23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of myself, my family and the people of Garissa Township, I wish to send my condolences to the people of Juja Constituency and to the family of our late colleague and brother, Hon. “Wakapee” as he was known in this House. I had a very special relationship with Hon. Wakapee and his death has really touched me. Hon. Wakapee was an active Member of this House. He used to sit behind me, where the current Leader of the Majority Party used to sit. I want to say without any fear of contradiction that him ...

Finally, I was in many WhatsApp groups of Members of Parliament. They were shocked at the number of deaths that we have had. In the last ten days alone, we have lost three Members including the late Hon. Senator Yusuf Haji, our colleague, Hon. Oroo and now Hon. Waititu. This Parliament has had the highest number of Members of Parliament who have died while serving the people. I speak for the 10th, 11th and the 12th Parliaments. During this period of COVID-19 pandemic, it is good to note that just because we are Members of Parliament and our death can ...

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research regarding the provision of school desks to various learning institutions in the country under the Economic Stimulus Programme.

The allocations were under the Kshs53.7 billion eight-point economic stimulus package unveiled by His Excellency the President in May 2020 to alleviate the effects of the Corona pandemic on the economy and ...

Hon. Speaker, as I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party’s position, this matter has been in this House for some time. The reason we are very much concerned, in my opinion and in the opinion of the House, is that this might be the highest definition of impunity—that a nominee for a State office as sensitive as that of an Ambassador can be approved on a condition, that for you to get the job you must renounce your other citizenship. The question that bothers all of us, as we give the Leader of the Majority Party time, is: ...
