• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. On behalf of Thika Town Constituency, my family and myself, I take this opportunity to pass my sincere condolences to the family of the late Senator Otieno Kajwang’ and the people of Homa Bay County. Senator Otieno Kajwang’ made politics very interesting. When he was in the Opposition, we were all eager to know what he wanted to say every time he stood up because he was very interesting. He either started with a sense of humour or with a song. He made sure that the crowd was moved by whatever he was saying. ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I am not supporting that amendment. I am saying that we understand him. He has done his arithmetic. However, we sat down as a Committee and those stakeholders and we agreed that people could come up with their own figures. It is good and it is allowed but we had to settle down to that specific figure and we did. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a Committee, we sat down for a long time and did great work on this Bill. So, as we sit down here, our minds are as alert as never before. We are here to contribute and move forward. Let us continue sitting until we do justice to this Bill. We are not being rushed. We have been doing well, and we will continue doing well until we finish with this Bill. We are not in a hurry, and we will do a good job. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I want to oppose hon. Ndirangu, who is a very good friend of mine. If we start narrowing down to the water, it will affect the Bill. That is captured by the Water Bill. The Water Bill has captured where and how water should be supplied. NEMA also speaks loud about what should happen when a miner starts mining. NEMA gives rules that should be adhered to. Therefore, I oppose the proposed amendment by my fellow colleague. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I understand what hon. Ndirangu is saying. I also need clarity. Let us assume that a property that I was using before the miner came in is affected by the miner. Hon. Ndirangu is asking whether that person should be compensated, if I am correct. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if that is what hon. Ndirangu is proposing, yes I support him because if that is my property, I need to be compensated. If the miners have come, especially where I come from, there is mining of building stones. Most of the neighbours’ properties are affected by the miners when they start mining. They need to be compensated. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We all know that water is a natural resource and a national resource. We know the national Government holds it in trust for the people of Kenya. Water is life and when we are talking about water it affects everybody across board in the entire country as well as the entire world. We know that if water is not managed properly, it leads to many illnesses. In Kenya now we have short rains and at times they become long rains because the Ozone layer has really changed. It is high time, as the Government, ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: get it right; when the rains come we need to harvest water first. Basically, this is why I say the national Government should come in, because if it is dams, we know they all do not fall within the same region. There are those that are within the county but there are some that are built or constructed at the border of two counties. If the national Government has to come in, these resources belong to all of us. The national Government needs to place those dams in places where they cater for larger areas. For those of us who ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: becomes very expensive, you do not have somebody to turn to. If the bill is too high, the next thing is disconnection. Then reconnection becomes another cost. These are some of the things that need to be captured and looked at critically. As we are constructing dams, we will need research to know where to put the dams strategically. If at all we are proposing one in Gatundu for example, will it be able to deal with the entire Thika Constituency? Can it also supply water to Ruiru Constitutency and lower Ukambani area because I also border part of Ukambani? ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill. As much as we are being told to increase the allocations to the county governments, it is not possible because what do we do with education sector, infrastructure, defence and so on? We all know the level of terrorism that we are experiencing in Kenya. The governors have been given 20.6 per cent of the national revenue. They need to utilize that money first and tell us what they have done with the money that we gave them in the last financial year. Some of the governors, after ... view
