• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support the Bill. As the Leader of the Majority Party and the seconder have put it, this Bill is meant to cure some of the issues which have been overlooked by builders, planners or those who are charged with the work of seeing how we lay down various structures in various parts of our country. The current Act concentrates much on urban areas. It is a deviation so that, at least, our rural areas can be brought into the picture and be properly planned. Physical ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: We have had cases where fire has broken in our slums and our towns and the fire engine has had nowhere to pass through to get to the destination of where the fire has broken out. People complain that the Government is not assisting them to address those disasters but the problem is the developers and people who have put up structures that have blocked the way. That is where now the issue of penalties come in. If you put up a structure where it is not supposed to be, you should be surcharged, especially if that particular structure is ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: With co-ordination, there will be proper use of land and we will improve the safety of the land users and the facilities that are put up. We will also save on costs where buildings collapse or save lives and property. The Bill is timely and once it is enacted, it will cure all this. I thank you and I support. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Before I go ahead and support it. I will request that when we come to contribute to debate in this House, we need to get our facts right. If we do not have the facts, we should not impute improper motive on other people. When a Member talks of Kshs3 billion, I do not know where he got those statistics from or who told him that money was spent. Therefore, it is unfair to tell us that the Jubilee Government spent so much money ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: sugar industry and especially the bureaucracy, cartels and the like which should be wiped out. In the process, we look for a way of streamlining the same, then we pump in money where we can realise the benefits. Look at Uchumi Supermarket. Every year there is a budget to rekindle that supermarket but it is still going down. This is because you just put in money and employ somebody to take that money. Once he is through with the money, you remove him and there is no money. You put in more money and bring another person to siphon the ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I support the Motion as moved by my colleague, Hon. William Chepkut. I remember in the 11th Parliament, we had a similar Motion. Despite not being in the same wordings, every speaker was over-emphasising the need to do afforestation in our country. Trees have been destroyed wantonly by human beings because of the growing population. I strongly believe that we have mechanisms and technology to stop the destruction, but it has gone on unabated. I feel tormented and disgusted when just a Motion is ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Kasarani stadiums yet there are officers housed there. They have vehicles and guns. They patrol the forest every now and then, but the best thing they do is wanton destruction of the forests. They work in cahoots with their seniors and use the local community to destroy our forests. Every night, you see lorries driving out of the forests carrying tonnes of firewood and timber. Tree nurseries which were there when we were young have already been destroyed. This is a wakeup call from this House to the Ministry concerned, that they should encourage tree planting and conserve the forests ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I believe this is the last bunch of constituencies which had not brought their names. I support that they also be included in the list. However, we are yet to get the others gazetted. I do not know where the delay is. I remember the Leader of the Majority saying that the gazettement would be done by Friday and up to now it is yet to be done. This delay sometimes makes most Members of Parliament worry on how they are going to handle their electorate ... view

• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion which I support. This exercise is long overdue and the faster we do it the better because most of our old projects are yet to be completed and others have stalled. As we are almost going for our long break we need this money urgently so that we can complete our projects. Therefore, I urge that as we approve this Motion and have the names gazetted as the Leader of the Majority Party has said, the National Treasury and the NG-CDF Board should move fast and ... view
