• 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
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I have seen adverts on television saying “ ploti maguta maguta ”. To translate that from Latin, it means that they are selling plots that are very oily. The oil in the plots is in how liquid they make you once you buy them. A lot of Kenyans are being duped to buy land that is unserviced, largely inaccessible, and land on which you cannot farm or even inhabit since it is not serviced at all. This Sessional Paper talks to that aspect of the Government using its resources to service land and make sure there is sewer, roads, electricity ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand guided, but it is something we say with a lot of pride that there were only two schools in Kenya when I went to school, namely, the Alliance High School and the rest. So, I am not saying in any way that all the other schools you went to are not schools, but they were among the rest. So, those of us who went to Alliance High School, PS nominee being one of them is bringing in a lot of experience. I have even seen in this Sessional Paper an allusion to Johannesburg Social ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: transverses through Kiambu and Kajiado counties. Areas like Kibiku on Kajiado side, Nachu on Kikuyu side and all those areas that could be opened up by the SGR. In this Sessional Paper, we are talking about opening up new areas where we can have serviced land and then people can move in. It is not just about housing, but also infrastructure. We may build housing around Nairobi, but probably we will end up just crowding Nairobi. I heard somebody speak about traffic jams in this City. One of the ways to decongest this City is by moving people to Isinya, ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I wanted to ask whether it is in order even as you convene the inaugural meeting to co-opt members. Remember in the 11th Parliament there was a time we co- opted members whom, we famously referred to as Njuri Ncheke . I wanted to request that there are many Members, of course I included, who diligently served in this Committee in the 11th Parliament together with Hon. Ali Wario and the Deputy Speaker, who is now privileged to sit in when you are not there and you can probably delegate this to him. I am requesting this because of the ... view
