• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to air my views on this Motion. One, when I heard comments from my respected Member from Garissa Township, I became very concerned. For all Members in this House, we are equal before the guys who elected us from our constituencies. That is even if you have different opinions. You The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: have only one vote in this House. If anyone had a different opinion, the same Bill came before this House. It was committed before a Committee. If anyone has a different view, they should have appeared before the Committee and expressed their views – not to intimidate Members of this House. As I support this Motion, I have a lot of respect to Article 118 of our Constitution. That is where public participation is paramount. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the consultations are very high. view

• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I wish to remind Members that my constituents are happy that I am here to articulate my views.

• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: around 19th, 2022 on Monday morning. There are enough reasons why we should move the election date. I appeared before my electorates in the last election and we actually saw the challenges that anyone in this House experienced, unless you were nominated and most likely you are the ones who are opposing. They do not have the experience of elections. Our children are so important to us. Their examination is equally important. An election in August messes up with their programmes. Tourism in this country is so important. I was in Maasai Mara last week and I can tell you ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I heard an honourable Member say that election is very expensive. Who said election or justice is cheap? It is always expensive to get it right. I want to remind a few Members that are of the opinion that we should not change the election date because it is expensive, should table the figures before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee so that we can articulate them. When we talk of an extension of a term of presidency, I am surprised that we are concerned if the Members of this House discuss about extending an election date, but have no ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion by Hon. Baya. I congratulate Members of Parliament from Coast and I also remind them that they should not whine about other areas getting subsidies from Government if they do not bring their own Motions. I am sure if there are areas that have benefited from Government it is because there are Members of Parliament who are active on the same. I rise not because I come from Coast, but because I recognise that coconut products are very important for this country. The children and families ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: As a country, we have a large group of young men and women with no jobs. If we utilised this sector, our young men and women could be employed to support their families. As a country, we cannot every single day say that this country relies on farming yet we are doing less to assist farmers. If we look at the budgets of the last three years, agriculture received the minimal allocation on key sectors that require funding in relation to output. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I encourage our colleagues to support this Motion so that farmers are compensated so ... view
