• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker; I totally sympathize with the Leader of the overwhelming Minority that they keep growing a bit of it. I think the Jubilee Government has a very good manifesto. If he had read it, they would not be growing just a bit of it. I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No.95. There is consensus in the House and the Leader of Minority Party agrees that he also supports it. Could I be in order to ask the Mover be called upon to reply? view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank hon. Wario for bringing this Motion to this House. You can feel and empathize with him. You can feel the palpable frustration which these people have gone through especially when there is flooding along the Tana River Delta. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Indeed, hon. Wario’s proposal is a transformation Motion that seeks to transform the way in which these people will live henceforth. There are many things that have been done along the Tana River; that is starting from Masinga. This House cannot act in vain. The way we are speaking, it looks like we are seeking to persuade somebody to do a job that he or she is expected to do. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, secondly, this Motion appears to be begging them to come up with mechanisms to control flooding. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.54 to move an amendment to this Motion. view

• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: THAT, this Motion be amended by deleting the words “come up with a mechanism to control the flooding and consider compensating” appearing on the eighth line after the word “Tana” and substituting thereof the words “undertake to construct a dam to regulate and control floods and forthwith compensate.” view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This is a very specific Motion. We are not telling TARDA or KenGen to come up with mechanisms. We are telling what they need to do. I am sure they have this in their books but because they do not want to exercise their mandate, some of them are sleeping on their job. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: As you heard from most hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion, particularly hon. F.K. Wanyonyi; if the Motion was asking TARDA and KenGen to stop the river from flowing, it would be impossible. It is something which cannot be done! We must do things that are not in vain. We must take action and resolve to do things that can be done in a very reasonable and rational way. So, I wish to move that this Motion be amended as I have just stated. I am seeking this because there are three other rivers that emanate from Nyambene ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I think that was rightly said as a further amendment and I thank hon. Chanzu for it. But, in legal terms, I do not think you can compel anyone do to something that is already in the legislation which they are expected to do. I think the use of the word “undertake” is good enough and since hon. Chanzu does not retain me as his lawyers, I can give him a friendly advice, which, of course, he will not pay any fee. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I wish to move this Motion and ask hon. Wanyonyi to ... view
