• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the comprehensive environmental issues which the Committee, in which I serve, undertook. From the background, environmental issues are global. They are regional and national and any legal entity within the country is not an exception. We received submissions and I led a team which visited all plants including… view
• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. If I may repeat, environmental issues have global, regional and national impact in which any legal entity cannot be an exception. Environmental issues come with serious economic, development and empowerment The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: issues which the complainants and LDKL raised to support the undertaking during the presentation in the Committee. For example, both entities tried to convince the Committee how they have invested billions. They even indicated how much they are remitting to the Exchequer, but we looked into several factors apart from economical human life. That is why the recommendations were against the LDKL. During our investigations, we went to the said areas during the wee hours of the night because they were releasing the smell at night. One of the interesting things which was raised by Erdermann is that some young ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I will start by congratulating my able Chair for the way he has undertaken his duty. We have traversed almost all the forest covers within the country. That is why we have presented a very convincing Report with regard to the same. When it comes to issues of conservation, I support the Government for its efforts. By the way, if you go to the Mau Forest during the evictions, if you see the Leader of the Majority Party in the Senate dashing into his Probox and going away, it can tell ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I rise to oppose the amendment. It is on record within the committee that I am the one who raised the alarm of the existence of a hotel in Karura Forest which was confirmed to be owned by Mr. Kinyua. It is so absurd that we are removing squatters from the forest due to deforestation while now the person who is in charge of taking action is the one who was doing deforestation by owning a hotel in the forest. During the same session, Mr. Kinyua did not even take time ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, first, I want to congratulate you on being elected as the Deputy Speaker, and request for your protection because I want to make my first statement in this executive House. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: One, I thank the people of Kasipul for the support which brought me to this House. I am really perturbed with what is happening outside while Members are enjoying executive powers here. What I saw yesterday is what we call political raping. Why should policemen be involved in destruction of property, even if the President is being sworn in? As the Member for Kasipul, my allegiance is to the Constitution, the people of Kasipul and my principal, His Excellency Raila Amolo Odinga. I want to state categorically that Kenya is bigger than an individual. We are here jointly as Members ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Two, I support the Motion which is in the House because it is in line with factors which will save life. It will also give us security when policemen are responding to emergencies. It will also develop the country. In case of property destruction, the response will be very good. However, there are some factors which have to be considered. We are creating a law that designates service lanes for emergency vehicles, but there is one question. There are even some areas in the Republic of Kenya which do not have roads at all. We should have very good planning, ... view
