• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I stand to support the Chair of the Committee that we approve these nominees to the Competition Authority. As the Chair has put it, these Kenyans are qualified in all ways. They went through the rigorous process of vetting from the Committee. As a Committee, we found no fault with any of them. Despite the sentiments in the House from some colleagues that it does not reflect the face of Kenya or the national outlook, balancing five names among 42 tribes might be a ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I support the approval of the names that have been tabled. Let us give them the jobs in the Competition Authority. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I support it. It is long overdue. It should have been brought earlier than this period, when we are facing a crisis of financing in the construction of roads in this country. This Bill will save a lot in terms of conflicts, duplication and blame games which have been going around in the counties and constituencies in the country. I believe that each county or constituency has experienced it. It has not been clear which roads belong to the counties and which ones belong to ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Secondary Roads Authority. We would allocate money to KeRRA for a particular road and it would be evaluated, but before the contractor would go to the ground, the county government would come overnight with a grader and work on the same road. Thereafter, you go to the drawing board again. I strongly believe this will solve those problems and the roads will be done expediently without duplication. Let me also add that it is only through infrastructure that we can develop this country, and it is natural justice. When you look at places where there has not been any road, ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: damaged and the driver does not run the risk of causing an accident. Let them put up proper road signs for bumps to be identified. In the same vein, there is influx of boda boda or motorcycles. There are so many of them in the country at this time. They have become a mode of transport, especially in the rural areas and villages. The trouble is that policemen have closed their eyes to the way those motorcycles are used. We have accidents every day. We are burying our children every day because the motorcycles are driven by very young people. ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion as amendment. I support it because I am one of the Members of Parliament of a community which has suffered greatly due to the menace of cattle rustling. That is why I say Members who are opposing this Motion do not know the experiences people go through when they lose their animals, and when their sisters, mothers and wives are raped. These are people who are left with nothing except rats and, maybe, cats. It is a disaster. It is said that it is ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: afraid to mention that even the area Member of Parliament, get a share of the loot. They promote this culture. The Government put in place machinery for ensuring that cattle are not stolen, or people whose cattle are stolen are compensated. The Government should use its machinery to go for those who steal and prosecute them just like a carjacker, murderer or somebody who has stolen from a bank or broken into a shop. They should be treated like criminals as per the law. Those who have been aggrieved because of the stealing culture should be compensated. We should relate ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I rise to support the ranking of students or schools as far as examinations and other assessments are concerned. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I remember the same Hon. Member who brought this amendment Bill brought a Motion which we passed in this House. I am happy he found out that the powers that be did not take into account what this House decided and, therefore, he came up with a Bill. Once this Bill is made into law, the people who are supposed to actualise or to do what it entails will take action because it will be law. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Again, I am happy that once this Bill is enacted, it will not be a subject for variation if a different Cabinet Secretary comes to office. When the former Education Minister brought these changes, there was a lot of hue and cry. There were many who opposed and others who proposed. He did not take time to give the public a chance to decide on the same. He did it unilaterally and there was a lot of resentment in several quarters. view
