• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Bill because I am pleased that the idea of scheduled crops is being done away with.

• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute but, first, I would like to raise a point of order. Is it in order for hon. Shakeel to mislead the House that people in view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Bill because I am a firm believer in Constitutionality. The Constitution of Kenya guarantees freedom of association. I do not believe that subsidiary legislation should be put in place to limit Kenyans’ ability to interact and associate with one another. The nature of politics and statehood is fluid and Kenyans and their leaders should be free to associate with any party they wish. Parties are not religions or whatever, especially in Kenya where the identity of a party is the party leader. There is no ideology or difference in the manifestoes. For people ... view

• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a trend of levying duties on exports of raw materials like cashew nuts and now hides and skins ostensibly to protect local industries. Does that work where your imports are liberalized and your exports are controlled? If you have a liberal economy then it should be liberalized both ways.
