• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Langu ni kupongeza Mheshimiwa wa Nyali, Mhe. Mohamed Ali kwa kuleta Hoja hii Bungeni. Ningependa pia kukosoa kidogo. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Ningependa kurekebisha Kiongozi wa Walio Wengi kwa kusema kuwa Mheshimiwa Ali ameleta Hoja hii kwa njia inayokiuka Katiba. Kipengele cha 119 kinaruhusu kila mtu kuleta Mswada au marekebisho yoyote ambayo yanagusia sehemu fulani kisheria. Kwa hivyo, Hoja hii iko hapa kisheria na iko kwa njia ambayo inastahili. Kwa hivyo, Kiongozi wa Walio Wengi Bungeni anapotosha watu hapa. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to speak earlier on because my name was being used as an example of the Members of Parliament who happen to be in this House courtesy of the purported small parties. At the outset, I support the Report because in my view this is a step towards the right direction, however we are not yet there. What Hon. Members call ‘bigger political parties’, in my view, are not. I wish we could be honest to ourselves. Political parties in this country are personal properties. Some of the political parties that people call ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The party that brought me to this House, the Kenya National Congress (KNC), even upon the exit of the party leader, Mr. Peter Kenneth, still stands. That is why there are MPs in this House under that party. We have about 40 Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) across the country. If in 2022 the briefcase parties called Jubilee or ODM are rebranded in other names, the persons holding those briefcases will have so many followers. So, in my view... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: No, that is Kenya Social Congress (KSC). The KNC is one of the oldest parties. It was registered in 1982. If you ask if there is any Member of this House who is in a party that was registered in the 1990s, you will find one. This is the biggest party, and it is not a briefcase party as they purport. The party has had several leaders but even upon their exit, we still have people getting to this House through it. Even as we keep talking about funding major political parties as they call them, which I dispute, we ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: at least one member to the House should be funded. This is because we have offices to run as political parties. As you have seen, the purported major parties come to the purported small parties during the campaigns. That time they use all manner of terms to convince them to support them. I have seen Hon. Duale dismiss the small parties and I saw their party running up and down seeking the support of those small parties for them to retain the presidency. I saw ODM running up and down looking for the purported smaller parties and right now they ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I need to be very clear. I really wish that Hon. Washiali was honest at least once. He knows Hon. Washiali cannot whip Members by himself. He cannot actually wake up in the morning and decide to whip. He will have to get instructions from the party leader and that is the truth. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Okay, I withdraw that statement. As I conclude, I want to say that in as much as we are supporting the Report, we need to now go an extra mile. I was actually giving a challenge to the relevant committee and even this House that we need to go an extra mile. For democracy to grow, we need to stop personalising political parties and allow expansion of various parties. We need to support even those purported small parties by giving them funding. Let a person vie from whichever party they wish to vie from because at the end of the ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, these purported major parties should be honest. They have received money from the Political Parties Fund. They need to be honest with themselves and share. If it is NASA, share with the other political parties that were with you. Do not say: “Now that we were short-changed, we will also short-change you.” They should share this money with the other parties that were with them. If it is the Jubilee Party, we saw His Excellency the President wearing caps of different small parties. The Jubilee Party should equally share the money with the other smaller parties so that they ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to equally mourn Hon. Nyarangi. I just took note that North Mugirango happens to be in Nyamira County while South Mugirango is in Kisii County. On behalf of Kisii County, Members of Parliament, and South Mugirango Community, I want to condole with the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
