• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: I am sorry for the inconvenience, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: (Nakuru Town East, JP) asked the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development: (i) whether he is aware that the construction of Nakuru-Kiambogo Road has stalled; and, (ii) whether he could provide details of the project with regard to the contractor awarded the contract, the amount of money allocated to the project and its expected time of completion. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. I thank the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations for bringing this Motion. Of course, it was not right for Hon. Mbui, who is in the leadership of the House, to get out of the topic or out of order. However, it shows how democratic this country is: that any person can rise and question anyone. That is a huge step forward for the country. Democracy has really grown. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I do not want to repeat the benefits of the Protocol that the Mover and the Seconder have indicated if, as a Parliament, we ratify it. The advantages are huge particularly on sharing of security-related matters. That is something the member countries are going to benefit a lot from as they address insecurity. We all have been affected by insecurity in this region. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: There are advantages emanating from economic integration, for example on trade and recognition of academic qualifications. That is something we need to look into. We have addressed academic issues at the lower level, but we have not done that at the university level. I hope Prof. Magoha, assuming he will be approved by the House, will fix the mess in our universities. Qualifications of our graduates has always been questioned where people are said to buy academic qualifications. He should fix that so that we can have and export quality expertise that will make this country proud. That is very ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Kenyans are very industrious. Once Kenyans go to other countries and acquire property there, as Hon. Mbui said, they will want assurances concerning their establishments. People should not be threatened for their hard work and for what they have acquired. I listened carefully to the Mover who said that it should be done as per the laws of that country. We need to look at this and once it is ratified, it becomes part of the Kenyan law. If a member comes to this country, he is bound by the laws of this country. This country is very open. We ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: never had a letter of invitation and yet we were going to attend a conference. We need to harmonise the members’ law. This will be an added advantage. There is also the issue of mobility of data which we need to understand. As we have said, this world is just a market and we cannot live in isolation. We have to integrate, cooperate and interact with others so that we can trade. Of course, the border control will help greatly. Before the Motion was moved, we were talking about the Kenya Somali border, where we are locking ourselves. Tomorrow we ... view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to ask Question No.96 to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide details why the Ms. AEE Power Holdings, a Spanish international contractor and power developer which was contracted by Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), has not paid local Kenyan subcontractors despite the subcontractors having completed their work? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether the said AEE Power Holdings has been fully paid by the Ministry; and when is the contract ending? (iii) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that AEE Power Holdings pays ... view
