• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: To massage our ego, we had negative eight and they had one. Thank you. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: (Nominated, JP) seconded view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I contribute, it is important that we keep the records of this House true. I have listened to Hon. King’ola. Hon. King’ola Makau is trying to mislead this House that what has been recommended by the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on London Distillers (Kenya) Limited is to close it down. He is very wrong. I have sat down through the entire debate and can confirm that they have been given six months to come with mitigation measures to reduce the pollution they are emitting into that environment. It is important we know ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I was just giving that information because I think I know he is very unhappy because things did not go his way. It is important we put the records of this House straight. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Let me also say this, that I support this Report of the Committee on Implementation. If we come up with certain recommendations that are not possible, we must as a House have a leeway to come back and ask ourselves where we went wrong and correct it. That is so that we do not put punitive measures on companies and factories that are doing the right thing. I am happy we have that recourse. I know my boss here is not happy. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: For obvious reasons, anything on sugar touches him very closely at heart. It is good he stays true to his constituents. But, I would like him to also reconsider some of the decisions he makes because not everything on sugar is bad for his people. Let us also give Kenafric a chance. They need to come to the Committee and be heard. This Parliament must always give fair hearing to anybody that is mentioned in any petition or Question so that we are seen to be a just House of Parliament. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I really want to congratulate this Committee – the chairman, the vice- chairman and the members – for a job well done because any Member of Parliament who has travelled abroad will hear officers in our missions informally raising complaints about what is not right in their workplaces. We have never had a formal channel that would enable us to discuss those matters on this Floor and make them an agenda item that needs to be pushed forward to the Executive. So, I feel this is a great opportunity. The ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: to also procure a house that we could use today to finance most of the embassies. I hope that going forward we can change our strategy in terms of how to manage these offices. One, it does not make sense that we continue to pay rent for offices and staff houses instead of us thinking of mortgaging some offices and houses there. At the end of the day, there is no one day Kenya will be without an office in the USA or London. Therefore, if we can have permanent houses and offices for our staff, in the long run ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to tell this Committee, having seen them mention something to do with tourism officers; that, I was an Assistant Minister for Tourism for five years. We changed the style of marketing the country because it was not very effective at that time. We had tourist officers who were not well resourced in terms of budgets for marketing, and who were probably not well trained in terms of marketing tourism. They were doing very little, if anything, in the embassies. We came up with a strategy where we contracted tourism-oriented firms. Like in the USA, there is a ... view
