• 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
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me this opportunity.

At the end of the day, it will add control. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Petition by Hon. Mwadime. Human-wildlife conflicts in Kenya have become a daily phenomenon and it high time the authorities or the powers that be addressed this issue once and for all. I do not see why animals live on very vast land which should otherwise have been occupied by people. The animals have now occupied the entire area to an extent that they cannot be contained and yet the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has very many game rangers. This is because the KWS recruits game rangers every year. ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to support this Bill. I am happy the Committee has agreed with the Senate amendments. I am also happy the Senate brought in amendments which are putting more teeth and strengthening this Bill. On top of it, it is shows that the national Government and the county governments have to work in tandem. That way, we can make binding laws and move this country forward, not disintegrate our country with issues which can be resolved easily. I appreciate that all the clauses which were amended have been accepted. We have avoided the mediation ... view

• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, once again. This Bill has come a bit late because it is a 2014 Bill but it was crucial that this is passed and brought to Parliament. It is going to bring order in our counties and put them on the alert so that they can do their appointments procedurally and at the same time check on those county officials, especially the governors, who are running counties like their own businesses where they pick employees the way they want. It will also give county assemblies, especially the committees, which will be vetting these officers more teeth ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: governor feels should be done, they have to comply with because maybe there were no stringent laws for this purpose yet at the same time they do it so that they can get favours from the governor. Once this law is put in place, it will be very clear and it will be easy for the committees to get the right candidates for particular jobs. When they are vetting, they will also do it according to the law. County governments are no different from the national Government, the Public Service Commission (PSC) or any other body which employs in this ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my remarks on Hon. Njomo’s (Amendment) Bill. I am a Member of the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade where we were looking at these amendments. We had a lot of pressure from interested parties, especially the banking sector who opposed it. We categorically told them that we did not need to go their way, but the way which would benefit the common mwananchi . This will put checks in place to ensure they do not only look at profits, but also benefits their customers from their ... view
