 individuals have decided that they are going to share this money. We must interrogate this money and it must be discussed by the same public that is going to ask. We held meetings in Kisumu in the year, 2014. In the Kisumu meeting, not a single project was given. Another meeting was held in Nakuru and not a single project was given. So, which criteria is the Committee going to use to allocate money, say, for construction of bridges? I rest my case. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to help my brother, hon. Wamalwa, the Member for Kiminini. I want to explain to him the following: The truth is that all international universities are rated and ranked. In the United States of America, the only difference is that they rank them from the perspective that some of them are science-based and others are business-based. Even universities which teach theology are ranked according to the subjects that they teach. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I am not quite sure I understand what hon. Jakoyo Midiwo is saying. The issues that are outstanding pertaining to whether a Member should be removed from a Committees or not, some of us feel that it is inherently critical for this House to begin to understand that some of us vent and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: raise critical issues affecting our political parties and it is wrong for these political parties to punish us. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I will give you an example of myself. I have been removed from all my committees simply because I have been criticising my party and my party leader. I only sit on the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. I was a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, but I was removed. They keep telling me that I am in another Committee, which I have never received any correspondence on. As far as I am concerned, I am committee-less and it looks like I am also party-less! So, I object to this Motion. I completely refuse to be cowed. ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think it is a mistake. view
