• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: working with the airlines. For instance, Wilson Airport is very busy. I am sure South Africa and Botswana have similar busy airports like Wilson Airport. This will increase the movement of people, goods and services. I believe with this development, Kenya will do better. Kenya is a bigger economy although it is now facing a lot of competition from Uganda and Rwanda airlines. In fact, Rwanda Airlines has grown, but it is still working with Kenya Airways. You are likely to find Kenya Airways everywhere connecting to the rest of the world. We now have flights to New York, China, ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. I thank the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Sicily Kariuki, the Principal Secretary, Mr. Irungu, together with all the engineers in the Ministry and the many stakeholders who have worked on this matter. I also give special thanks to the Committee dealing with water, led by my good friend, Hon. Chairman. They have done very well. This is a game changer for the world. I believe the Chairperson of this Committee will follow up on the implementation. He has really helped this country. Water is very important. We are dealing with ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: There are other constructions of many other dams going on all over the country. They are even constructing small water pans. We should focus on water harvesting in the country, so that it becomes a major thing. The current challenge is the distribution of water. One time, I constructed a borehole sponsored by the breweries in Makueni, which happened to have a lot of water and has supplied water to my village within a circumference of 10 kilometres. When I was in school, we used to go very far to fetch water. Now, children have piped water in my village. ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I am one of the Members of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. As it has been said by the Mover and from the Report, the Constitution has to be followed wherever any regulations are to be made in this country. Secondly, the law under that particular regime and the regulations there under must also be followed. The moment any regulation making body does not conduct sufficient and proper public participation, their activity automatically becomes null and void. The matter of petroleum is very serious. You know how prices ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this very important Petition. Although under the law, the petitioner cannot now sue the Government because of time lapse, he has every right to come to this House for assistance. Nominations and election violence are very destructive affairs and occur due to competition. In this case they are the ones who lost and still suffered damage. That tells you how painful it is. It damaged important property which would have served the family very well. It results to destruction of property, losses of livelihood of that family ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I think other than just the House looking at this Petition, it should be looked at universally. So, we can come up with a better way of dealing with nominations competition in political parties. You know in many occasions once the nominations are over, the election is over. Many times, you are given a certificate, you take it to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and you are told it is not the correct one. This is because somebody else has already been cleared by your party and there is no legal redress. This is a very important Petition ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What happens in students’ elections is very much a replica of what happens in national elections. The Ministry has given guidelines that in primary and secondary schools, students engage in democratic processes. However, when they get to university, they find that the system is different. It does not conform to the current law. What happens in any process must conform to the Constitution and to good practice. So, what is most important is to make sure that students at university practise free and fair elections. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
