• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: At the outset, I want to state that I support this Bill which seeks to introduce and establish a framework within which legal aid may be provided to Kenyans who need such support. Many Kenyans have ended up in jail when they ought not to have been in prison. Legal aid is one of the important requirements in a court case. It is an element of rights of the people. There are several reasons – including ignorance or lack of information and poverty, among others – that can lead a member of the public not to seek legal aid. The ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: It makes it easy for people to access not just legal aid, but legal aid that is affordable and is available to help Kenyans so that real justice is seen to have been accorded to every Kenyan. Apart from the support by way of provision of legal aid, this Bill also seeks to establish mechanisms which will ensure disputes are resolved; dispute resolution mechanism which would not necessarily be pursued in court and even out of court settlement or even measures that would put in place technical people to help resolve disputes at any given time. I have looked at ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: anything that generates Kshs100,000, Kshs75,000 or Kshs150,000? This Bill should also help us address this. The Judiciary should be considerate. You will find people in prison who ought not to be there for petty crimes. So, as I support this Bill. I also appeal that magistrates, particularly those in Bungoma should respect the Judiciary in spite of the other issues which have been said against them. It is an important institution in our country and anywhere else. As they administer justice, they should also ensure that they are considerate. With those few remarks, I wish to support the Bill. I ... view

• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this important Sessional Paper. Matters of environment, world over at the moment, have drawn a lot of interest. Even recently, the conference in Paris drew the whole world to address environmental issues. This Sessional Paper comes at a time when we expect each one of us to address environmental issues. We need to ensure that issues like global warming and poor management of environmental systems are dealt with adequately. When I was growing up, rains were predictable in Bungoma. We expected rains at a particular time ... view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support what has been arrived at in this report. There was a serious gap in the legislation, which did not provide for the area which is designated as county headquarters. For example, the Governor of Kiambu County rose one day and said that Thika was the headquarters of Kiambu County. This was not in the interest of the general population of the county. Majority of the people of Kiambu thought that the headquarters ought to have been at Kiambu Town. So, there was conflict between the Governor, the leadership and the people of ... view
