• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking and congratulating the Member for Mvita, Hon. Nassir Sherriff, for bringing this particular Motion and for fighting for the interests of the people whom we represent from the Coast region. Hon. Nassir is surely an oasis of wisdom from the coast region and is a very friendly person to persons with disability and that is why I must support this particular Motion. The SGR must be competitive enough to attract business without being coercive. We cannot coerce our businesspersons or force them to use the SGR for ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: remote area called Murtoto with one shop and butchery. This was only about 12 kilometers to Narok Town. If it could have gone to Narok town, we would not be forcing people to transport using the SGR. Instead, we could have created a catchment area for the Great Lake Regions, for the South Rift and even part of Northern Tanzania and Rwanda. We would be transporting our building stones and building sand from Narok all the way to Nairobi without being coerced. We would be transporting wheat, barley, peas, potatoes, and maize from Rift Valley and from the South Rift ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Committee on Delegated Legislation has annulled this particular amendment. The reason for annulment as I hear is only because of public participation. I rise to oppose the annulment in entirety. This is because… view

• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are not sitting in a court. We are in an honourable House. We also have to look at our background. You said very well that I am going through the longer route. Unemployment in this country is very high. Every opportunity given to get employment for our youth, have an economic recovery strategy post COVID-19 and to jumpstart our economy should be supported by his House. However, we need at times to also point out the loopholes and be corrected on time rather than taking our country back and starting afresh. This is what scares ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: away investors. Maybe, in these special economic zones, there were many investors who were interested and had their money ready to invest. We cannot be a stumbling block to jumpstart our economy so that our youth can get employment. Investors who have ready money have other alternatives. There was a factory that was supposed to be set up in Narok County, however, because of this red tape from the County Assembly of Narok, it was taken to Tanzania who are equally pastoralists. In fact, they took to the higher side of the border from Narok to our fellow Maasais on ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Motion. Let me start by thanking Hon. Kiai for, first of all, coming out as a COVID-19 survivor. It will go a long way to reduce stigma in our society. Our colleagues have talked of our priorities being wrong. The Departmental Committee on Health led by Hon. Sabina Chege will tomorrow meet with the NHIF management. We want the Committee members to ask them how much extra money they need so that we can channel all our energies and funds towards saving ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: says we cannot play those politics and that we can use the Kshs14 billion and look for other money. It is time for us to forget everything else, including the big projects and, first of all, save Kenyan lives. Where will we be when we are dead? Where will we be when our citizens are dying in numbers? We have to be frank for once. We feel safe because we have insurance covers.

• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: You have heard Hon. Kiai say he was saved by the Parliamentary Service Commission medical cover. What about those who elected us? We have to save them too. Lastly, as a House, we have to put aside everything and look for funds whether they are from other ministries, road projects or whichever activities and channel them to health services for our citizens. It is a shame that the Cabinet Secretary who is comprehensively covered... view
