• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have not evicted people. However, if we shall encroach on anybody’s land, at least we shall show him or her where to go. view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very different Question that I need to investigate. view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know anything about the issue of money. I like calling a spade, a spade. I would like to be honest that I have no idea about the money. view
• 30 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish I was dressed like him on this occasion because when the Speaker sits there, he dresses in the traditional manner. Consequently, for the members of the legal profession, they follow the same footsteps; they dress in the way he is dressed. So, I am just envying him. I should have put with my wig on but I am just dressed in a suit. I think he is properly dressed! view
• 30 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This House is about making laws. This House is not about surgeries in hospitals. It is not about denying people their rightful issues, conjugal rights and so on. view

The people who are learned in law; who can authoritatively interpret the law and who can guide you on the issues of the law, can be dressed in the manner that they normally dress.

• 30 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, lawyers are lawyers. They are not doctors, engineers, butchers or businessmen. We are here about making law. The comparison of this House to the House of Commons is misleading because this House is a single Chamber. This means that it is a combination of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

• 30 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I feel I must stand up to support this Motion. I am saying so, as a person who has been involved and seen evolution of the workings of the electoral systems in Kenya. As the Report clearly states, in 1991, the elections were actually conducted by the Supervisor of Elections, which was an office under me. He was my official with the rank of Under Secretary-General. Where the report goes slightly wrong and I want to correct them on the history of this, it was not a constitutional amendment of 1991, which ... view
• 30 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that you may be highly professional, a graduate and everything, but unless you have high moral character and integrity, then that comes to nothing as far as the electoral commission is concerned. Therefore, I am pleased with the assurance given by the Committee that, that aspect was also looked into; not just a qualification, but also a high moral character and integrity of the persons involved.

• 23 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the issue on the Order Paper today is not to know who should be the Head of Government. The agenda of our debate today is to have the list of the Membership of the House Business Committee. It is not the duty of this House to know who is the Government.
