• 3 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to air my views in regard to this legislative proposal to amend the Constitution to entrench NG-CDF in the Constitution. The issue before us is an issue of great importance, and I must state that the architect of the NG-CDF served in the Constituency that I represent today. Therefore, this is one issue that is dear to me. It is our noble responsibility, as Members of Parliament, to perfect and uphold principles and Acts which impact our people positively. As a third term Member, I must state that out of ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, I would like to start by thanking the Almighty God for having brought us this far. Hon. Speaker, on the same note, I would like to thank you for the very able way in which you have steered the 12th Parliament. This is my second term, and even in the 11th Parliament, we witnessed the same deeds and style of leadership to the fullest. You have heard the positive comments from the Hon. Members and I believe they are not just for the sake. That is the person you are. You are a ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: issues. However, all said and done, I think in the short period I have served them, namely, the first and the second terms, I have impacted positively in quite a number of areas especially in school infrastructure and other development issues. I have also had opportunity to serve in the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and as an architect, I know my experience and knowledge has impacted positively in terms of contribution in that particular Committee for the good of this great nation. As we part ways, the only thing I would ask Members is that as ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to air my views. First and foremost, I would like to state how disappointed I was with the former proposals at one point in time as a Member of this Committee. I am an architect by profession. Some of the issues which were being pushed forward were very disappointing. However, I thank our Chairperson and the Committee – so, I should also be thanking myself – for listening to the views from various stakeholders. Having navigated through all the views which were given, what is in front of us ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I am more than happy that the Bill has limited the qualifications for the position of Director- General. It can only be occupied by someone with a minimum qualification of a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering. As far as I am concerned, that has sorted out a major problem. Short of this, we would have started messing up with this sector. The Committee has done a great job. Even the hundreds of petitions which were put forward have done a lot. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think the Member is out of order. He is referring to the Kenya Roads Board Bill. We are not talking about the Kenya Roads Board Bill. He has repeated that. He better be on the same line with the rest of Members. Thank you. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to ventilate on this issue. I must say that I have looked at this Bill very keenly The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: and submit holistically that it has very good intentions and points. I have also identified some grey areas which require streamlining. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: The Bill seeks to consolidate all the laws on residential and commercial tenancies, ensure regulation of this sector in Kenya and, more so, introduce a legal framework which balances the interests of the landlords and tenants aimed at promoting the sustainable growth of the rental sector in Kenya. There are some issues I identified as I went through this Bill which require to be looked into. Just as the Member who has spoken before me has mentioned, there are some areas which need to be relooked into. As we talk, I am in the process of coming up with amendments ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Just to mention a few, one area I found to be a little bit confusing and contradicting is the issue of termination of tenancy without reference to the tribunal. Clause (25)(1) (a) states: “(1) A landlord shall be entitled to terminate a tenancy without reference to the Tribunal upon the following grounds that – (a) the landlord has given prior notice of not less than 24 months in the case of business premises, and not less than 12 months in the case of residential premises.” I stand to be corrected, because I know that most residential leases as they stand ... view
