24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir I think the Member of Parliament is very wrong by quoting somebody who is bigger than the President in this country, and the country itself. Nobody is bigger than the country itself.

24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support. First I would like to make it very clear that I am a member of Chama cha Uzalendo (CCU). It is only Mr. Imanyara and I who are Members of Parliament on that party ticket. Dr. Lumumba resigned from the party. He was our Secretary- General not even the chairman. This shows that people have got very wrong information about P.L.O here. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see some discrimination here. We do not have to choose a leader because they come from a certain tribe. Patrick Lumumba is a ...

24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just quoting. I think Kiswahili is also a Kenyan language. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very saddened by Members of Parliament here who have been elected by the people.

Before the interruption, I was saying that we must ensure that the new Constitution addresses the issues of ethnicity and tribalism, abortion and ensure that there are adequate checks and balances within the different organs. Abuse in any form should not be allowed.

30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a clause providing for the recalling of Members of Parliament. I know that what I want to suggest may not be popular with the public, but if we allow that clause in the new Constitution, the country will always be in a campaign mood. If somebody loses an election, he will go and mobilise the people on the ground to recall the sitting Member of Parliament. If you are re-called, you will go and mobilise the people on the ground to recall the one who replaced you. So, we need to look at this ...
