• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From your directive, it seems the moratorium was illegal because it has not come through this House. Does it mean that the traders will continue trading in scrap metal and we ignore such roadside moratoriums until that time when they come to this House and the regulations have been ratified by this House? You have said that the House must be involved and you have said that the laws must be made. The Statement from Hon. Kiarie says that there is a law that exists and we have not amended or repealed it. Then the moratorium ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I ask the scrap metal dealers to continue with their scrap metal business. It was an illegal moratorium. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want your guidance. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Nominated Members do not have NG-CDF but I have referred several needy children, especially those with disabilities, to my colleagues in different constituencies and they have been assisted. Hon. Speaker, there are also contractors who need to be paid because already contracts have been drawn and they need their money. It is funny that we are committing money to Kenya Airways (KQ), which is almost a personal business considering the number of airplanes owned by one person in the KQ fleet, and this is shameful. So, I want to assure Members that on behalf ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you have rightly said, it is us who allocate monies to Government Ministries and Agencies. We have teeth to bite. We should start by biting the way we did when you said we developed some madness. We are not mad. We are just biting as a lesson to those who think they can remote-control this House from State House or some other quarters. We must bite the National Treasury and ensure that no Government business passes through this House until the NG-CDF money is in our accounts. Thank you. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. One aspect that stands out is the issue of the mental health of our police officers. I agree with the Hon. Member that if we approve the appointment of this particular member of the SRC, she will ensure that our police officers, in fact, all security officers of this country, get mental health assistance. I agree that they work and live under extremely difficult conditions. However, I disagree with the fact that wananchi give them bribes because they know that they are underpaid. Value systems are important lines and foundations ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: With those few remarks Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also inject my voice in this very important Motion. Elizabeth Wangui Muchiri is an extremely qualified and beautiful lady. I am pleased to hear her response especially on the issue of addressing the mental health of the police officers. If she manages to get this job, she must go there and make sure that the issue of mental health is addressed from a multisectoral approach. The remuneration of our police officers is pathetic. Where they live in is even worse. You can imagine three families of ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I heard something to do with affordable housing. We should start with housing police officers. They are paid peanuts. You can imagine somebody you have paid peanuts... We keep saying that we lose Kshs2billion a day to corruption yet we send the same officers to go and collect the proceeds of corruption. What will happen? They will be bribed. They are being bribed because the Government has refused to pay them well. We have concentrated so much on junior police officers. The fish starts rotting from the head. We also need to know the mental status of the senior people ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: He is my leader and I respect him. Let him inform me in 30 seconds. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Let me thank my leader Hon. Wangwe for that information. I really pray that it will come to pass. If it does, Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe, you will be blessed by God who created PWD in his own image and likeness. The qualification of Elizabeth notwithstanding, whether she is the most qualified or not is not my concern. Whether she worked on top of cars or under the trees or at the Presidential Delivery Unit is not my concern. My concern is the issue of PWD also being given their rightful position as demanded by ... view
