• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to mention something which has not come out very well in this Report. Hon. Kiunjuri has a matter pending before a court of law for 15 years. Ordinarily, in a normal court process, there are usually mentions. The witnesses in this matter were police officers who, after 15 years, have decided to make a recommendation for the termination of the case. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of charcoal burning. Most families use charcoal as a source of energy. What solutions are we providing? The more affluent Kenyans like the Members of Parliament rear livestock. It would be a good proposal that they use biogas since it will reduce the use of firewood and charcoal. Kenya is now a rich country since oil and gas deposits have been found. It is also good to exploit this since it will save our forests. If gas is sold as it is done in Europe and other places, it will reduce the cutting of trees ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: On the incitement matter he was charged with, there were very many other Kenyans then who were agitating for change and were in the NARC Party. I happened to be one of their lawyers - including Hon. Kiunjuri - and the matters have never been terminated. After terminating Hon. Kiunjuri’s case, it will also be fair for the police to terminate the many other matters that are pending before the courts. It is against the law to keep a case in court for too long. In fact, justice delayed is justice denied. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I have looked at this law and I realize that it provides for groups taking up the role of developing seedlings and marketing them. This is a matter that will be handled at both the national and the county level where seedlings could be purchased from such groups. In my constituency we have used a percentage of the CDF money for environmental purposes. We are funding such groups and they are now able to sell seedlings to various places. We have also hired people to protect trees which have been planted by these groups in the forest areas. If that ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Kazungu is our colleague. The EACC has not been very clear with the matter and has been handling it in a very controversial manner. It is also not fair when a young professional like Hon. Kazungu tries to make a move and that is the time the issues are raised. I want to say that not everybody can like all of us here and the nominees. There are mistakes that can be found in one way or another from the nominees’ previous careers. It is only fair for procedure to be followed. Unless a matter is documented within seven ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: There has also been participation by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and international bodies, which have been providing seedlings. Most importantly, since I am running out of time, is the alternative use of energy such as electricity. We have proposed Thwake Dam The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: While finalizing, I want to congratulate and support the nomination of Dr. Mailu who comes from the Ukambani region and my neighbouring constituency Kibwezi West. One time, I had an injury and Dr. Mailu was the first one to arrive in hospital. He made sure that I was taken care of when I was attacked while in Parliament. I do support him. I also want to support the nomination of some politicians into the Cabinet because that will give the Cabinet a feeling of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: in Makueni, which will generate electricity to be used by locals. The electrification going on in the country will enable more people to begin using it in their homes so that we can save trees from being cut down. Otherwise, this is a very important law. I want to support it and urge Members to also support it so that we can save our forests and grow more trees in our country and have a better global environment. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: people who know what representation is and when they are mixed with professionals like Dr. Mailu, then this is going to be a good Cabinet. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I support, Hon. Speaker. view
