I think this is a very good thing in this Act. I support. view

• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The issue at hand; the issue of boda bodas, touches on all Kenyans, including those in my constituency. We have a challenge in this House because even the Chair has already differed with the answer that has been given. Will I, then, be in order to request that since he is not convinced that there is no ban, to ask the Chair or the Speaker to postpone the response to this Statement, so that the Committee can summon the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the Ministry and get a proper response ... view
