• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to thank Sen. Musila for following up on this matter of the release of school certificates. By holding back certificates, we are denying our children the opportunity to move forward and get jobs or to go for higher education. Therefore, I want to thank the Deputy President for the decision that he took. Already, there is a law but somebody somewhere is sleeping on the job. Therefore, I congratulate him and also thank the Senate for taking this matter very seriously by deliberating on it so that teachers out there who are defying the order ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I had sought a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land and Natural Resources on Chepchoina Land Allocation Scheme Phase II.

I also wanted a list of the allottees of land in that area and to know why foreigners were allocated land in the area instead of the local community. Also, I wanted the Committee to give an account of the landless in Kenya per county. I cannot remember the date when I sought this Statement, ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, this issue is grave and emotive and people have lost lives in Chepchoina. We had the opportunity with Sen.

These people have been displaced and other people brought on that land. I also understand that there are many cases of double allocation. We were told that already some people have been allocated land on Phase III. There are people out there who have been displaced and have nowhere ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. KURA is a function of the national Government. We are also aware that there is some classification of roads going on. It is the right time for us to support or urge the national Government to restructure KURA, so that it expands its network within the counties with regard to roads and infrastructure. KURA is a developed agency and quite experienced. In view of that, I think KURA will handle construction of roads within towns and connecting counties. Some counties do not have equipment to do roads. If ... view

• 2 Jul 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion by Sen. Ongoro. As the Mover has stated, coconut farming has critical importance on the economy of peasant farmers at the Kenyan Coast some of which include cooking oil. She talked about the medicinal value, the mnazi drink, which I normally like to drink whenever I go to the coast. There is also the issue of makuti roofing and construction poles among others. I remember when we visited Indonesia, we went to the beaches. Structures there are constructed using bamboo posts and makuti . They look very beautiful and attractive ... view
