• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. It touches a lot on devolution support in that these monies we are now discussing are going to help the activities of devolution. Devolution has been seen as the key parameter to our development. Since devolution started in Kenya, a lot has changed in terms of development. Therefore, it is our interests, the interest of this country, the interest of the people of Kenya, that we make sure that monies meant to go to counties go to counties as per the scheduled times. Delays in sending money to counties lead ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also take this opportunity, first of all, to offer my condolences to the people of Nyeri and the family of the late governor and to Kenya as a whole. I support this Motion. In the area I come from, there is very big movement of people from the pastoral set-ups to the urban centres. This is maybe due to climate change, the drought that has affected the people and loss of livestock as a result of drought and other catastrophes. All of a sudden, there is mass movement of people from the pastoral ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I have really waited for it for long. First and foremost, I am very happy to hear that the Senate has passed the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill. I was a Member of that Committee. We really toiled late into the night to make sure that we come up with a law for posterity and not for the forthcoming repeat election. It is a law for future generations. I am happy to learn that it is now almost law because it is just waiting for the President’s assent. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: The break we are about to start is very ideal. Some of us who come from far-flung constituencies, over 1,000 kilometers from here, will benefit from the break because we will go back to the people in our constituencies to establish the necessary offices and infrastructure. We need to make service delivery effective. Wanjiku should be able to see our faces as we continue to support her. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: During this campaign period, we need to ensure that we create an enabling environment for businesses. This habit of demonstrations three times a week or five times a week is going to kill the economy of this country. It is really paralysing us. Even us, as Members of Parliament, get our salaries from the taxes paid by those businessmen out there. If we paralyse those businesses and at the end of the month we expect to be paid a salary, then that is very unfortunate. Can we go out there and ensure that we create an enabling environment for our ... view

• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: the drought and also prepare for the rains. When livestock becomes too weak, the biggest disaster occurs during the onset of the first heavy rains and so we need to put adequate plans in place. Therefore, it is very timely that we are going back home to talk to our people, to sit with them, assess the effects of the drought and prepare for the rains. Some of us who come from very far areas, even these three weeks might not be enough. Essentially, we are going for recess for the elections, but there are many other things that we ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I stand to support the amendment. I am a Member of the Committee and we deliberated on this matter very much.
