• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I support the Motion. Gambling, lotteries and other ways of making money easily have become the order of the day. I imputed in this House that Kenya is becoming a gambling nation. People have become lazy and are not working. The people who are working are committing their salaries into funny gambling, until you find somebody getting out of his mind. I have an example from my place. Somebody spent all the money he got after retirement and he ran mad. view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Most of the radio stations, vernacular and English, and newspapers are talking about gambling. There is Lotto and others where you are told to deposit Kshs50 and then you can earn Kshs1 million. If you place Kshs50 and get Kshs10 million, I do not know what percentage of profit that is. Many people are gambling because of that kind of enticement. This makes people lazy. They do not work. They expect simple handouts. They do not even calculate to know how many people are getting this money. At the end of the day, some people become very poor and a ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, as the Motion has put it clearly, we need to know whether the money that is circulating through MPesa or whatever formula they use with electronic media, is taxed. Does the Government get anything out of it? Who are gaining from it? Many people out there are unknown because lotteries and gambling are done in some dungeons, which are not very well pronounced. People make money from those places. Gambling has gone up to the villages. A certain gadget is being sold and they put it in bars and other social places in the villages, where young people go ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The constitution of the Committee is being challenged by some Members. I do not know who came up with these names or how they were generated. However, I support the idea. The Committee should move in expeditiously to correct the issue. If we reconstitute the Committee, we will delay. Even if we reconstitute the Committee and there are fears of some billions lying somewhere, the same fears will be there. So, I support the Members who are in the Select Committee. They should go on board, do the job and bring us the results. We are watching the Members and ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you read that the Select Committee has been given 60 days to inquire into the betting and gambling industry. The Committee has been given 14 days on the Order Paper. I do not know which one is correct. That notwithstanding, even 30 days are enough. Let them bring that report for us to look at it. We shall save our children, families and people who are already addicted to gambling, so that they can earn their livelihoods in normal and respectable way without looking for easy money, which is dangerous. It is said that when the deal is ... view

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me this opportunity. I support Hon. Jude Njomo’s amendment to this Bill. I strongly support him in that if we allow foreign investors or even local investors who are constructing big establishments, it will encourage many more to enter into that venture. Secondly, I support the idea of doing it outside Nairobi, Mombasa and other big towns, so that we can decongest our cities and towns. I support the amendment. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Before I contribute, I have neighbours and friends here whose cards are not working. I do not know how they will catch your eye. I support the Motion. Provision of water in public places is paramount. As it has been The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: said, water is life. In overcrowded areas like schools, churches and markets, it should be mandatory that there is water and other sanitation requirements for purposes of hygiene and cleanliness. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: It should be noted that in Kenya and in Africa generally, we are always talking of some historical diseases which are as dead as a dodo in developed countries. This is because we have never taken it seriously to make sure that each and every public place has water. At Independence, we said that by this time, each and every household should have water, but unfortunately many institutions, leave alone homes, do not have water. People literally walk five to 10 kilometres in search of water and go back with only 20 litres of water, which is used by the ... view
