• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to urge the Government to come up with a policy to assemble those motorbikes in our country, instead of importing those machines from China and other countries. We can start a subsidized industry by the Government. I understand those machines are not complicated to manufacture. We can get those parts before they are assembled and assemble them here. In the process, we can create jobs for our young people. We can start training them in our training institutions so that they can gain skills of assembling motorbikes and, in the course of time, ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an issue of licensing. Driving licences and insurance of the same machines has been assumed. I do not know if the Traffic Department has this in mind. Those motorcycles are taken to be more of bicycles. When they appear in the market, those who buy them are not directed to know exactly what is supposed to be done. Most of them end up buying and failing to register them. Others just exchange them, sell them and other people buy them. Sometimes, it becomes like buying a shirt from the shop and, at the end ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the young people who ride those motorbikes just go to a school field and get trained for an hour or so and the following day, they ride the motorcycles. That is very dangerous for the pedestrians and passengers. That is why we have got each and every county in this country with a ward somewhere in the hospital with so many victims of motorbike accidents. Those who survive the accidents are now languishing in hospitals with broken ribs. We need proper training for motorbike riders. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in my constituency, I have decided to train as many motorcycle riders as possible. But the problem is getting the licences. It is very tricky. Therefore, I would like the issuance of licences for motorbikes to be decentralized - even for motor vehicles. Those services should be brought closer to the people in the counties or even constituencies, so that those people can get those services as fast as possible. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, since Independence, our roads have been designed for vehicles and other machines. We do not have lanes designed for motorbikes and it ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. May I say that the Members of the Committee had enough time to ventilate on this. Could we get a chance because they already have had a chance to contribute in the Committee? This is because most of the Members who have spoken are Members of the Committee. Could we reduce debating time to three minutes? view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Adjournment Motion. First, let me take this opportunity to thank the Speaker of the National Assembly and his entire team for the good work they have done, especially in conducting business in this House. Secondly, I would like to thank my colleagues in this House. As a first time Member of Parliament, I have learnt a lot from my colleagues, who have been here before; we are still getting experience and I am happy to say that I am up to the task. Of late, I ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: country. We are an oversight and legislative House for the purpose of driving this country forward. Therefore, I would like to call upon my colleagues on both sides of the House to, at least, aim towards achieving unity of purpose. Sometimes, we have some of our colleagues who are just out to derail us when debating very important issues. They tend to derail us by raising acrimony, name calling and shouting, which are not very good to the public out there. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is the matter of Statements which we ask for in the House. I am happy ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have an issue in my constituency, which was created from two constituencies – parts of Igembe North and Igembe South were brought together to form Igembe Central. I have been agitating for the gazettement of this constituency, because and the people of Igembe Central are being denied their constitutional right to receive service, just because we do not have a District Commissioner (DC), an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) and a police station; any time we have problems our issues are not addressed adequately because we do not have the structures which are supposed to ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I am happy my brother, Alloys, is here and he is up to the task. He told me he is going to do it and I am reminding him of it; ortunately, he is seated here with us tonight. Please, my people of Igembe Central need gazettement of their area, so that they can also get their rightful share of the national cake, if I may put it that way. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have an issue with the National Authority for Campaign against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA). NACADA is coming up with policies and saying that they are going to regulate the hours for chewing miraa . I would like to tell NACADA that miraa is not like beer, food or uji, whic you sit at a table and eat or drink. Miraa is chewed as you work, as you graze your cows in your shamba or when you are driving; when they talk of regulating chewing of miraa I do not understand what they are trying ... view
