20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
That is why if, for example, you go to northern Kenya and many parts of our country, you will find that in the 60s and 70s, there were companies that went to drill oil and where they could not find oil and gas, they ended up working with other companies. So, they ended up dumping toxic waste in the fur-flung pastoralist areas. You can mention BB Shell during that time and all those other companies. That is why today you see in North Horr, Marsabit and Wajir thousands of animals die after drinking water from boreholes and water pans. That ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I finish, a journalist called me today and told me that there is a group of Members of Parliament who are called “Young Parliamentarians”. He said that they are complaining because they are not given an opportunity to debate in the House. I asked him where those Members were. We are moving a very important Bill. Looking at my age and experience, I am not one of the young parliamentarians. If you are not here now and you were not here before when we were dealing with the mediated version of the Physical Planning Bill, ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Koinange Street only works at night and businesses are run here during the day. It looks like Hon. Sankok knows the timings and how it operates. Hon. Millie Odhiambo who is one of our ranking Members is here in the House. She is always here and I am here. Hon. Kimunya, Hon. Sankok, Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal, our panel’s Chair, Member for Makueni, Member for Kibwezi, Hon. Angwenyi, Hon. Gikaria, Hon. Fatuma and many other Members are here. Who are these young parliamentarians who go to the media to say that they do not talk because they do not get a ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
This is a very important Bill. It provides how to deal with nuclear security. You have seen that nuclear security is becoming international these days. You have seen that young man of North Korea. The whole world respects him. President Trump travels all the way to Singapore to see him because he has nuclear weapons. He sometimes says that he will meet President Trump under his terms. Terrorists use nuclear weapons. The face of terrorism has now gone to another level. That is why Iran has a problem in that region. We are always ahead of our neighbours. Let us ...

As I finish, I really want to thank Hon. Osoro for what he did yesterday. I do not want to go into the details, but he exercised his legislative powers to make laws, but not to review salaries. I beg to move and ask Hon. Gikaria, the Member for Nakuru Town East, and a very seasoned Chair, to second.

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the media can do better than that. It should go to the HANSARD and get the names of those Members who do not speak in the House. That should be a headline which will make them come and speak in the House. They should not send me a journalist to make a comment. When he asked me, I told him to use the HANSARD to see the Members who contribute in the House. Every Member speaks in the House. They can be having a language problem. The problem with the Kenyan Parliament is that you can ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have heard what Hon. Osoro who is representing the young Members of Parliament has said. You cannot indict the Speaker of the National Assembly. This is the problem. When you are a new Member of Parliament, you learn the ropes and stay in the House. You cannot indict the Hon. Speaker. You are saying that the Hon. Speaker denies them an opportunity to contribute. I want you to ask him to tell us these sensitive matters. We know that every legislation discussed here is important. We are not the National Intelligence Service (NIS) or the ...

(NSC). We do not discuss sensitive issues, but legislations like the Nuclear Regulatory Bill and Physical Planning Bill. Can you ask him what is sensitive, and withdraw for imputing improper motives on our Hon. Speaker? If he does not do that, I will name him next Tuesday and he knows the consequences.

19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, after Hon. Wario has spoken, I do not think with a budget of Kshs2.7 trillion this afternoon, we should argue on a matter as small as Kshs420 million. Again, concerning our girls, we do not look serious discussing a little amount given to sanitary pads. In the community where I come from, we do not discuss such things.

Whether it is in the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender, we should not discuss such a thing.
