• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it suffices to say that the hon. Member should not be unduly worried. This is neither the Swine Flu nor any other flu. I will be able to inform the Minister for Public Health and Sanitation. view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: In fact, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am seeking your guidance. Once Supplementary Estimates have been tabled before this House, after they have been scrutinised by the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee, whether this House can again be treated to ad hoc information coming much later when this issue should have been substantively dealt with by the relevant Committee to its finality. view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence. Hon. Mungatana enumerated a couple of issues. If he would be kind enough to put them down in an eligible order, I would be glad to--- view
• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the Supplementary Estimates and thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for presenting these Estimates because, as you all realise, the Ministry of Education is one of the hardest hit.

This year, this time and yesterday, I said that the country continues to bleed. It is bleeding much more than even last year. What are the issues that the Chair has been called upon to adjudicate this afternoon? One, there was a point of order which was raised by the MP for Kisumu Town West, of the bona fide reconstituting of the House Business Committee. I think institutional memory will help you in making that decision. view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Last year, my colleagues who were with me at Serena will bear me testimony; one of the most acrimonious and hotly debated issue was who should be the Leader of Government Business and who should subsequently be Chairman of the House Business Committee. I think it is only fair that we lay this matter before this House. At that time, the two sides had the two issues in the bracket. We could not agree and adjudicate on who should be the Leader of Government Business. I want to put it to you squarely that when there was an Accord signed ... view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: I want to beg you that sometimes if you cannot beat through the law, then traditions speak louder than the law. In many countries it is the traditions that help to resolve some of the most complex issues like the one we are having here today. view
• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the decisions you have to make--- view
