• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I wish to thank you very much and I also want to thank hon. Kinoti, for bringing this Motion on a subject that I am very passionate about. I know that most of us and especially myself, I am who I am now because other people somewhere sacrificed for my education. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: When we talk about education and especially education for our poor children, it is the only tool that lifts people out of poverty. Education remains a mirage and a great challenge too, to children from poor households, especially girls. I know as well as the Chair knows that the future of our country – this country Kenya- and the future of our view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to hon. Members it is clear that this country has not done a lot to protect and promote athletes in this country. It is a clear fact that Kenya dominates the world of sports, particularly athletics. I support the idea of us having a mechanism through which we can track the whereabouts of our athletes. It is very unfortunate that we watch races in which there are Kenyans representing other countries like Qatar and Uganda; you feel extremely bad. Athletics is a talent that should be harnessed more in this country. In fact, athletics ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to this very important Motion. Security in this country once again is not a favour. Security for all Kenyans is very well in the Constitution.

• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I talk about this especially because I also come from an area and a constituency that has for a long time never known peace – Kuria East. It is very shameful that even as we look at the projections and the budget of this country that goes to security, we still are not able to contain insecurity in this country. It is a very big shame that it is happening now. Every part of this country is mourning for lack of peace. That is a very serious matter that the Government of this country should consider ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are areas of this country where police officers have been for as long as 10 years. A police officer serves in an area for more than 10 years, he is tried, very ill equipped and is not very well remunerated. Police officers cannot offer services if they are not well equipped, if their vehicles do not have gas and if their vehicles are not in good condition. I want to urge that the Government looks at areas where police officers have overstayed so that they can be transferred to other areas. These are the people ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to talk about the issue of cattle rustling. Cattle rustling is the main cause of insecurity, especially in pastoralist communities. We need to address cattle rustling very very seriously even if it means that the Government looks at alternative solutions like incomes and livelihoods that can substitute for the cattle that are reared so that we are able to contain peace and promote development in this country. view
