• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: What we saw in KTN’s JichoPevu, that is, an inside story about a metal factory in Mombasa was very disheartening. It is very sad that the people of Owino Uhuru Slums in Mombasa are living-dead. They are dying one after the other because of the effects of chemicals emanating from that factory. As we speak, there is now blame game between the Ministry of Public Health and NEMA. We know that whenever a factory is set up, there is NEMA Report and authority which is given before the factories are given licence to operate. We were shown women who are ... view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the proposal by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. However, we also need to be very careful with the so-called “professional services.” They have to be defined very clearly. Otherwise, it will create a loophole of corruption, where we see some people using those specialised services to just squander Government money in the name of professional services. It has to come out very clearly what “professional services” are. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I stand to oppose the amendment. This is an audit office.

Why outsource such services when you need to have your own independent officers? Thank you. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Regarding insecurity, yesterday, I talked about the Baringo, Turkana and the Kerio Valley region. As much as I applaud the President for directing that the 10,000 new police recruits report to the training colleges due to a shortage of officers, there is also need for the National Police Service to be given their own budgetary allocation. If it were not for helicopters availed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), deployment of personnel would not have been possible. That is because the NPS helicopters are grounded. The NPS does not have a Vote of its ... view
