• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not know when hon. Tongi, the Member from Kisii became Njagagua, the Member from Mbeere. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. Indeed, I rise at this moment to support this Motion by my good colleague David Ochieng, and say that it is high time that the Government stepped in to subsidise the bodaboda owners in acquiring licences. As my colleagues have said, many of us have had a chance to use boda bodas, one for mobilization, and two, to transport our supporters, and even ... view

• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: operators. We know that getting a licence by a boda boda operator costs about Kshs7,000. Many of these young Kenyans who are now new owners of motorcycles do not have the ability to pay this Kshs7,000 to get a licence. Hon. Deputy Speaker, now I come to the other small issue. When they do not have licences they are continually harassed by policemen.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at the pillars of Vision 2030, I believe transport is a key cog to attaining it. I ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it was related. When the Chairman was speaking, he said that some buildings were being grabbed.

• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me. You have stated very clearly that this Parliament should not go by newspaper cuttings or some matter raised in a sensational newspaper. I do not believe that this qualifies for House proceedings, but that ruling or any court proceedings have not been brought before you. So, hon. Kaluma is not barred by the issue of personal interest. In any event, and with a lot of respect to all the Members of Parliament, other than a few of them who are not married, all of us have interest because we have children. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I will speak from the point of a practising legal practitioner. I have seen occasions where the law is very clear that the interest in this matter is that of the child. That is the paramount interest in all these pieces of legislation.
