• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Those of us who have been going to the IEBC should be informed that the Government has acquired enough teargas. It shall be used on those who will break the law. You cannot break the law and go scot-free. In a country of 40 million people, a small group of people cannot disrupt order in Nairobi and Kisumu just because they want to win. view

• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Last week, we received a Sessional Paper which seeks approval of this House, so that KPA can borrow Kshs.27.3 billion for the second container terminal by KPA. When the Committee visited KPA, we realised that the two weeks which is required by our Standing Orders to consider Government borrowing is too short. This is because one, our Constitution requires that we first of all check if it is development borrowing. Two, check whether KPA is capable of repaying this loan. Three, we were told through the same Sessional Paper that Phase I is 99 per cent complete The electronic version ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: My Committee Members felt that we need more time to investigate and check, so that we do not make mistakes. This is a very large amount of money that we are borrowing from outside the country. My Committee felt that we should seek extension, so that we can do a good job. This will ensure that when we approve, we will do so from a point of knowledge and not because we have been rushed. That is why I seek this extension, so that this House can get a good report and do justice to that borrowing. Many Kenyans have ... view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment. I can read the mood of the Members on the other side. It is wrong to come up with a law which will not be implemented. It is true that injured people have to be given emergency treatment, but somebody must be paid for providing that treatment. Tomorrow, emergency care providers will change the rules to say that they were unable to treat somebody because of certain reasons, but in the real sense, it is about money. It is good for us to state that money should be provided by the State. ... view
