• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion on waste disposal. The City of Nairobi is choking with waste and garbage, not because this is a natural problem, but because it is a man-made problem. We have seen many companies and individuals in town disposing of waste in the streets of Nairobi and in areas not designated as dumpsites.

• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you hon. Wario for donating two minutes to me, at least, to support that Motion as amended.

Most of the aspects in the Jubilee Manifesto are power oriented. view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Laptops cannot be used without power. The Government has talked about introducing a railway levy to construct an electric railway line and that cannot happen without power. Even the one million acres to be put under irrigation cannot be realized without power. view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. (Eng.) Rege has said that we should not get rid of Kenya Power. That is not my intention. My Motion is about bringing competition. We want Kenya Power to compete with other stakeholders in power distribution. Competition brings about efficiency in power distribution and good customer relationship. Sometimes when you call the customer care desk, you are told that the number is not in service. This is the case and yet this is the number Kenya Power has given out for customer service. view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Industrialization cannot be achieved in 2030 if Kenya Power still enjoys the monopoly with only 15 per cent connection penetration in this country. view
