• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Public participation is crucial for this commission and as a Committee we feel it will not be good and we will not do justice to the public if we do not give them a chance for public participation. As a nation, we are undergoing many challenges that call for consultations. It is important we recruit people of high integrity who will unite this country. I second, Hon. Speaker. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support my colleague, Hon. Charles Njagua Kanyi, the Member for Starehe. The Motion is very good. We have many people who have practical experience but lack papers. If those people get the certificates to indicate that they are experienced, I am sure they will get Government jobs. Most of those people who lack certificates might not have joined secondary school or university because their parents could not afford to pay fees. Therefore, they joined Jua Kali and they were able to learn practically. You find that they are experienced in their ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.42(2)(c) I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding recurrent and vicious fires at Gikomba Market. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Gikomba is the largest market for second-hand clothes and other items of trade in East and Central Africa. About nine months ago, fire gutted down 60 per cent of the market over what was suspected to be foul play and alleged land grabbing. It is unfortunate that investigations commenced and to date, no report has been shared regarding the perpetrators of the arson. The recent fire incident claimed, at least, 15 lives, left over 70 people seriously injured and stock worth millions of shillings destroyed. I urge the police and the investigative agencies to move with speed and ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: 1. The cause of the previous fire incidences in the market, if any. 2. Challenges, if any, by the emergency response agencies/units during such incidences. 3. The assistance offered to all those affected by the fire in the market. I ask this matter because I have been a trader in the same market for over 15 years, and also a victim of the past tragedies in Gikomba market. Thank you. view

• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: As a Member of Parliament for Embakasi Central Constituency, I want to say that in all major towns, we have many problems in housing. The Government should encourage highrise buildings that hold more than 10 floors. This will ensure that the available land, which is very scarce in all major towns, is utilised well. When at this, this would help reduce land grabbing because land grabbers mostly do it for their personal gain. They use the land to build rental and business houses which are very expensive for the common mwananchi. The Government should construct these houses and ensure that ... view
