• 9 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also send my sincere condolences on my own behalf and that of the 6.5 million people living with disabilities who I represent in this House, to his family and the great people of Abagusii for losing such a great hero. Hon. Nyachae was a resident of Narok, a neighbour to most of us and a great wheat farmer. He loved the environment and we learnt a lot as a community from him. He was genuine and friendly to all the people who interacted with him in Narok. His ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to pay tribute to the late Hon. Simeon Nyachae. His stunning career in the Civil Service and as a politician takes us back to a time of a disciplined society, especially against the backdrop of what we have witnessed in the last year, that is, consequences of the Coronavirus pandemic and the increased societal pressure manifesting in gruesome murders and gender-based violence. It reminds us that strong families, like that of Hon. Simeon Nyachae, are the units and the bedrock of sound societies. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Over and above that, he was an accomplished career public servant. Hon. Nyachae was a patriarch and an anchor to his family. May he rest in eternal peace. My sincere condolences to his entire family and to us the nation of Kenya. view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also thank you. With you being represented by Hon. Wangwe, our Majority Whip, the function was very well attended by Members of this House. We just want to reassure the family that we are with them. I also want to specifically thank His Excellency Hon. (Dr.) William Samoei arap Ruto who had to attend both funerals. Even though they were more than 700 kilometres apart, he made sure that he mourned with the Members of this House. On that day, he was very busy, and he also flew all the ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I come from Rift Valley where the only “cash crop” we have is sports. Therefore, this one is very important for our region. Hon. Mbadi does not have to tell me not to contribute. This is because when we bring issues of Lake Victoria and fish, I will not deny him the chance to contribute. However, I would like us, as we move forward, to make sure that our youths get an opportunity to participate in the only “cash crop” that they have. Hon. Speaker, we have to give the youth ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is no goal that is disabled. Hon. Wamalwa, how can I summarise? There is no goal that is disabled and so let us appreciate all our sportsmen and sportswomen. I thank you Hon. Speaker. view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill that was moved by Hon. Gladys Wanga, who is a Member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party. Nowadays, with the masks, it is very difficult to recognise faces. Those masks have taught us that sura is not actually the eyes and forehead. It is the mouth and the nose. Now that we are covering both of them like private parts, it is very difficult to recognise other people. On this Bill, I rise to say that it is not the ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I oppose the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill until the Government accounts for the COVID-19 funds - that is the World Bank money and all the donations and loans we borrowed during this pandemic. I also oppose it until the Government gets the crooks of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) heist. I oppose it until the Government gets “COVID-19 billionaires.” I oppose it until the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) brings to book the “Afya House” mafia. I oppose it until the DCI gets back the Jack Ma’s donations and apprehend all the culprits. I will ... view

• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the Petition raised by Hon. K’Oyoo. I also raised a Question on Kibos Sugar Factory and Allied Industries. My issue was Kibos School for the Blind which is inside the factory, but formed 70 years before the factory moved there. However, the factory now wants to relocate the school. Workers have been molesting children and sending their effluence to the school compound. So, I would like that Question to be tied to the Petition because my Question has not yet been answered. Lastly, when you hear Hon. Mandago crying, ... view
