• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Report is very effective. We also have to remember that we have a very porous border that is long and unprotected. If the Military were to take the steps they want to, I will fully support them. A lot remains unsorted in terms of the process. My colleagues have spoken about public participation which is a very essential requirement. We do not have a good report showing us that this was done. I plead with the Chairman of the Committee to ensure that public participation is done before this Report is passed by the House. We need the Report anyway. ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the first part of the Report where the need is emphasised. That I support very strongly, but the process is where I have many questions. More needs to be done on the Report. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have to support this Motion wholeheartedly. Kenya is yearning for development, but this will remain a dream without sufficient energy supply. Nuclear energy to me is the only proper way of solving our energy problem. We need a reliable source of energy, one that can give us enough power for development. We know for a fact Kenya is not a popular destination for investors due to high costs of production. This can be attributed to the fact that we are using regular electricity supply. Having nuclear energy will solve this problem and we ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am in agreement with a number of Hon. Members who have registered security concerns over this matter. I am glad the Departmental Committee on Energy has crafted an intervention. The same shall be included in the Bill to ensure that no Kenyan is a casualty. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: We have regulations and laws in Kenya but people do not obey them mostly due to corruption. Let me assume that we will not have corrupt Kenyans running or managing nuclear energy supply. If the contrary happens, then all those good laws and regulations will be meaningless. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Our friend Hon. Sossion has been talking about the Curriculum Based Competency (CBC), education system which is new. I would like the educationists to include that the CBC system covers the competency needed in running nuclear energy that we are very hopeful of having. This can be included in our learning institutions, schools, tertiary institutions and universities. They should review the curriculum to include the kind of energy we are going to have and, in fact, give us services in that important energy supply. If this is done, it will be wonderful because the competency we are talking about should ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I know that the Big Four Agenda will be enhanced with nuclear energy production. It will also enhance efficiency in industrial production and reduce unemployment rates not just in the energy production units, but in various areas. This is because the production of good cheap nuclear energy will have a spill-over effect and many people will benefit. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me time. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the traffic rule affair is very important and we need to give it the importance it deserves. A number of times by the end of each year, we are given statistics of fatal and non-fatal accidents. The deaths occurring as a result of road accidents can be avoided. Therefore, it is not just school children who should be trained about traffic rules but everybody, so that we can obey them and avoid accidents. view
