• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I am glad that when he was answering questions before the Committee, his response on the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), was that the DCI is under a different section of the law and that the DCI is allowed by law to investigate corruption and other issues even though the EACC is supposed to do the same, but on different tracks. So, when some of our colleagues want to bring a Bill to change the law so that the DCI does not investigate corruption, we will be going in the wrong direction. The ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Regarding gender-based violence, which the Leader of the Majority Party has talked about, Mr. Mutyambai should follow it up, as he said. We need each police station in the country to have a dedicated gender-based violence desk where ladies and children who have been defiled or violence meted on them can report and not be subjected to ridicule in front of people. They need to have a separate desk in a separate room, if it is possible, for reporting so that they can report their issues. They should not report these issues in public where they are ridiculed. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I agree with the choice of the nominee for the position of the IG of Police. There is need for him to look at police officers who lose their lives in the line of duty. In the last Parliament, I asked a Question concerning one gentleman from my constituency who lost his son and it had taken more than eight years for his family to be compensated. It is good to follow up on compensation for people who have been felled in the line of duty. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I want the next IG to look at roadblocks. Along the Meru to Nairobi Road or to Nanyuki there are many roadblocks. The IG should reduce them. There is a roadblock after every one to two kilometres. What do they do? We are worried that if this is going to be the trend, we will not be giving the right service to the people. Let roadblocks be mounted by one wing of the police service. At the moment, a roadblock is mounted by traffic police officers and in another two or three kilometres, you get another one by the regular ... view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate my brother and neighbour, Mhe. Murugara, even though we are fighting over boundaries. However, I join others in supporting this Motion on village elders. It is true that in 2016 we passed in this Parliament what we are supposed to give elders. Prior to that, in the year 2014, I spoke to my Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) and I was going to make the village elders from the sub-areas some uniforms. However, I was informed that the Government will be doing something about it. Some of my colleagues have ... view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: census. I wish the CS Rotich can include them in this Budget which he is going to read in June so that we can cater for them. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you and support my brother. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the qualifications and capability of M/s. Intex Construction Company Limited to undertake the construction of Mate Road in North Imenti Constituency which has been ongoing for the last 7 years? (ii) What steps has the Ministry undertaken to ensure that the said road is completed on time? (iii) Could the Ministry consider terminating and blacklisting the company on account of not meeting the contractual obligations? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I see the ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Labour and Social Protection the following Question: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that older citizens in North Imenti Constituency in possession of identification cards with seven digits or less are unable to enrol in the Older Persons Cash Transfer Programme? b) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure those older citizens are enrolled and receive their monthly stipend? c) When will the older citizens who are already in the programme be paid their arrears and how are the new persons registered and those who have ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to go the second Petition by my neighbour, Mheshimiwa Murugara. It is good the Member has brought this Petition where he implores that the Zachary Ogongo Report should be implemented. But he should be mindful that the Zachary Ogongo Reports does not just cover one section. As we stand, the constituents of the Hon. Member for Tharaka have expanded into the whole of Meru County. They are not in just one constituency but many. So, the Zachary Ogongo taskforce Report should be implemented in full, not just for one sub-location or location. ... view
