• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity and consideration given to me. I rise to support the Bill. Alone, I can do little, but together, we can do much more. This is my new saying which I will develop and base on as I support this Bill. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The CBOs play a key role especially in my constituency because they are very many. They help the community in terms of infrastructure, financial activities and everything. Let me begin by thanking the Committee for seeing it wise to come up with this Bill to legalise these groups, so that things can be done in a free, fair and transparent manner. We have faced a lot of challenges and issues in distributing the Uwezo Fund. Some members do not take majority of these groups seriously. If we will have a Bill recognising CBOs, things will work out smoothly. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: If this Bill is passed immediately, we will empower our people economically. In a community group, you will invest and deal with the funds with proper protection. Also, they can raise or borrow money from anywhere even banks if legally recognised. I do not want to say much. This is a very good Bill and if it is implemented, it will help many CBOs. This is the way to eradicate poverty. I do not want to support the issue of bottom-up approach, but still, we can borrow a lot by implementing this approach and empowering our people. This will ease ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In fact, I will adopt the name very soon and it will be legally recognised by everybody in the world. I am the original CNN. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Allow me to inform you that I am a Member of the Committee on Implementation and I was lucky to accompany my colleagues during the investigation in Mwatate Constituency. I can authoritatively confirm that we visited the site and interacted with several stakeholders. One of the key issues we noted was that Taita Sisal Estate owns 30,000 acres of land in that ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Other investors in this country can emulate this. There was good CSR. The way it had been planned, they had already provided accessibility by the community to the school and other surrounding homesteads. This report encouraged us on how things ought to be done in a free, fair and transparent manner. I am confirming that we investigated. In fact, I thought that because we did this in 2018, I personally thought that the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning should have implemented it a while ago. There were about 6,000 acres which Taita Estate gave freely to squatters around the ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity given to me. Let me appreciate the work of the Committee and without hesitation, congratulate the nominees to this Authority and particularly Ms. Lena Munuve who comes from my constituency, Mwingi West. I know her as a very competent person who has worked in the private sector many times and has exemplary performance in all the institutions she has worked with. This Authority must ensure there is enough protection for consumers so that their rights are not abused by unscrupulous traders and people who offer services and products. The other issue ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I support the ratification of the agreements between Kenya and South Africa, and Kenya and Botswana. I am lucky because I worked for an airline for eight good years during my career. Let me start by congratulating the Committee. If there is a Committee that has been overworking for the last five years, it is this Committee. We have seen the road network expanding in a free, fair and transparent manner. We have seen so many agreements coming to this this House for ratification. Let me congratulate the Chairperson for a ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I would like to support the Motion on the Ratification on the Agreement amending the Air Transport Agreement between Kenya and the USA. This will have a great multiplier impact on our economy. One of the key things that we need to note is that Kenya and the USA have come a long way in helping each other in many aspects. There are so many Kenyans living in the USA and also Americans living in Kenya who really strain when they travel between the two countries. Most of the time, they ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: There are so many other things that I can speak to in terms of tourism. Our tourism needs to be boosted at the moment. It contributes 12 per cent to our GDP. If we ratify this Agreement, we will experience many benefits. Majority of our tourists do not prefer coming to Kenya because they have to go through Europe or other destinations to reach the country. If we ratify this, I will be excited to see American Airlines and other airlines in America flying directly to Kenya from the USA instead of going through other countries. Lastly, because I do ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. Let me thank the Committee for the wonderful protocols they are bringing to the House. I support the ratification of this Protocol to the African Charter on Human Rights of older people and people with disabilities. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will recall that an elderly person at home or anywhere is a living treasure. Personally, I am lucky to have a grandmother who is 116 years old. She brings a lot of joy in the family. Who am I to object the ratification of any protocol that is ... view
