• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the issue being raised by hon. Chachu Ganya is of great magnitude and value to the economy of this country. It is true that for many years, Kenyans have basically lived on the benefits of our natural resources, particularly wildlife. In Africa, other than the Republic of South Africa, Kenya is the only country that boasts of well protected wildlife sanctuaries, be they national parks or game reserves or private conservancies. We must admit that in the recent past, this great natural resource came under attack being fuelled by a great international conspiracy that involves trading in ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: What is more worrying is the fact that what this country intends to achieve under Vision 2030, particularly the economic goals of this policy, is pegged so much on tourism. The President talked about attracting three million tourists by 2017. I am afraid that it will be impossible for us to achieve these kinds of targets if the very bases of our tourism sector continue to face such serious attacks. We must realise that the tourism sector in this country is basically nature-based. Other than wildlife, the other great attraction that tourists come to see in Kenya is our sandy ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank hon. Mbadi for recognizing that Butere is a land of great debaters. Indeed, the fact that Shikuku is resting in peace, the representative of the people of Butere is here to make sure that the fire that he lit on this Floor will still light as long as we are alive.

Mbadi on the need to establish a fund that would assist the small-scale fishermen in this country to access financial services and facilities that would help them exploit this very unique ... view

• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. We must realize as Parliament that the 47 counties we have in this country should not merely be looked at as administrative units but as economic units. It is the first time that we are now looking at what formula is being used to allocate resources so that our counties can take off. It is also clear that looking at the two institutions that have come up with this resource allocation system, both the Treasury and the Commission on Revenue Allocation have used two different formulas but I think they were ... view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, just like my colleagues, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely congratulate all hon. Members of Parliament, yourself and your Deputy for your successful election. view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: I rise here, first, to give my maiden speech and secondly, to make a few comments on the President’s Address. Many Members of this honourable House have made positive comments about what our President said in his Address. I would like to add to that voice by saying that, indeed, the Speech captured the mood of the country at the time that he delivered it. view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: However, what is important is not so much how glossy, beautiful or how much - like hon. Chepkonga said - the Speech was well elucidated, but what commitment the President will have in the five years he will be the Head of this country to deliver on that Speech. view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that although the Speech addressed almost all the sectors of the economy, there are certain sectors that I feel we need to have given a view
