• 23 Apr 2013 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Let me start off by congratulating you for being elected as the Speaker because this is the first time that I am having the Floor. I would like also to congratulate my colleagues for being elected to represent certain counties of this Republic and those who were nominated. I also want to thank the people of Kitui County for doing me the honour of being their Senator. As Sen. Murungi has pledged to serve the people of Meru, I also want to say that ... view
• 23 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a role that the Senate has been given by this Constitution. I chose to talk about devolution because the recent events have not augured well to give us comfort that devolution is getting support of even the previous Government, and we are yet to see how the current Government will behave towards devolution knowing very well that this is not the first time Kenya has gone the devolution way. We had devolution of the regional assemblies; we had a Senate, but because we did not have the goodwill of the Government, it died miserably. It ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in wishing everyone, including you, a very happy New Year. I fully support the proposed amendment. In doing so, I want to congratulate my brother, hon. Mututho, who will go into the history of this country as one man who has taken it upon himself to ensure that this country observes regulations on alcohol. He wants to ensure that this country will not lose another generation as it has already lost a generation through alcoholism. I hope that the people of Nakuru County will do the needful and elect ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, naturally, you do not expect me to oppose this Bill. Therefore, I support it very strongly. I want to remind hon. Members that when we were campaigning for the new Constitution, we went round the country and the members of the public unanimously said that they wanted chiefs to continue in service. At the committee of this House in Naivasha, we made it clear that the service called Provincial Administration would be retained. Therefore, this Bill intends just to do what the Constitution said. We require the Provincial Administration for the security of this country ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure you are satisfied that, that was not a point of order. In any case, I was one of the cleanest PC who ever served this country. The records will bear me witness. I wanted on a very serious note to caution on the service delivery co-ordination units. The creation of these units must be based on some formula. We want to ensure that if locations and districts are created, they are based on some formula like population. At the moment, the units have been created in a manner that cannot be fair. ... view

• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying it is only two years ago when I struggled in this House to get the Pensions (Amendment) Act passed and also struggled to ask that pensioners of this country – the public servants be given an increase of their pensions because of inflation. You have heard the Minister for Finance come here and say that the purpose of this Bill is to take care of the president’s pension because of inflation. In this country we have public servants who retired after serving this country for many years and today they earn Kshs500 ... view
