• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: want to have with the Ministry of Tourism so that they can tell you what they think works best in terms of marketing the country. With those few remarks, I beg to support and congratulate this Committee for finding it fit to do this great job. I hope it will not be just any other report that we pass and nothing is done. We hope that come the next budget cycle, we can see actual budgetary allocations to meet some of these critical demands by our foreign missions. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to add my voice to that of the Leader of the Majority Party in congratulating Mrs. Serah Kioko whom I have known for a long time since I joined this House over 17 years ago. I know she has what it takes. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: It is refreshing to see that we now have a very senior woman in this House and in the Parliamentary Service Commission so, we are very happy. After Mrs. Munga left we wondered whether we would ever get another woman at that level. Therefore, I am really glad and so are all the women MPs. We are glad that the Commission found it fit to appoint a woman who obviously meets the merit. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to congratulate Serah Kioko on her appointment. I also wish to congratulate the PSC for making sure we have women in leadership positions in this House. I also want to note that there are a commendable number of employers of the National Assembly and the Senate with disabilities. This is a good step in our attainment of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A person like Chemweno is on a wheel chair and also works and serves this National Assembly. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I am grateful for the positions which have been awarded to persons with disability and also congratulate Serah Kioko again for the new position. As she has been informed by the Leader of the Majority Party, Aden Duale, the job here is a bit bulky than in the Senate. So, she will have to up her game and make sure she works around the clock to ensure that Members are comfortable. I also wish to call upon Members to make sure they accord Serah Kioko the necessary assistance she may require in her new duties. view

• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order because we do not want anybody to play with our children. We had a repeat election last year. There was a mention that our children would not die if the school calendar was moved a bit. Kenyans reacted and overreacted. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: So, he should concentrate on the election calendar and forget about the issue of our children and the school calendar. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. At the outset, the Bill is timely and I would like to thank the Senate for coming up with it. For us, we will always endeavour to support what benefits Kenyans. Our population is continuously increasing. As we increase in population, manyattas and villages will be turned into towns. The more we turn a bigger chunk of our land mass into some small towns, cities and villages, the more farming areas shrink. In developed countries, cities and urban areas are controlled so that a majority ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: and a toilet. If the whole country becomes like that, then we risk running short of food because of lack of agricultural and farming land. I can also give an example of uncontrolled urban areas or cities. For instance, the town I come from by the name of Narok was planned by the then paramount chief and since it was the white settlers who needed where to put up a town, from their own little knowledge, they decided that because they did not want those settlers to encroach on their grazing areas, they decided to allocate them a ditch that ... view
