• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Committee also learnt that KCAA plans to procure surveillance equipment at the cost of US$50 million to enhance border protection especially in detecting illegal drones. The Members raised concerns on the cost-effectiveness of the proposed acquisition of the equipment and the returns on investment. There is need for solid legislative guidelines before any investment is made on the drones’ surveillance. Having considered the said Regulations pursuant to provisions of Article 94(6) of the Constitution, the Civil Aviation Act, 2013, the Statutory Instruments Act No. 23 of 2013, the Interpretation and General Provisions Act Chapter 2 which regulate the making, ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Having considered the Civil Aviation (Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems) Regulations, 2017 and the Interpretation and the General Provisions Act, Chapter 2 which regulate the making, scrutiny and publication of regulations and, having extensively conferred with the regulation-making authority, the Committee recommends that pursuant to Standing Order No. 210(4)(b) and Section 15(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act, the Civil Aviation (Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems) Regulations, 2017, be annulled in entirety for the aforementioned reasons. As I conclude, allow me to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the Members of the Committee on Delegated Legislation for exceptional ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: the Authority, we were shown a video where an aircraft collided with a drone. The passengers escaped death narrowly; a huge aircraft in one of the parts of the country. We also noted that, upon checking with other countries on what is happening, drones are used for security installations exclusively. They are used for medical purposes in Rwanda – to transport blood from hospital to hospital. Largely, there are very many drones which have been apprehended at the airport by the authorities. We also noted that the security systems installation in this country were not very well represented. This is ... view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to observe that the Ministry of Water Services and Sanitation and the votes therein are important. Although, this matter is in both national and county levels, there has been an allocation to the management of water services, where this Ministry has already made provisions. There are committees which manage water services at the grassroots and national level. A lot of times, there are issues as to who is in-charge. Although money has been allocated, in future, we would like to see proper use of this money and ensure that water management and ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. First, I want to applaud the Budget and Appropriations Committee for conducting public participation in accordance with the Constitution. Makueni county was picked and a team went to Makueni County headquarters which is also the headquarters of Makueni Constituency. The public had an opportunity to engage with this Committee and from the Report, I can see that out of the three main projects the wananchi gave to the Committee, only one was considered, namely, the Thwake Bridge, which is allocated Kshs150 million. The electronic ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: A very important road was proposed, but unfortunately, it has not been captured. Also, a Government housing scheme was also raised, which was started in the 1990s and was abandoned. I brought a Petition in this House concerning it, which was approved and taken care of. We appreciate that we cannot have all projects taken at once. The Ukia-Emali Road links several counties. I am pleading with the Government and the Committee to probably include this in the Budget in future. This road connects Emali-Wote-Masii and Kithimani, therefore one can easily travel from Loitoktok. It will be like a by-pass ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support Hon. Manje’s Petition. In Makueni, we had a similar experience when the railway was being constructed through the constituency. Currently, we have Thwake Dam where land owners are being compensated. There are serious challenges. As much as Hon. Manje would want it to be done next week, we first need to confirm that the money is in the Budget through the relevant Ministry. It is the relevant Ministry which works with the National Land Commission. There have been challenges of different nature, including corruption in compensation. Some people have been compensated for land ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: These are regulations under provisions of delegated powers which are made by the Cabinet Secretary in charge of planning and also which are subjected to Parliament especially the Committee on Delegated Legislation which I serve. So it does not escape the scrutiny of Parliament and it is very good if it could be included so that... view
