• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I want to address three things. I agree that the President has brought out critical issues on development, namely, the LAPSSET, the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport upgrade, 10,000 kilometres of roads to be constructed and the connection of 18,000 schools to electricity. Many projects are coming along and the Government is working. The nation should move forward with those projects. view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I am concerned that corruption in this country has not been addressed properly. We had the radical surgery in the Judiciary. People like Justice Ringera and P.L.O. Lumumba tried to deal with corruption and we now have Mumo Matemu, who has brought this list. My concern is that the President has given his political good will, but what about institutions which are supposed to support the step that he has taken? If you look at the list, you will find that more than 50 cases are still under investigation. Some were reported in 2011 and others in 2013, but they ... view

• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am happy to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank hon. Okoth for bringing it. It is an urgent matter in terms of how we deal with it. As we address it in this House, many children are still at home because public schools in this country are more expensive than universities. If you go to Alliance High School, Nairobi School and Lenana School, their school fees range between Ksh70,000 and Ksh98,000. The Members of this House are aware of the specific costs because we are paying school fees through our Constituencies ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Motion. This House and the nation is in agreement that we need to improve and work on our security. But our officers or the security agencies need to be properly facilitated through equipment, technology and training which my good friend has also alluded to. These recommendations speak for themselves to that end; that security surveillance shall take a new turn in Nairobi and in Mombasa once those equipment are procured. The concerns that have been raised here were critically evaluated and analyzed by the Committee. We went through several ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I want to ignore hon. Ng’ongo because he is confirming that the CORD leader could have been part of the team that attacked the Lamu region. Otherwise, I do not see why he is interrupting me. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I stand guided, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think he is the one who is misdirecting his thoughts. I am very much focused; I have never mentioned the name of Raila in these issues. I want to say that the Procurement and the Disposal Act has been utilized using Section 34. I am sure hon. Members are also eager and keen to put our security right. The PPOA told the Committee that they looked at various issues; the request for direct procurement was interrogated, the request for approval sought was presented by a special security committee and Safaricom was also ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the problem is that most Members have not read the entire report. The entire costing is captured in the report. There is no time for me to debate and take the Members through. The entire contract is about Kshs18.9 billion. All the cost is there. The Communications Commission of Kenya was consulted in this matter. The technical teams were consulted. The information is there. As we debate, let us look at the positive aspect of this and what Safaricom has offered. There is even a grace period. In the first one year, payment is not even ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Coastal hotels have been sent home. We are now saying that the security system will help us to secure the Coast and Nairobi at large. It is the wish of the Committee - and we indicated to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government - that this should and must be rolled out to the rest of the country. This is also included in our recommendations. That is where we should be going and looking at. There is time for this House, in future, to see whether we need to do that as soon as possible, funds being ... view
