• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am on a point of order. I would like to seek your guidance because I know there are so many Members of Parliament who would wish to contribute to this Motion but, since there are quite a number of people, I was wondering if you could restrict Members to speak for five minutes. Thank you. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to thank the Mover of this Motion, Hon. Zuleikha Juma, who has done a good job in bringing this Motion at the right time. As we all know, at this point in time, we are all being watched on television screens. So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the youths who have stood by my fellow Members of Parliament. Our hearts go out to them because they really try very hard. I would like to bring some statistics before this House. Youths aged 15 to 24 years ... view

• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be very quick because I want to bring this to the attention of the House. Is the hon. Member in order to confuse this House and the nation that we are not actually saving money, when we have actually spent time in saving 30 per cent with is Kshs1.3 billion in our country? Can he respond to that? view

• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, like my fellow colleagues, I was almost giving up in having a say in this very important Motion. I believe each and every one of us in this House knows somebody or has a relative who has passed away because of that very serious disease. I would like to start by quoting from our Constitution, the chapter that talks about human dignity. That disease is so bad that it kills a human being very slowly. We all know that we are going to pass on one day; move on to God but the moment a ... view

We understand that he is a Muslim and we respect him from where he comes. view
• 2 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. I think he is confused. Thank you very much for seeing me. I wholeheartedly oppose this Motion for the reasons that--- You see, we are missing the point, which is discipline. If somebody has to do something by a certain time, he has to do it by that time. You cannot tell me that I passed an examination, which I was supposed to sit yesterday, and I have passed it. That is because I should have failed it. So, the 500 per cent penalty might be too high. But the point is that the system must be followed. ... view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, as you can see apart from being new, I do not know how to use these buttons. My names are hon. Sunjeev Kour Birdi. I am honored to be a nominated Member of Parliament from the United Republican Party (URP). Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like to bring a few things into perspective. There are two things that are very close to my heart. One is corruption and the other one is health. I mention corruption because apparently corruption has become a tradition in our country. A colleague mentioned something about the private sector. The reason the ... view
