• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: What we need to think about and what our oversight role should be looking at is if we are using part of that money for debt. The oversight institutions that have been set up like the Assets Recovery Agency and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) have been doing their job in terms of looking at those people who have, perhaps, not been diligent enough in doing their job. That is what we should be emphasising on. Debt per se is not bad. I think we may be forced to think that we should never borrow which is what we ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Economic Zones. I want to ask him to spend more time in Mombasa and not just Kilifi. He needs to do a tour of Mombasa to see the development in the second city, which is our entry point. The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) starts in Mombasa and the volume of cargo from Mombasa is an indication of the growth that has taken place. Development is not just within Nairobi because a lot is happening in Kisumu to connect Kenya to the East African region through the Port of Kisumu. There are several by-passes in Eldoret and Nakuru. Development is taking ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity for me to support this Bill by the Committee on Administration and National Security and also to commend, at the very outset, the input by the Member of Parliament for Nyali, Hon. Mohamed Ali. Listening to him this afternoon, I could see the passion with which he has prosecuted this matter and I know for most of us who visit Mombasa and who have had a history with there - I went to school in Mombasa in Shimo La Tewa those days for my ‘A’ Levels - it has always been ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: help the bigger society. I saw you somewhere in Murang'a and listened to you and I almost said: 'I know this young man'. When I realised that you had made such a contribution to this Bill, which saves humanity, I could not reconcile the two, but now I have a new way of looking at you and continue doing what you have to do to solve this youth problem. In my understanding, this Bill, apart from just enhancing the offences it also redefines and categorises the differences. For instance, if you are caught with a certain portion, what should it ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. This is anecdotal. There is enough anecdotal evidence that those drugs… You know the reason they are called illicit drugs, illicit alcohol, and illicit drinks is because the chemical formulations… view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you go around the area of Limuru and Kiambu, you will find that the children who are being born in those homes have features that look like those of people like Hon. Kaluma and from Western Kenya. You can tell from the nose. You can tell from some features that they are not local in that area which means that people have imported some of those services. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Generally, I think the point is that there is a whole generation that has been wasted because of drugs and all that and it is something we have observed. If you go to my own area in Nyandarua, the Aberdare Forest, occasionally the administration will always go back and report and tell me 'we have discovered this plantation of cannabis’ and all that 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
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: and it has to be burned down and it is right in the forest. Obviously, it is not small guys who are getting all the way to the forest to plant those acres of cannabis . It is traders. It must have some market somewhere. If you do not kill the market, the production will continue. What I see in this Bill is that it aims at controlling the consumption. If we can control the consumption and the market, then there will be nobody interested in trafficking. There will be nobody interested in producing and hence that will cure the ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: So, I support this Bill and all the measures that will be taken if we have to save the future generations as we try to rehabilitate the ones already off the mark through these other centres. I know a number of counties have even started those rehabilitation centres to try to get back our youth who are lost. I am not sure how we are going to recover that lost generation I talked about within Central Kenya and whether we are going to tell Hon. Kaluma’s relatives that we will integrate them now that their services have also been imported. ... view
