• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: We are not against anybody but this is something that we discussed and agreed on as the leadership of this House. We want to be fair to everybody. When we make certain requests, we should be listened. I am not a young man; I am a young tuck. People must listen to the young tucks. We are not in mid-life crisis. We are young people who are sharp in mind. Let us be fair to all of us. I would like to tell the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. A.B. Duale that I also have the capacity to lose ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Legal Affairs to speak in this House. Some of us have worked in the Government. We know what it means to be in the Government. We must have order in the manner we conduct our affairs. I have been budgeting in my own organisation. Therefore, I would like to request that we have a time out on this matter and reconsider it. There is no point of fighting around here. The request that we have just made is that we defer this matter. Let us sit down so that we can all agree. Let us not have a fight here. view

• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second but I am not sure whether I want to second the third part of the amendment. I am only seconding part (ii) but not part (iii) for very good reasons. I rise to second the fact as enunciated in the Report, which is that the various commissioners of the JSC must take personal responsibility with respect to allowances they received when they never attended meetings. In terms of culpability, it should be to the person who committed the crime and not the person who never committed it. We are agreeing on that ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: when you are appointed chair of a particular institution, you will not take responsibility for anything, and when bad things happen you blame your juniors. We appoint you because you are better than your juniors but if the juniors are better than you, then you have no business sitting in that position. You should have left office long time ago. We pick people on the basis of their competence, technical skills and people relationship. It is about management. If you are not technically competent, then you have no business being in that office. You are supposed to provide leadership to ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.107 with respect to the accuracy of the reporting by Hon. Makali Mulu. Item five is very clear. He is reading in a manner that fits into the way he wishes to second this part. He should second it in the format it is clearly stated: “The Chief Justice must take personal responsibility for all payments irregularly made on his instructions”. It is on his instructions and not any payment that was irregularly made by someone else. If he never made any irregular payment, then he is not culpable. That is the point ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move that the Motion be further amended as follows:- By inserting the following words immediately after the words “Tuesday, 7th July 2015”- “Subject to the insertion of the following words immediately after the words “Administration Committee of the JSC” appearing in the recommendation number 20 on page 139 of the Report: “Commissioners Smokin Wanjala, Mohammed Warsame, Ahmednassir Abdullahi, Rev. Samuel Kobia, Christine Mango and Emily Ominde”. This is to make it clear because members of the Finance and Administration Committee of the JSC have been changing from time to time. I am saying ... view
