• 20 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. I knew Prof. Magoha when I was a postgraduate student at the University of Nairobi. I also worked with him when I was a lecturer at the university. Prof. Magoha has worked in several places. During his tenure at the UON, where there used to be a series of strikes, he stabilised everything. When he joined the Kenya National Examinations Council when the credibility of national examinations was in question, he managed to restore sanity. When you do a trend analysis, you will see that everywhere Prof. Magoha has worked, ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: My intervention is with regard to Question Time. Some of us think that it is a waste of time, unless we have a clear time frame as The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: the Leader of the Minority Party has indicated. For petitions, 60 days are allocated. Question time can also be reduced to reasonable time, if possible, to one month for purposes of proper follow-up. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is an embarrassment that this country cannot feed its people. One of the cardinal responsibilities of a Government it to ensure the security of its citizens, more importantly food security. Allow me to underscore Article 43 of the Constitution, which is very clear. It talks about the right of every Kenyan to clean water and food security. We have heard about the Big Four Agenda, and top on that agenda is food security. We are not yet food secure. Is this public relation by the Government or is it really committed when it comes ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, since you came back from abroad, I do not know what you have been eating. I can see your morphology has changed. It is more feminine. You are looking different and I am struggling to see you. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is a shame. This is a Government that cannot feed its people. It is a shame on the part of our county governments. The spirit of devolution was to devolve power and at the same time services so that they can get closer to the people. The first line of defence when it comes to matters of food security is the county government. When it comes to disaster management, the first line of defence is the county governments. We know that 2.5 per cent of the budget goes there, but what is happening ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: At Independence, we suffered from three things namely, hunger, poverty and disease. Down the line, we still have problems of hunger, disease, poverty, nepotism, tribalism and corruption. Those people who have been implicated in matters of corruption should step aside. I thank the Member for Ndhiwa for coming up with such a wonderful Motion. I wish you could allocate us more time so that we express our displeasure on how the Jubilee Government is sleeping on the job. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I rise to oppose the amendment. This Bill originated from the National Assembly. It then went to the Senate, where it has stayed for more than a year. Now the Senate is bringing it back with some outrageous and unconstitutional amendments. For instance, if you talk about the roads board which is composed of members who do not come from the Member of Parliament’s office, but they come from the Constituencies Development Fund Committee The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: office, the two are totally different. Of course, we know very well that when you speak to such a Bill we only speak to the amendments and I am speaking to the amendments. I want the Senate to know that it is not the MP’s office. They come from the CDFC office. There is a difference between a CDFC office and the MP’s office. Maybe they were not aware. The CDFC members are actually gazetted and there is a clear framework as per the NG-CDF Act on how they are elected. We have representation of the disabled, youth and women. ... view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
