• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was saying that the myriad of media advertisements encouraging Kenyans to go into non-productive activities, like betting, is an issue we need to deal with. I will be bringing amendments that will also make it very punitive to advertise when we deal with the substantive Bill on betting so that we can ascertain that a person who is purported to be a winner on television is actually a winner. This is because there are advertisements of fake winners encouraging young people to embrace the betting vice. Finally, I will speak on the National Housing Fund. ... view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: housing scheme. It also helps to mop up savings in the country. Therefore, I will be supporting the proposals, especially the amendment of 1.5 per cent to enable one draw that money at the end of one’s saving plan, be it after eight or 10 years. All of us should be forced to contribute towards a housing scheme we will not benefit from it. Some of us bought or built our own houses very many years ago. Therefore, we should not be paying for others, unless we will be able to use it as an avenue for mopping up our ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to support. More so, as two or three previous speakers, including the Deputy Speaker have said, this will indeed create order in the House. As much as the Hon. Speaker is always calling us to order, it is not repeating myself to say that indeed, in the recent past, we have as Members been quite disorderly especially on what the Leader of the Minority Party has spoken about. Members go out not just to speak to the media, but to also speak outside here at the Media Centre. They do so accusing their colleagues ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: honourable Members, we have special interest because maybe they represent issues that either touch on their constituents or people that they know or people who purport to be our friends. Therefore, when we misuse our privileged position of having to sit in those committees and to interfere with the work of that committee, then we are defeating the very essence of why those questions are being asked. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The second thing I find very good is the fact that, I can raise or any Member can raise a supplementary question before a matter is sent to the committee and the committee deliberates on it. This gives Members an opportunity to raise supplementary questions on issues that are of concern to the constituents that probably another Member had raised. A supplementary question would also come in to help the committee to deliberate on such issues or have a Cabinet Secretary answering two questions at the same time under the main question. I beg Members to support this. I have ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Of Course, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I appreciate that the petitioner is from my constituency. He is actually from a village called Ondiri in Kikuyu Constituency. He is a gentleman who knows what he is talking about. I wanted your guidance because you have already committed the Petition to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. There is an issue that touches on education. I do not know how we can bring in the Departmental Committee on Education and Research into that matter. It impacts greatly on education. If we look at it just from a finance perspective, Hon. Limo ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to second the procedural Motion. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, besides the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade being away… At this time the Committee is very busy considering the Finance Bill which is time bound. Most importantly, you remember in the last few weeks people have been going to court purporting to stop this House from enacting the Finance Bill, but we still have the Big Four Agenda to focus on. This Finance Bill will enable the Government to raise revenue. We are already two months into ... view
