I have been following my colleagues’ contributions and I find that there is a bit of repetition that is now taking place. I now wish that we call upon the Mover to reply, so that we can end this Special Motion. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Looking around, I realise that we may have a problem. I, therefore, stand under Standing Order 53(3) and request that you put the Question during the next sitting. Thank you. view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is a House of Representatives. The amount that had been indicated in the previous Act which we are now improving is Kshs 5,000. We would be biting too much to move from Kshs 5,000, to Kshs 200,000 then to Kshs 1,000,000. For us to be seen to be reasonable my proposal is to have Kshs 500,000 but as we increase the amount, we also need to do something about the term of imprisonment from six months to one year so that it is concurrent. view

• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will be very brief. I request the Members in this House to understand that there is diversity in this House. We have Members who represent sugarcane farmers, like me. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the permission. I want to request the Members of this House to sympathise with us, the Members who represent sugarcane farmers.
