• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I am a bit concerned about the language that the Hon. Chair and also Hon. Memusi have used. It has gone to the Hansard . It is this question of view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: routes which you have also raised. I think we need to confirm what panya routes are so that if anyone is to read this Hansard about today’s deliberations then they can know what we are talking about. Maybe they need to clarify so that they do not use that. I think it is unparliamentary. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Listening to the arguments forwarded by the two sides, I heard one talk about Article 251. It is true that Article 252 talks about independent commissions and office holders. Article 127 of the Constitution of Kenya is specifically about the PSC. It talks about the way in which a Member can be persuaded to vacate office. I would be persuaded to imagine that that is the one we should be following. The other Article talks about all commissions and independent office holders, but Article 127 is specific to the PSC, which is the commission we are ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will only add to his request for a Statement and say that we are dealing with very tough times. I urge the Cabinet Secretary to be very careful with how he handles the scientists that are dealing with issues of the Coronavirus.

• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as much as I believe that democracy requires that we have more parties, on the issue of a website, it is the bare minimum. Honestly, a party that cannot even set up a website should not have any space in today’s world. view

• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair for the opportunity. As I speak, I want to first declare that I am a member of the Wiper Democratic Movement – Kenya (WDM-K) and not a briefcase party. The WDM-K is the third largest party in Kenya. We came to Parliament through a coalition arrangement. There was hope that all parties would get some money and, therefore, get some share out of the money for that. Anyway, on the issue of this amendment…. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I will tell you this Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It is a simple English statement: The number one party is Jubilee, the number two party is ODM, and number three party in Kenya is WDM-K. We are also a parliamentary party because we have a Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). We have a commissioner. It is because of our threshold. We have achieved the threshold. It is in law. Let me go to my issue. On the issue of funds and the reason I support Hon. Kioni’s amendment, the proposal that was there before was that 53 per ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: 1 per cent, they get that. If the party has 1 per cent, it will get 1 per cent. Why would you be worried if you already have the lion’s share? I support this amendment of the Chair. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I wish to say that mine does not have all those issues that have been raised by Hon. Kioni. Mine is a very simple one. view
