• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the great people of Kiminini, my family and Trans Nzoia at large, I take this opportunity to send a message of condolences to the families of the late MP for Belgut Eric Keter and Hon. Francis Nyenze. We pray to the almighty God to give the families of the deceased strength and comfort at this difficult time. The Bible says in Revelations Chapter 7 verse 17 that it is only God who will wipe all the tears. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: I stand here today to mourn the late Francis Nyenze. I worked with him in the House Business Committee and in Public Investments Committee. Last time, we were also in the technical committee of NASA that was looking for a single presidential candidate. He was a humble man, peace maker and team player. He was also disciplined. He respected hierarchy. He was never abusive. It is only about a year ago that we were in Kitui West Constituency to bury his mother. Today, Hon. Nyenze has followed her. We are in this world but when our time will come, we ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: We served together in the leadership of CORD. Where we had issues particularly differences of the members of the coalition, he was a leader who consulted. He was a team leader. He could not do anything concerning FORD-Kenya without consulting me as the representative of the party. That was Nyenze. He was a family man. Many times we could be together and his wife would call. I have even visited him at his House in Karen. He is the age- mate of mother but he used to address me as his brother. That is the kind of respect he had. ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: We pray for the people of Kitui West. We assure them, God willing, Hon. Makali Mulu, we will be there to give our brother a decent sendoff. When he was absent he used to call me and tell me that he had gone to the hospital and I would be present to take charge of our Coalition and counter Hon. Daule if he misbehaved. That is how we were. We were brothers. There is so much we can borrow from this great leader. We pray to Almighty God to give the family strength and comfort at this difficult time. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second. The gist of the word “fund”, is that you can only spend what has been budgeted for. This House has passed so many Motions before, but unfortunately, they are not implemented. When you put the word compulsory, if schools are to plant trees compulsorily, they must be capacitated and funded and that is the importance and the import of that particular amendment. The Motion by Hon. Chepkut is very important and is in line with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We want to salute the late Prof. Wangari Maathai, may her ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: I will speak to it later. For the purposes of this, I second. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, so that we can speak to it as amended. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by Hon. William Chepkut. Before anything, I want to salute Hon. Chepkut and congratulate him for doing this. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you know, Hon. William Chepkut, the Member of Parliament for Ainabkoi is a first-time Member and a fast learner. Indeed, when you go to the Table Office, he is among the first-time Members who have introduced many pieces of legislation. It is my humble request to other Hon. Members and particularly the first-timers to follow suit. I want to tell the people of Anainabkoi that ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: The recommended percentage of forest cover in this country is supposed to be 10 per cent. It is very shameful that we are doing 2 per cent at the moment. Where is the Ministry and the KFS when all this is happening? It is the responsibility of the KFS as per the statute to provide seedlings to schools so that they can plant trees. This House is a budget-making House. When you look at this Motion, the way it has been clearly outlined here by the Mover and the Seconder, you realise that we are now heading to the right ... view
