• 8 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to contribute to the proposal on the amendment of the Constitution to include the NG-CDF. First and foremost, in Starehe Constituency, Nairobi County, where I come from, most of the populace dwell in the slums. The people have benefited from bursaries through the NG-CDF throughout their lives. Therefore, proposing that the NG-CDF be scrapped off will be detrimental to the gains made by the NG-CDF in my constituency. Children from the slums such as Mukuru Kayaba, Marigu-ini, Fuata Nyayo among others, have gone to school courtesy of the NG-CDF. ... view

I also want to thank the great people of Starehe Constituency for electing me as a Member of Parliament to represent them here. I will not miss out congratulating you and Hon. Wetangula for your election as Deputy Speaker and Speaker of this House respectively. I have been elected to this House ... view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: too many promises that the President promised us, my people are very optimistic that this is their time. view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: The Government is on a wave of economic liberation. Most of the people in Nairobi City are hopeful that most of what has been promised to them will be achievable and that the environment will be conducive for them to do business. They also hope that new markets are going to be constructed in Nairobi to accommodate the many people who are unemployed. They are hopeful that job opportunities are going to be created for them by this Government. In general, my constituents are very hopeful that their livelihoods will improve. That is why, being one of them, I am ... view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: About housing, I am an MP for a constituency that has a very huge population living in the slums. These people are optimistic that the affordable housing plan that the Government promised will help them redeem their livelihoods by providing decent housing. Their major concern is that maybe the structures that are going to be used in the schemes may not address the real issues facing the people. We have seen other housing plans being brought on board, where people who benefit are not slum dwellers. These houses have been brought up and sold out to other people who are ... view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: In the Ministry of Trade, my constituents are also traders. The narrative has changed from focusing on big traders to mama mbogas, boda bodas and other people in the informal sector. My people expect that the Cabinet Secretary for Trade, Investment and Industry is going to address the issues from those simple setups. On matters of the cottage industries and the informal sector, how are they going to formalise the informal sector, which employs too many people in this city? How will he go around the issue of import duty, taxes, widening of the tax- base and reducing taxes on ... view

• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: This is also a transformational period where politics may have changed. We expect the Cabinet that is going to be appointed by the President to show some difference in the way they are going to run their affairs. They need to ensure that their relationship with the local view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: is retained, just as they did during the campaigns, where they brought the local view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: to be their point of focus. I, therefore, expect that when they are running the Government, to consider the local mwananchi . Hon. Deputy Speaker, as we move forth, we also have our questions as the youth of Kenya about youth representation in the Cabinet. I know the Committee that is going to vet is going to look into regional balance and everything, but also our role as the youth should be a consideration. We look forward to seeing that we are represented in the Cabinet. We also have another question of incorporating ICT in all the operations of the ... view
