• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: When we come out and start saying that these candidates were representing criminals, it is like saying that a doctor who is treating a patient who has HIV/AIDS or another disease should not be allowed to do something else! They were just doing their job! view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us rise to occasion; this House is supposed to be the engine of the nation; this House is supposed to encourage our people, that if they work hard and if they are fair, they can be anything that they want to be. Let us not kill the talents that we have; let us promote those young people in this country who are set to help this country move forward. If we cannot have Lumumba as the Director of the KACC, then let us be prepared to go backwards, because I do not see ... view

• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate Eng. Maina for this very worthy Bill that he has brought to the House. I also want to concur with my colleagues that it is extremely important that the Minister ensures that the President assents to this Bill. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: As a House and a nation, we have failed to take care of the vast majority of this country who live under the poverty line. I want to support the sentiments of Ms. Karua that the Government is sleeping on the job. It is about time that most essential goods that are utilized by our people like food, oil and other things are controlled because Kenyans cannot afford them. Our people have no employment and we must take care of them. A nation which cannot take care of its people; a Government that cannot take care of its vast majority ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to continue. I am contributing from where I left. As in all Committees of Parliament, our Committee derives its mandate from Standing No.198. This Standing Order mandates us to investigate and inquire on all matters of management, operation and administration. These are matters to do with the public. It is extremely important for this House to realize that it is the engine of our nation. Our primary duty is to ensure that fairness, accountability and transparency are practised in our public institutions. Those of us who hold positions of power must ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is wrong for the Member to mislead this House. There is nowhere we have insinuated the issue of ethnicity. What this Committee is saying is that we give fairness to all Kenyans. Is the hon. Member in order to bring in tribal sentiments in order to garner support? view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. As a Member of the Parliamentary Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, I want to support this Motion strongly for so many reasons. One is that the Committee sat for many man hours, deliberated on this issue and came up with recommendations to this House. One of the reasons the Committee is asking the House to pass this Motion is that we realized that in appointing the Managing Director of Kenya Airports Authority, the due process was not followed. It was irregular and, ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House must not be seen to protect impunity. It does not matter from which corners it comes from. I think it is the responsibility of this House to ensure that whatever is done, especially in public offices, the due process is followed. I think this House has a duty of ensuring that we create equal opportunity for all Kenyans of whatever colour, religion and cadre. Equal opportunity must be seen to be exercised. In this case, it is quite evident that Kenyans were not given an equal opportunity to apply for this job. I ... view
