• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the outset I want to support the Motion but I want to object to the amendment moved by hon. Dr. Nuh. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Yes; thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.I want this august House to listen to me very attentively, because I am going to make a very passionate appeal. We are all Kenyans and we know the history of this country. At one point people in North Eastern Province decided to secede from Kenya and join Somalia. My father was the first person to object to us going to Somalia. What he said is known by every Somali, that the only good thing from the east where Somalia is, is the sun and we did not want to join Somalia. Yet at the ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not going to argue with somebody who does not know history. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, out of respect of the Chair, I withdraw and apologise. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not finished. I have said that all over the world, boundaries are features. It is a fact that the boundary of Garissa, and hon. Farah and hon. Noor is here--- view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the name “Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission” (IEBC) suggests that this Commission deals with boundaries. There is nowhere in the Constitution where it says that their mandate is only limited to the counties. They deal with all the boundaries. On this premise, all I am asking is that justice should be done. We should be treated like Kenyans and be allowed to have access to the river just like the people of Tana River have, so that the boundary becomes the river. I rest my case. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that some hon. Members are trying to superintend the work of this Parliament. When a Member stands here to castigate a Committee which has fulfilled its mandate by doing its work, I do not think that augurs well for this country. If anybody has any objection, it is better for him to raise it without castigating the Committee. The new Constitution talks about giving people their right. When some people are trying to deny others their right because they are the majority, it will be very unfortunate. I, therefore, want to appeal ... view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the corrigenda is dealing with the issue I am raising here. It is addressing the rights of those people who feel that they have been denied their rights simply because they are considered to be minorities. The Constitution talks about marginalization and the rights of other people. Therefore, people should not accuse members of the Committee simply because they come from certain areas. view
• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same hon. Member who is speaking here told me he will oppose this Motion because the corrigenda was brought by a Committee before which he did not have an opportunity to present his own case. Therefore, it is unfortunate that he does not know what he is doing. view
• 21 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to second the Motion. Personally for the first time in the history of my Parliamentary career for the last 14 years, I have not been able to go to my constituency for one and half months. This is because of the duty that we are doing for this nation. Therefore, I feel strongly we need this break to be able to join our people who elected us. view
