• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: If that is the precedent, I must be allowed also to shout at them. view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 107. I do not know whether Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo was here. I had forgiven Hon. Mwadeghu for the false information, but Hon. Midiwo has raised the same issue. I rise on a point of order to request that when you make your ruling, we have this matter referred to the Powers and Privileges Committee for the Committee to investigate whether the Minority Party Whip, indeed, deliberately gave false information to the effect that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs deliberately refused to allow Members of ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: When the substantive Speaker was seated there, I was persuaded to withdraw my point of order. I had requested that the Members of the CORD coalition should not be allowed to come back to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs until they say whether they were denied an opportunity to participate in the Committee proceedings. If it is true, action ought to be taken against the Chair who refused to allow them to participate. If it is deliberate false misinformation by the Minority Party whip, then he should be named in the House. It is bad manners for ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is composed of 29 Members of Parliament; 18 from the Jubilee Coalition and 11 from the CORD Coalition. If it is a question of participation, we will allow them to have their say. We have always acted in a consensus manner. We have never taken a vote except in the Petition of Mr. Wafula Buke. In all other instances, we have participated in this Committee through consensus. It is unfair for somebody to come here and say that the CORD coalition was denied an opportunity to participate in the Committee’s proceedings, and ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, before you make your ruling, I have risen on a point of order to request that the letter for de-whipping Members of the CORD Coalition be referred to the Powers and Privileges Committee. We will appear before it and an inquiry will be conducted to determine who is wrong. Article 50 of the Constitution is very clear. Anybody who exercises any authority must exercise fair hearing and fair administrative action, which is in a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Bill that we passed in this House. We talk about the rule of law. Let me tell Hon. Jakoyo what the rule of law means. I attended the Magna Carta Conference when the United Kingdom (UK) was celebrating 800 years of the rule of law. They said nothing can be prevented that is not forbidden by law, and no one can be forced to do anything which is not provided for by law. Why am I being prevented to do something which the law does not prevent or why am I being asked to do something which the law does ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know I hardly disagree with my good friend, Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. Certainly, he was not late today because I was somewhere praying with him in the morning. I expected the benefit of that prayer to continue in the House, but it looks like the prayers did not brush him inside. It stayed outside. That notwithstanding, it is important that when we have a Prime Minister of a friendly nation like Israel visiting, we should deal with a little bit of inconvenience to host them. When the first Luo President of the United States of America was ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We should not discuss good friends like Israel particularly when we are working on an irrigation project that is going to change this country. Israel is the lead consultant with the best The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: technology in irrigation. Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo may not understand how transfer of technology happens. When people visit you, they come with their technology. Otherwise, you will become static if you are going to remain in the rudimentary manner of subsistence farming. We should embrace some of the new technologies and our visitors. I was inconvenienced yesterday, but in as much as we have been inconvenienced, there is also a price of having a good friend. The reason our General Service Unit (GSU) is well trained and everybody trusts them is because they are trained by Israel. When there are terrorist ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg that you put the Question in the next Motion. view
