• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: If we have professionals in building survey, we will be able to regulate our settlements. For example, in Narok, our population is increasing and very soon people will start owing only two acres of land where they will construct a house, a small boma for the sheep, a small boma for the cows and a pit latrine somewhere. Then there will be no land to farm. If the whole land mass in our country is divided into small portions, we will very soon suffer from lack of enough food to feed our masses. Many people are normally settled in towns ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support this Bill. I also want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill just after Hon. Njagua Kanyi whom we know as one of the great men in the arts industry. I know when he speaks to the Copyright (Amendment) Bill it is from his heart because 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
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: in one way or another he has been affected directly. Some of us have been affected indirectly unlike him and Hon. Kiarie. For a long time as a country we have channeled our minds on natural and underground resources. We have forgotten that a lot of money nowadays is channeled towards talent development. Those who earn a lot in this world are great women and men of talent. Hon. Kiarie has mentioned Bill Gates who in 2001 was earning an approximate of Kshs.40,000 per second. If you do a bit of mathematics it means per minute you multiply that amount ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion which is very timely. I would like to tell my friend, Hon. Wamalwa, not to worry. The Jubilee Government is in place and it will make sure that this Motion is implemented. You should just relax and see how this will be done. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate Kenyans for attending the swearing in ceremony of our President yesterday. Most of the Members from the other divide were there and we were very happy. I thank them for attending that ceremony. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I rise to support this Motion but with amendments because I think we have forgotten persons with disabilities. As we create this lane we should consider persons with disabilities such as those on wheelchairs and the blind because we need braille on our streets. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I can see Hon. Wamalwa nodding. I support it with reservations that we need a service lane for persons with disabilities like those on wheelchairs. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for seeing the light. There are persons with disabilities on wheelchairs and when they are congested together with vehicles in traffic jam this creates health issues for them because they are assumed to be pedestrians. We have motorised and manual wheel chairs which really need a service lane. As I said earlier, we need braille on our streets. In Europe, persons who have visual impairment can use their feet to read the signage on the streets through braille so that they know the streets they are on. We also need to incorporate talking traffic lights, ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: people who do not see that the lights have turned red or green to enable them know the time for a pedestrian to cross. There is a very good idea I saw in one country in Europe. I think it was in Bergen City in Norway, where there is an airport lane. The airport lane has junctions for entry and not for exit. It makes sure that motorists who are going to the airport have a lot of discipline. Once you have entered the lane, you have to exit in the airport. I think we need such lanes as we ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me state from the beginning that I support this Bill. There are some issues that we have to address as a House. We sweep some of them under the carpet. This House makes the laws of this country. Some of the laws, if I can remember, touch on the issue of the two-thirds gender rule. If today I do not say that I am shocked by what happened when the names for leaders of the Minority Party were tabled, I will be misleading this House because it is a total mockery to democracy. There was ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: There are people who have been marginalised. I cannot stand here and watch as people from the Coast, the Wiper Party community, and the Maasai people, being used and dumped. It is a mockery to democracy for these people to be tabling names of people who come from one region, and from within 25-kilometre radius of each other. This House is supposed to implement the laws. One of the laws says that in any appointment of elective position, there must be regional balance and gender balance.The NASA is acoalition but the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
