• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: between Kajiado or between Thika, Machakos or Nairobi is being levied these increased levies in all the towns, what will happen? All these charges are prejudicial to not only the national economy but also to the economic activities across the counties that surround this city.

• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Sir, almost 95 per cent of the people who work in this city use matatus and taxis for their mobility from where they reside to this city. Therefore, if matatus will go on strike today or any other day because we are implementing parking fees or any other levies that are prejudicial to the mobility of goods and services, we as a House must rise and condemn this. I am urging the National Treasury and all other relevant ministries to put in place such measures that will ensure strict adherence of Article 209(5) of our Constitution to ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very painful that today people had to walk to work, including Members of Parliament. I had to walk from Museum Hill to get to this House before the morning session ended because of the traffic congestion that was there.

Temporary Deputy Speaker, therefore, I urge the Members of this House to speak out and support this Motion to make sure that the National Treasury, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and all other relevant ministries including the Ministry of Devolution and Planning weigh down on these county governments to ensure that they are not doing things that are prejudicial to our national economy. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, therefore, I beg to move that Motion and urge Members to support it. Let the National Treasury and county governments have the interests of our people at heart because it is our people who are suffering. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I can say that almost 30 per cent of the population in the constituency where I come from, which is Kikuyu are our youth who are employed in the matatu industry. Others are employed in the taxi business and if we are going to drive them out of business tomorrow, we are the same people who will be complaining about insecurity. This youth will become a problem to us even in our comfort zones, therefore, it is very important that we speak out and support them because it is a sector that is very important to this country. view
