• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: constituencies. We need that money to begin helping our youth and women so that they participate in the development of our country. Hon. Speaker, with those remarks, my appeal to my colleagues is that we accept the amendments by the Senate so that we move forward and have the Fund rolling for the betterment and benefit of the young people and the mothers of Kenya. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. The maximum time given to this Motion is three hours. The Mover is given only 20 minutes. This means that most of the time will be given to Members to make their contributions. Twenty Minutes for the Mover is, indeed, reasonable time in my view. This is because a Motion really addresses very important issues of concern to a Member. To limit that Member from 20 minutes to 10 minutes would deny him or her a chance to comprehensively address the issues. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, 10 minutes for a Member is, in my view, sufficient. If you reduce it to five minutes, my opinion is that you deny that very Member a chance to comprehensively raise the issues that he wanted to raise as he debates the Motion.

• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want to agree with hon. Members that we have had a serious problem that because of the numbers in the House now most Members do not have time to contribute. I think the proposal that you have given to this House this morning that efforts are being made to create more opportunities for these Members to have a chance is the right way to go. I was in the Tenth Parliament where I served as the Assistant Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs. At that time, we were able to give direct undertakings to Members of this House.

• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: On the Procedural Motion, my proposal and my appeal to my colleagues here is that we allow the three hours so that the Mover of that Motion will have enough time. Members of the House will equally and adequately address the Motion. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to support this Motion as it is and congratulate you for the assurance to the House that efforts are being made to give opportunity to Members to address their issues in a better and comprehensive way. view

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, you made a ruling on this matter and it was a very explicit and clear ruling. A few minutes ago, you also gave directions on this matter. After giving directions, you allowed again hon. Kaluma to raise certain issues which is good because I know how accommodative you are as our Speaker. However, my plea is that we cannot change what is very clear in the Constitution. We have a lot before us and I plead to the Chair that we move to the next stage because we are spending a lot of time on an ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to support hon. Serem’s amendment. The reason is that it is not fair to give special treatment to some of the members of the board. We are creating an impression where we are saying that it is mandatory for others to be available for a quorum to be met. In so doing, we are setting a very serious precedent. It is important that all members of the board are given equal treatment so that if they are available in terms of quorum then they should proceed. Otherwise, those two institutions will hold ... view
