For this reason, it is difficult for Kenyans to access basic amenities because things are made difficult the way even the Government is organised. If the IEBC and the Registrar of Persons work hand in glove, we, as Members of Parliament or the President and his deputy, would not be going out there to tell people to register. As soon ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Petition by Hon. Korere. If you want to see the wonders of infrastructure, you only need to drive to Marsabit. It used to take us three days to reach there but now, it takes us eight hours. view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: What Hon. Sara raises are the problems we face in our constituencies. In the olden days, there used to be periodic maintenance of roads. Funds used to be availed and the Ministry of Public Works was always in place. Every season, roads used to be passable. What has happened?

• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the ratification of this Agreement. I want to thank the Committee and Hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo.

Many took that as just simple politics, but today we see the effects ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on that Petition. It is very important.
