• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: You can imagine the number of people who live in Mathare, Kibra, Korogocho and other slum areas, people who can afford housing which will be built under this new housing scheme. At the cost of Ksh600,000 for what is called a studio or a one bedroom unit that will be sold for even Ksh1 million or a two bedroom unit going for Ksh2 million and you pay it over 20 years, that will be good. Today, they can only live in a slum area because that is where they are able to afford rent which is charged for housing in ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: way to the Airport, they will provide a meaningful bus corridor where we will move people enmasse to the CBD. Since I can see I am short of time let me say that this Bill will facilitate not just the efficient system of public transportation within the metropolis but also make housing cheap for Kenyans who are living within Nairobi. With those few remarks, I beg to second this Bill. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House today, Wednesday 14th March 2018: Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Division of Revenue Bill for the Financial Year 2018/2019. Thank you. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order in relation to the question of public participation. I listened to the Chairman of Departmental Committee on Energy. He pointed a number of areas where the Committee had an opportunity to conduct public participation. Public participation, Hon. Speaker, you can remember in the 11th Parliament, created a lot of problems for the then Budget and Appropriations Committee. I am careful not to land in the same shoes my predecessor did. I do not know whether it will be right for us to have some sort of framework on public ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I listened to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy and the first constituency he mentioned they visited is Nakuru Town East Constituency, which is his. The second constituency he mentioned they visited is Narok East Constituency represented by Hon. Aramat who is also a Member of the Committee. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want your guidance. As we embark on public participation, is there a criterion this House can adopt and use such that when Members of a Committee serve, we do so in the national interest and not our own? We all have constituencies and communities’ interests, but the overriding principle should be that of national interest. Therefore, I would have expected the Departmental Committee on Energy to spend much more time in, say, Loiyangalani, Garissa and Marsabit where there is wind power. There is also the Lake Turkana power project that is almost collapsing. There are areas in ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like you to give guidance to the Committees so that when we go out to conduct public participation we restrict ourselves to that which is in the public interest and for the national good and not to take our Committees to our constituencies and end up wasting this House’s and national resources by going to engage with people who have no idea what public participation is all about. I am saying that on the basis of what the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy has said. view

• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to pick up from where Hon. Junet has left. I was not at the steps of Harambee House but I had occasion last week, when we were in Mombasa, through the courtesy of Hon. Junet and his phone, to speak to the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. I remember that, that time I mentioned to the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga that we respect and honour him as a great statesman in this country. Therefore, I take this opportunity to commend both His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga for this very momentous opportunity ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the two leaders and ask those in NASA to support Raila Odinga in this endeavour. It is for the betterment… view
