• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Finally, we must make sure that there is no fault in dams which are being constructed and especially, these mega ones where billions of shillings have been spent. This is because once they crack or there is a mistake such that the water washes people downstream, we have no mechanism other than to sue some people or prosecute them. We have to make sure that proper science and engineering is used to ensure that these dams do not break down. view

• 2 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Refugees are a worldwide crisis and the earliest this was spotted was 3,000 or 4,000 years ago, when in the Mosaic Law we are able to see cities of refuge. Funny enough, the Mosaic Law, other than in very unlikely situation has not been contradicted by much legislation in the world. If you look at the Mosaic Law, one of the requirements was to take care of the refugees, the homeless, the less fortunate and those without food. It was really a serious requirement. And when someone committed manslaughter, they would run to a city of refuge. Coming to modern ... view

I am very familiar with what has been happening there. It is clear under the law there are methods which are used by anyone to acquire a piece of land. From the information given in the Petition, it seems that some procedures were followed. Even notices were given. This is not the only forest which has been affected in one way or the other. We have to be careful that a wrong ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support these Regulations. Procurement and disposal of public property is a very major thing in the country. All the budget that we approve ends up in the national Government and the counties. At one point or another, there has to be procurement of all the Government is buying at the national and county levels. The law which has been there is very good, but has been lacking in terms of Regulations which have to be made under this Act. Now that the Regulations have come forth, they are ... view
