• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, seven years after the Kenya-Uganda Railway was awarded to Rift Valley Railways to enhance efficiency in the railway sector, this objective is far from being achieved. Further, KRC has been laying off employees and disposing of the Corporation’s wagons, stations and railway lines, among other assets, to scrap metal dealers; in the pretext of reviving the Corporation. Hon. Speaker, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following:- (i) the status and performance of the concession programme on train operations to Rift Valley Railways; (ii) the Train Safety Operations Signalling Equipment that is ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Let me also thank Junet, who is my friend, for bringing this issue as regards the governors. But, at the same time, recently in our Committee on Administration and National Security, hon Keynan came up with a proposal to amend the National Flag and Emblem Act so that we can understand who is supposed to use a flag. I think the only noble thing we can do in this House, other than just talking, is to try and change that law, so that we can put up some legislation that can guide us and give us ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, today I was reading in the newspapers and the Controller of Budget – and I want to thank her – has made it very clear that she is not going to give out money for purposes which are not destined for the functions of the county governments. We need to support her, so that she can only give monies that are supposed to be used for purposes of county functions. Recently, we had a crisis in Nakuru. I remember on 1st June when I went to the stadium for the Madaraka Day celebrations, I was heckled by a few ... view

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, it is on the job creation. I came from Nakuru Town East, Nakuru County, where so many people have been engaged in this business. It has really employed so many people, not only the youth, but also the elderly. It cuts across the ages.
