• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the law does not give them any chance, by avoiding usage of terms like “may” or “would be” or “maybe”. It says “shall”, in respect of information relating to the number of vacancies allocated to each county. I am sure that this is a matter of interest to even the Leader of the Majority Party, who comes from Garissa County. I would like him to tell us how many chances were allocated to Garissa County and to my county of Uasin-Gishu. I have read the advertisement. I even asked other people to read it, so that it could ... view

Deputy Speaker, I have listened very keenly to the Statement that has been requested by the Member with respect to the goings on in the Judicial Service Commission. The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee is currently seized with other matters in addition to what he has requested. We will be dealing with those issues.
