• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We have a major problem of corruption in Kenya. I heard someone saying that corruption has become cancer. I thought that is very bad because, instead of treating cancer so that we can eliminate it, we are now equating it to corruption. That is very bad for the cancer patients in this country who are suffering. We are equating them to corruption. We need to find out where that money is so that we can re-invest it in cancer institutions, training and spreading cancer centres across the country, so that patients are treated. We also have palliative care because after ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We have issues about food. We need to know that genetically-modified food such as maize which is coming into our country is one of the causes of cancer. As we know, diet is one of the major issues that is affecting and increasing cancer cases. We need to ask ourselves, as we license the production of genetically modified products in the market and import products that have a lot of chemicals without properly checking, verifying and scrutinizing, if we are doing the right thing. Failure to do that will only increase the burden of cancer cases in this country. As ... view

• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Supplementary Appropriation Bill that has been moved by the Chairman so that it can be debated. I want to start by thanking the Members who are here today. They have sacrificed their time to make sure that the Bill is debated and passed.

• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Mumias Sugar Company has had a turnaround strategy which will make it succeed. We request this House to help it by approving the Kshs2 billion that it requires. At the same time, the people who stole the money should be followed so that the money can be recovered from them. The company should also get proper management to handle the money that we will allocate it so that the people of Mumias can benefit. The President is good because he says that he will serve people irrespective of who voted for him. I know that the people of Mumias did ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My neighbour is complaining that he has not got a chance, but I am happy. The President‟s Address was marvellous, on target and addressed the issues that Kenyans wanted to hear at the moment. I want to start with corruption because I have little time. The President was right to bring that list in this House so that we know who is giving us problems in handling our economy. We have a lot of issues. Everybody has been complaining that the President is not dealing with corruption, but this time he came out. Let ... view

• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to thank hon. Kamama. When we were closing the last Session, he was a bit hostile on the amendments, but he has had a change of heart and I want to thank him. The amendments were going to cripple the Commission because they were going to make sure that the Cabinet Secretary takes full control of making decisions and giving permission. Because this has been deleted, I want to thank and support the amendment. view
