• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue is shared prosperity. I come from Kitui County where we had the only B Class road that had never been tarmacked, and I think it is the last one in the country. Right now, let me take this opportunity to congratulate our President. He has tarmacked the 194 kilometres road plus 34 going on. That is what we call shared prosperity. If the Bill goes through, we will not need to go through the hardship we have faced in Kitui of the leadership lobbying and intense lobbying. We will be distributing our resources equally and encouraging the ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue is inclusivity. The Prime Minister will represent a certain community and the President another community. The Deputy President will also be there and many other positions that we have just created. This inclusivity is the talk of our country. Every time we fight for the few senior Government positions that we have. If at all we are going to have this, then we are going to have what we call inclusivity.

• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: The Bill proposes to include the Leader of the Official Opposition in this part. This person is supposed to be empowered even more than the President to check the misdoings that will be going on in the Government. So, the creation of the office of the Official Opposition is very critical towards overseeing the Government. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: We always say that we have a right to do this and that, but do you have a responsibility as a citizen to guard what is already on the table? This Bill has clearly listed all the responsibilities that a citizen of this country will be executing. That is why I laud the BBI. On the issue of natural disasters and manmade disasters, the BBI has proposed several measures to ensure safety and security for Kenyans. There is also the issue of devolution, which is the biggest gainer if properly implemented. We have seen the way devolution can work wonders ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I want to support this Bill and thank the Senate for coming up with it. There is a saying I want to remind this House. It says: “Old people were young people before young people were people.” I picked that saying from an intellect somewhere. The Bill is so clear and very important. First of all, it provides the definition of an older person. That it is a person of the age of 60 and above. I am sure in this House there are ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I have too many cases in my constituency and in the country at large. When older people are abused, they do not have anywhere to go. They do not even know the procedures. They do not even have resources to use to report the abuses. So, this is one of the key objectives and I like it. If it is properly implemented, we are going to have rights of older people respected in our society. Another key objective that we need to look at is the protection of their status and dignity, which is very important. When you age, you ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not want to comment on it. Let us proceed. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I repeat that I do not want to comment on it. Let us proceed with the other business on the Order Paper. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I would like first to congratulate the honourable Member who has brought forth this Bill. Just like myself, he is also a member of the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA). The Bill actually elicits the memories of 2012 and 2013 when I vied for the position of council member in the KNYC. I was competitively elected by the people of my constituency. We came up with the policies that informed the mandate of the KNYC. One of the most important issues was the advocacy and lobbying for resources that would lead ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have looked at the proposed amendments and one of the key objectives was to depoliticise the NYC. When we look at the way we used to elect the members, most of us had to seek support from our political parties and leaders. That was not the right way to do it. For you to become a member, you had to lobby for resources from the local leaders, including the Members of Parliament. This way, we are going to have a competitive process of recruiting the right people to run the NYC. So, I support this based ... view
