They are not exposed enough to attain experience in the spheres that they work in. It is only fair that we appreciate that the world is moving in a very revolving ... view
• 24 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to weigh in on this matter. From the outset, I congratulate the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the recommendations on the budgetary cuts. This has resulted from the agitation that the public meted on us, as Parliament and the Government as a whole. It is now time we should think about the principle of the three arms of Government, that is, the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary. The view of the public is that our arm of Government is performing dismally and is purportedly being controlled by the ... view

In my constituency alone, there are the Jeevanjee Housing Project, Pangani Housing Project, and the Starehe Point Housing Project that was launched by the President but has not taken off.

These are some of the issues that we need to look into and address. We need to respect ... view

• 4 Jun 2024 in National Assembly: In May 2024, the Government of Kenya directed that all structures built on riparian land should be demolished, following the heavy rainfall that adversely affected tracts of land across the country.
