• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the oportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I rise to support the Motion for Adjournment. While doing so, let me highlight some of the main issues of the Tenth Parliament. We started on a wrong footing in 2008, when our country turned violent following the general elections. However, we have since made a major milestone together as a House. First, the Tenth Parliament entered into the history books as the Parliament that ushered in the new Constitution. We accomplished what many parliaments before us were unable to achieve. ... view

• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister has spoken very well about the situation in Somalia and I join him in congratulating our soldiers for a job well done. However, could he indicate to the House whether he has any plan of making impromptu visits to our soldiers in Somalia to boost their morale? That has been done in other countries facing the same situation. He does not have to tell us when he will do it due to insecurity, but it will be good if he can plan to do so. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was reported that the Prime Minister visited the Kenya Olympic Village in London and interacted with officials and athletes to boost their morale.

• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to add my voice and comment on this Bill. First, we agree that this is probably the single most important Bill on the Government in the entire Constitution. It will give life to Chapter 6 of the Constitution. It is supposed to be informed by the provision of various regional and international institutions, to which Kenya is a party such as the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption, the United Nations Convention against Corruption as well as the United Nations International Code of Conduct for Public Officials. I want to take ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your protection. In Clauses 32, 33 and 34, State officers are required to conduct private affairs in a manner that maintains public confidence in the integrity of the office and pay taxes when due on time. However, State officers who will include the Members of Parliament are now obliged to financial or legal obligation as a qualification for good leadership. To those who want to hold State offices, including us; the Members of Parliament, the Bill proposes that we must be above board. There are those who are saying that the Bill ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill fails to provide for a mechanism that could allow the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to prosecute cases of breach of Chapter 6 where the Director of Public Prosecution is used to prosecute without good cause as expected under Article 79 of the Constitution. Finally, in Clause 4, the Bill confers the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission a new and huge task. It provides that the Commission is responsible for overseeing and enforcing the implementation of this Act. Is this the same Commission that is said to be experiencing view
• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we understand death only after it has passed with the hand of someone we love. So much has been said about our two great fallen colleagues, both of whom I have utmost respect for. We will always remember fondly the experience we had with our departed colleagues, hon. Saitoti and hon. Ojode. There are no words with which to describe the grief that we all have right now. Most importantly, we cannot possibly imagine the shock and sorrow that has been thrust on the families of the deceased, especially on the families of the four patriots. Therefore, ... view
