• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment, especially on the issue of reducing the number of years of experience for those Kenyans who want to become PSs. In most cases, youth have been locked out from employment on the basis of years of experience. When they say 15 years, it locks out so many youth. The amendment goes a long way in giving the youth an opportunity to serve as senior civil servants. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill. This is a very important Bill in our country. As other Members have said, it is part of sharing funds between the counties and the national Government. I think one great thing that 14 counties were waiting for is the Equalisation Fund. The national Government had sent Principal Secretaries (PSs) to the 14 counties to consult and decide on the projects that were identified by leaders and the local people. It is now almost two months since that time and some of us ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: struggling. The national Government is also struggling, but the issue is about bureaucracy and the problem of disbursement. On the issue of buying livestock, the other day the Government agreed that they can buy lean livestock and take them to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), but we have said no. Those animals cannot reach KMC. They can only be slaughtered on the ground and meat be distributed to the local people to provide protein for our people, while they are being given maize or other rations. But the problem again is that the number of livestock allocated is so small. ... view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for allowing me this time to contribute on the Petition that was made by the first Member. I think the issue of GMOs is critical. Sometimes GMOs are allowed because of the population in the world that cannot be accommodated by organic food. view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Currently, we have a looming disaster in northern Kenya and that is drought. In my constituency, more than half of the population is facing a disaster of lack of food because they depend wholly on livestock. There is no water and grass for the livestock. People are shifting from one place to another. Young children and elderly people have no food because they depend wholly on livestock. view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: My appeal is that the Government of Kenya moves very fast and provides relief food to our people in big quantities and to look at the issue of livestock off-take. This is because they are becoming very weak. There is no market and goats and cows cannot be sold. We need the Government to put aside some money for livestock off-take. Currently only a few animals are bought, about 1,000. What can make a difference is maybe buying more than 10,000 animals in those areas. view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: I call upon the Government to ensure there is supplementary feeding for young children and the elderly to combat this disaster that can destroy our people during this drought season. The rains have failed this month and we do not expect any rains until April. There is a looming disaster that the Government needs to take action on as early as possible. view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this time and opportunity. Just as the Leader of the Majority Party has said, this Bill has been in our Committee and it is a short Bill. I stand here to second and agree that it is important to specifically identify county headquarters especially now that the Government is putting a lot of resources in construction, staffing and in many other issues. So this Bill, however short it is, gives direction to the locals and residents of these counties to identify where they can call the capital cities of those counties. We ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
