• 31 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: funds from the schools feeding program. This concerns me because it is about children. Children need to be nourished; they must be healthy and developed in order for them to learn. Then I saw online a recurrent expenditure of Kshs500 million under the National Land Commission (NLC). I even brought an amendment to the effect that this amount be removed and taken to the schools feeding program. It was on this premise and under the access to information because food is a basic human right. What was this recurrent expenditure which has now been reduced from Kshs500 million to Kshs250 ... view
• 30 Mar 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Petition by Hon. Lentoimaga. It is high time this House accepted that cattle rustling is a capital offence sanitised culturally. In it, there is murder, robbery, rape and deportation of masses. The moment it is treated as such in the penal code, we can tackle it head on. We should also offer solutions as a House. Nairobi is secure because our offices are in Nairobi. I propose that Parliament be relocated to Baragoi, State House to Boni Forest and the Interior Ministry headquarters to Mandera. By doing that, we ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Report of the Committee led by the Professor. They have done a good job. A Professor is always a Professor and they never retire. If they retire, they do not tire, if they tire, they do not die; if they die, they do not rot, and if they rot, they do not smell and if they do smell, they smell like roses. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The Committee has done an excellent job and I support them very much. However, I support all this on condition that, as we go to the Supplementary Budget process, we shall get to know our debt as a country. We also need to know if we are ready to pay our debts without The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: necessarily increasing our taxes or affecting the people at the bottom of the pyramid. I will support but Professor, as you go, use your intellect because you are the most intelligent Member of this House. You must ensure that you have presented the issue of debt. It is a cancer that is now ailing our economy. So, we should concentrate on that and make sure that we are aware, and Kenyans are aware, of what they owe the Chinese and how these loans are taken from the Chinese. It should not be that the Chinese gives us loans from their ... view

• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can confirm that you are always extremely beautiful whether in green, yellow or blue. Hon. Rono has just confirmed what all Members have been saying. I want to ask Hon. Millie Odhiambo not to be jealous because all of us are created differently. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, exactly, Hon. Speaker. You know I come here before you and I leave after you because I have to earn from my sweat after working here. Hon. Speaker, you have taught me a lot as our leader and you are a presidential candidate. That is why we really support you. I support the petitioner because our universities have really deteriorated in terms of education. It was just the other day when many degrees were declared null and void and that they are not marketable. This, even after students have used their time and resources in studying. What the petitioner ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me congratulate Hon. Sossion for representing teachers very well in this House. Hon. Sossion, congratulation because you have teachers in your heart. Teaching is a very noble course. It is the only course that is mentioned in the Bible. Even Jesus Christ was a teacher. That is why he was teaching in parables and in synagogues. Teachers are in charge of development of our children’s mental faculties. We have our children at home only for three months. They stay in school for nine months, meaning teachers are ... view
