• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: In recent weeks, we have seen a number of schools that have been torched. Whenever something happens in one of the schools and nothing is done to bring the culprits or whoever has been involved in that incident, other boys try to imitate and do what other boys have done. This is part of the growing up. It is my wish that as a country and as a House, we need to do something urgently to make sure that we address this issue of safety in our schools. One of the ways to improve the safety in our boarding schools ... view

• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: which we are talking about, is one of the most vital documents in this country today. Last year, students were not being registered to sit for the national examinations if they did not have a birth certificate. You can image the trauma and pain parents went through to acquire this document so that their children could be registered in good time to sit for the national examinations. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: This opened a corruption window because if you wanted to expedite your document in good time there were many cartels and brokers who come in between saying they can get the document for you within the shortest time possible. Many parents were desperate and they went through that process to acquire this vital document. Today, for you to acquire an ID or be issued with a passport you must have a birth certificate. For you to be issued with a death certificate, you must produce a birth certificate to demonstrate that you acquired an ID. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: You can imagine the importance of this document, in this country. It has gone to another level. Late last year, a new directive was issued by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology that students and pupils, whether in class one, sitting for the national examinations or high school, must have a birth certificate for them to be registered as students. You can imagine, we have over three million students who have not been registered and yet they are required to do so. We appreciate the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government through the Principal Secretary for Immigration ... view

• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee needs to relook into this matter and give the ERC the mandate it requires and give it full authority to take charge of the energy sector as they feel like. Furthermore, we have been discussing the issue of adulteration here. Kenyans have been conned. Kenyans have been messed up. Vehicles have been messed up because of adulteration of petroleum products where unscrupulous business people have used kerosene to adulterate super petrol and diesel. It is not because of the difference on international prices. When you look at the international price of petrol vis-a-vis the international price of ... view
