2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me make it clear that some of us come to the House to take part in the afternoon discussions. If you want the Question to be put like Hon. Pukose did – I know he is busy. He wants to go to Kabuchai and Matungu. He is part of the group that is leading our team there. He has done a good job. Protection of the older members of the society is fundamental. It is provided in the Constitution. One day, all of us sitting here will join that category of our citizens. All of us ...

for you to go to paradise, you must take care of your older parents. Let us not ape the western culture where when your parents get old, you take them to old persons’ centers.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Pukose is misbehaving. Even if he raised the highest crowd for the Deputy President over the weekend, that does not give him an excuse to misbehave in the House.

He has done well in Trans Nzoia. Let me finish. Protecting the older members of the society is part of protecting family values. I stand for family values, hustlers and the less privileged members of the society.

2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, let us take matters of Members and matters of Kenyans in this House very seriously. I was in this House when a serious debate on this matter by Hon. Kamket took place and the substantive Speaker gave directions. The matter of Kapedo is very serious. Let me now speak not only as the Member for Garissa Township but also as the patron of Pastoralists Parliamentary Group. If there is a culture in this country of treating pastoralist areas different from other areas, we should be told. I have a lot of respect for the Chair. He is ...

2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
Thursday is as per your direction, but this matter was before this House earlier. That is why we have Private Members’ Questions and ordinary Questions. There are matters that the House must treat with urgency and Hon. Kaluma is aware of that. The Chairman’s absence does not mean that any member of the Committee or the leadership of the House cannot deal with this matter. I feel that the people of Kapedo are not getting justice from this House. We need to speak to it. Come Thursday, we do not need stories. That must go into The Hansard .

25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2) (c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing regarding the construction of Isiolo-Garissa- Wajir-Mandera Road. Hon. Speaker, the construction of the Isiolo-Garissa-Wajir-Mandera Road was earmarked to commence soon after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KenHA) finalised submission of bids for the North Eastern Transport Improvement Project (NETIP) funded by the World Bank/Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA)/ Public-Private-Partnership under the Annuity Programme. The said project which covers 748kilometres at a cost of USD451 million was to ...

National Highways Authority has indicated that the said project is divided into nine implementable lots, at different stages of design, tendering and construction. Hon. Speaker, currently, the said road is un-motorable and in a very deplorable state occasioning long travel hours, breakdown of vehicles and high maintenance costs. It is of great concern that this deplorable state of the road has negatively and adversely affected the economy of the region, including those transporting relief food and perishable commodities especially during the rainy seasons. It is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee ...

25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, you need to guide us. This matter is in the Order Paper and we are prepared for all these Bills. We are prepared for the Refugee Bill, the Employment Bill, the Health (Amendment) Bill, the Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill and any other. The House and the majority of us are prepared. It is, therefore, not in order for a single Member - with a lot of respect, Hon. Millie Odhiambo - to ask for harmonisation. The matter is now before the House. The House will decide whether the amendment is from the Committee ...

25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker. First of all, I thank you because you have made a very good ruling. All reports that are tabled here have your signature. Now, we have a Report and annexures which are coming. So, which is which? The Report that we picked was the one that you appended your signature. It was tabled and Notice of Motion was given. I had prepared myself to debate this matter. I have said it and will say it again when I am contributing that going forward, we must amend the Treaty Making and Ratification Act. I read this thing and the ...
