• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to thank the Mover.

• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Bill that has amendments incorporating the counties now that everything in this country is devolved. Every Kenyan is entitled to a clean and healthy environment. However, what has been happening is that everybody has been doing what he or she wants. There has been a lot of environmental pollution, dumping and littering. Waste disposal is not taken care of at all levels. The Bill now takes care of all that. The law on environmental conservation has not been enforced well; enforcement by NEMA has been very poor under the existing law. There have been a lot of issues in waste ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I also wish to join my colleagues in supporting the Bill. This Bill is timely. The Bill is part of the Constitution that is geared to take care of human rights whenever you are deprived of liberty or freedom. However, what we are lacking in our prisons and places of custody is management or supervision.
