• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Not yet. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, mine is not on a boundary dispute although Hon. Mbadi was not on record. So, we could not hear what he was saying about there being no meeting of the Committee. I hope that was in jest because he has no ability to stop Committees from meeting. I think the request by Hon. Tom Odege was for the Committee to consider. Hon. Speaker, let me now go to my Statement request. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on The electronic version of the ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Environment and Natural Resources regarding the status of the construction of the Kikuyu Water and Sewer Project. In 2019, the Government of Kenya, jointly with the African Development Bank (ADB), and through the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, financed and initiated the construction of Kikuyu Water and Sewer Project. Consequently, the Government contracted a company known as Nanchang Municipal Engineering & Nanchang Foreign Engineering Company (K) Limited to undertake the construction work. The project has been going on with intermittent delays, stoppage of works and slow progress of implementation hence inconveniencing the residents of Kikuyu Constituency, Kiambu County, in addition ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion for one very basic reason that, for me, this is a matter of life and death. It is not a question of whether I want to be here to represent the people and legislate on their behalf or even oversee the Government. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: As the Leader of the Minority Party has said, without mentioning names, there are a number of our colleagues who are dearly fighting for their lives in hospitals and others are not in a very good state. In this 12th Parliament, we have lost Members from this disease. Let me disclose that I have relatives, like my own sister, who is battling COVID-19 in hospital. During the last lockdown, I had an opportunity to visit a COVID ward and maybe those who have not been in a COVID ward may not understand. I walked to the Nairobi Hospital Intensive Care ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: friends who were battling COVID-19, but unfortunately, both of them lost their lives. The layers of protective gear took me about 20 to 30 minutes to wear. You have to be layered with protective clothing to walk into the COVID-19 ICU. I looked at the people there battling for their lives alone although nurses and doctors are there, but they are limited on the number of things they can do to you even though they have protective clothing and gear. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I am saying this to depict the situation we are in. Today, it might be very easy to say things that may be exciting to ourselves and constituents to be seen to be working, but this pandemic has caused devastation to many families including ours. Even in this House, some Members have lost their lives from this pandemic. I think it is only fair that we give a chance to alter our Calendar in a way we are seen to be supporting the fight against this pandemic. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: This is not the first time because we did it before, as the Leader of the Majority Party has said, and we went to the extent of limiting who accesses this Chamber. I do not know what criteria was being used, maybe, it was on a first come, first served basis. Only 60 people could sit in this Chamber and others in the tent. We did not take all those measures in vain because it helped. At that time, if you remember, very few of us could speak in the Chamber and mention names of Members or staff of this ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Today, we are not just talking about people, but mentioning names of our own members of staff and Members of Parliament whom we have lost; people we know. Therefore, as we consider this Motion, we have heard what the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader Minority Party have said, that in essence, we are bringing our May recess forward to April and allowing our committees to continue sitting. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: This is good because we will not be in a situation where we are unable to articulate issues concerning our people. We can do so through committees and deal with Statements like the one I have read today on matters concerning the people of Kikuyu. During recess, we will have time to process such matters. I also appreciate the fact that we are resuming on 4th May if we pass this Motion. Therefore, we will not worry a lot regarding the processing of the Budget Estimates. Remember, the long recess is usually a working recess where committees retreat to work ... view
