• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank and congratulate Hon. Bashir. I can assure him he will come for a second term because he comes from a livestock zone with many pastoralists. Indeed, I am surprised that we do not have a livestock and livestock products Board, and yet, we have many Boards like Sugar Board, Fish Board and many others in place. I am surprised a sector that controls 12 per cent of what we feed on daily basis does not have a Board. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I rise to support this Bill and congratulate the Mover. The function of this Board is very comprehensive and I would like to lament on the idea of it developing and rehabilitating livestock marketing infrastructure. I recall when I was a child, my grandfather used to rear livestock and he used to sell hides and the carcass of the livestock. These things are no longer many because of climate change. This sector is neglected. One of the functions of this board would be to support infrastructure improvement in the slaughterhouses. I do not know how many slaughterhouses we have. Some ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I would also like to comment on the issue of composition of the board. It is very clear. We need to have people with appropriate expertise sitting in the board. With those few remarks, I beg to support and request the Members of this House to support this Bill. view

• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: (i) Could the Commission explain the criteria used in the recruitment and promotion of teachers? (ii) How many teachers have been recruited and promoted in Kitui County in the last two years? view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity. Indeed, this is a very emotive Bill that has been brought to this House by Hon. Jude Njomo. I find it very difficult to speak when the economy is like Hon. Wamalwa has said. But, allow me to add my voice to it. Capping of interest rates work all over the world and mostly in developed countries. But, of late, I have seen sub-Saharan African counties implementing interest rates capping. As I recall, interest rates play a very big role in terms of spurring economic growth. Interest rates are ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: lending to the riskier small loan seekers. That is why we need to review this law so that banks can start lending money to local consumers. I support this Bill based on the fact that most of our youth have brilliant ideas, but do not have access to funds and capital when they want to start a business. For us to drive the Big Four Agenda in terms of manufacturing and job creation, we have to ensure there is unlimited access to credit facilities and, specifically, cheap credit. It is not a private matter that our President is a key ... view
• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I rise to support the Motion brought by Hon. Tecla for free screening of this type of cancer in women. I have always longed to hear from the President and the stakeholders in the Ministry of Health declaring cancer a national disaster. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Just two weeks ago, we lost one great Chief Executive Officer in Africa to cancer. We lost our colleagues just last week because of this menace of cancer. That is why anything to do with cancer must be supported and is emotional. view
