• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, mine is to say that let us use this break to recharge ourselves and to allow these tempers like I have now to cool so that we can engage ourselves in a sober and level headed manner. At the end of the day, I think the interest of this House is the people of the Republic of Kenya. If we were to work together, I have no doubt that we will find a solution that will take Kenya forward. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you for this opportunity to contribute to this particular Motion. I would like, first and foremost, to congratulate the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for the speed at which they have been working since they were reconstituted.

• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate that but the truth of the matter still remains. If it is the question of ability and commitment, it should always be the person who is number one who is selected. There can be no other reason in a society if what we are looking for is the best that we have in the country and that is the word that was used. He is the best that we have.

Member has himself raised, so that we know how to proceed. From the Ministry’s point of view, we are still willing to appear before the PAC. view
