• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on the Report of the Mediation Committee. I have looked at it carefully and I have also followed part of what was happening in the Mediation Committee. The replacement--- view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on Clause 5, there is a bit on budgeting. That is because after a financial year, it is good to know that the monies of a country have been used well. Therefore, in future, it could be that although the current qualifications are good - and I support them - it is good to go for the highest possible standards in the accounting profession. Nowadays, people have a degree in accounting. They have also gone on to do other courses in relation to accounting. Even if they have Masters or doctorate degrees, the best suited candidate should be ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives. We had noted that a few things needed to be improved in the Senate amendments. When it comes to local manufacturing and the addition of animal foodstuffs, it complicates the matter because it needs new raw materials and a lot of due care. Animals are close to people and that is manufacturing and treatment thereof. We considered it. I support the amendment. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The Senate improved the punishment from Kshs1,000 to Kshs500,000, if you commit an offence in the manufacturing or making fertilizers or if you sell fertilizers which do not exist or is poisonous. It is a very serious matter because if the fertilizer is poisonous, it is going to poison crops. If the foodstuffs that are manufactured are poisonous, the sentence in the original Act was Kshs1,000 and the imprisonment term was one month. Owing to the seriousness of the matter, which the Senate seems to have forgotten, we proposed to improve ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support the Bill as I congratulate the Mover, hon. Emanuel Wangwe. In many parts of rural Kenya, examination fees are very hard to come by for some parents. We know very well that education is the equalizer of all Kenyans. If I had not gotten the opportunity to acquire proper education at Starehe Boys Center, I would not be in this House today. Today, we have free primary education. The Government, in the recent past, has stated that it will be paying fees balances for secondary school graduates who have ... view

• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: There are loud consultations and I cannot be heard. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Not exactly. I am just saying that promotion of our citizens is very good before we give priority to other people. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to comment on the Petition by hon. Birdi in that there are three main weighbridges in the country. Sometimes what a truck weighs in Mombasa and what it weighs in Mlolongo is different from what it weighs in the Rift Valley. This affects many people and the Kenya National Highways Authority seems to be new and not familiar with their work. They have a mixture of policemen and civilian employees working together and the main idea seems like to take bribes at the end of the day. In fact, many people want something ... view
