• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Kindly, remember that Kamiti Prison is in Kiambu County, Ruiru Constituency. It is not in Nairobi County. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, I thank Hon. Yusuf for introducing such an important Motion. When we take a look at the issue of national monuments in this country, Kamukunji Grounds holds significant historical value. When we take a look at Harry Thuku and those who fought for the Independence of this country, they played a significant role. Every country you go to in the world has a Tiananmen Square and all manner of sites that have been set aside to commemorate areas where those countries’ independence was fought for. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: That may probably be the reason why children in this country continue to burn dormitories and their schools without care or regard to any sense of personal responsibility and freedom is really never free. When I saw this Motion, I remembered areas like Red Nova in Kiambu, where bodies of people who fought for the freedom of this country like the Mau Mau, were heaped or damped when they were killed. None of these areas is regarded as special areas or reserves where we can commemorate history. Instead, those public places have been desecrated by building of hotels and institutions. ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We see misallocation of land and encroachment by developers who have no regard to the history of this country and where we have come from. Any country that does not recognise its heroes and their contribution to development is enslaved and will never grow. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I congratulate Hon. Yusuf and thank him for introducing this Motion, to widen the scope and ensure that all areas of this country that have contributed to the freedom of this country are allocated to the National Museum as historical grounds for protection, so that they become The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: grounds where we continue to learn about the history of this country. Kenyans can take pride of where we have come from. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: When we look at Kenya’s contribution internationally, we continue to draw monumental accolades, but when it comes to recognising our heroes and where we have come from, we have a very poor record. I hope with this Motion, we will allocate a significant part of our Budget to the maintenance of those monumental historical places to ensure that we focus on that. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Motion. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Bill. Infrastructure, especially roads, forms the backbone of the development of a nation. In areas which are inaccessible, people are not able to get their products to markets. For example, in Kiambu County, we literally have no roads. The roads that were constructed in Githunguri were done during Mr. Magugu‟s time. This is more than 15 years ago.

• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Magina area in Lari Constituency, you will be shocked. You will wonder whether you are in Kenya. This Bill provides the legal and institutional framework for the management of the road network in this country. I wish to commend the Jubilee Government, especially for its initiatives on the road network in the whole country. The even distribution of development in this country is commendable. It is no longer necessary that we must vote for one party in order to get development. This Bill ensures that the ambitious and extremely good development programmes – the 10,000 kilometres Road Annuity Programme that ... view
