• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: a 4.5 per cent growth in the years 2008 to 2012 and 5.2 per cent in the period between 2002 to 2007. It is good to temper that with realism and that is what a lot of Members have expressed concern about. If our economy is agri-based, then we either put agriculture right or tweak our economy not to depend so much on agriculture if it will remain to be rain-fed. We must, however, also appreciate the effort the Government has made. There are a lot of resources going into development of mega dams to make sure that we move ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: The Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on adoption of the Budget Policy Statement and the Debt Management Strategy for 2018/2019 and the Medium-Term. view

• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for noticing me. I had struggled for you to notice me on the issue of the Judiciary. Since that is long gone, let me contribute on roads, even on those that lead to the Judiciary. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Let me first take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the Chair and the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing for the enormous work that they put in reviewing this Bill. I know Hon. Pkosing and his Committee put in a lot of hours and work. Indeed, I must congratulate them because it the first departmental Committee in the 12th Parliament, Second Session, to table a report before this House for a substantive Bill to be debated. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The issue of roads is one that has been nagging many Members of Parliament and Kenyans at large and more so, since the advent of devolution when a lot of roads were designated to the counties. Some of the governors went for roads because they were after the fuel levy funds without any regard as to whether they were getting this fuel levy money to offer services or deliver on the rehabilitation and maintenance of roads. We have seen across the country, roads that are designated as county government roads are those that fall under Classes D, E and F, ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Kenya Roads Board (KRB) is specifically geared towards the delivery of better roads for Kenyans. I want to implore the Chair and the Committee to make sure that the agencies in the roads sector designate and mark those assets that will now fall under them. This is so that even MPs know the roads in their constituencies that will fall under whatever roads agency and, therefore, be able to follow up with those particular agencies. It is also important for Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) in our counties and the public at large to know which roads are being constructed ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Maintenance contracts are a new thing that I have seen in the last three years under the Jubilee administration. They have helped maintain those roads in a serviceable manner and save this country billions of shillings. In the past, roads could be constructed but they would go for 10 years without anyone ever mending a pothole. Today, we have seen a new culture where, after construction of roads, there is a maintenance contract ensuring that every time there is a pothole, it is taken care of. Even simple things like clearing the drainage are necessary because many of the roads ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also note you have noticed where I am seated, since you had earlier referred to Hon. Nixon Korir, the Member for Lang’ata, as the Member for Kikuyu, in my name. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, it was Hon. Nixon Korir, Member for Lang’ata in Nairobi County, while I am from Kikuyu in Kiambu County. But we are related in the sense that Nairobi and Kiambu counties are some of those counties…. I rise first to support the Motion for the adoption of the Sessional Paper. I was saying that Kiambu County enjoys proximity to Nairobi City in Nairobi County. That is why I relate to the sentiments of Hon. Nixon Korir on the need for a proper housing policy in this country, one that will enable the Government to fast-track the provision of not ... view
