• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for purpose of election, this is okay. However, as the other Member has said, a small opening should be left because Narok, for instance, borders Nakuru. I know places in Nakuru which may soon forget about maize farming and get into sugar-cane farming. I know counties like Meru may have some areas that can support sugar-cane farming. So, let us leave a small opening for such areas. Thank you. view

• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Nominated, JP): Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We cannot have headquarters in Kisumu. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, the Motion for Agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House be amended by inserting the words “subject to recommital of Clause 9A.” I also request Hon. Benjamin Washiali, the former Minority Whip, to second the Motion. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We do not have enough quorum in the House. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I arise to support the earlier Petition that you read on behalf of the Petitioners. People are suffering from autoimmune diseases because of the high cost of treatment and diagnosis of autoimmune diseases like the Hashimoto and Graves’ disease. In the general population, their percentage is quite low. Covering it through the NHIF will not cost us a lot of money. This House should rise to the occasion and make sure that all Kenyans suffering from autoimmune diseases are covered through the NHIF. Thank you. I support the Petition. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I come to the House before you and leave after you. Therefore, I have learnt a lot during these four years that I have been here. Hon. Speaker, first of all, as to whether you have the power to overrule a decision that has been made by this House, I have gone through the Standing Orders, and I have not seen where it is expressed. The Petition was amended by the House not by Hon. Rasso. Hon. Rasso only proposed an amendment in this House. Through a Question that had been put, the House ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. For those of us in the pastoralist regions, not only in the North, but even in the South in Kajiado and Narok, our animals and people are dying. The Government is not willing to address that issue once and for all. For a long time, we have been considered as an appendix without function and non-existent in this country and yet, we sit on 80 per cent of the landmass of this country. We sit on natural resources like wind power and oil in Turkana, geothermal electric ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: When you see some of us passionately fighting for the leadership of the hustlers, it is because those leaders know what it means to go hungry. If you tell some of our leaders who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths that you have not eaten food, they will most likely check your temperature to see if you have malaria, typhoid or lack of appetite! They do not know what it means to sleep on an empty stomach! Your parents could have done everything possible, but failed to get you anything to eat. Our animals are not only ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to comment on the Petition you have read on behalf of the petitioner concerning the National Prayer Breakfast. This country needs prayers. I support the Petitioner. The Petitioner enumerated some instances that we have faced as a country. Some are disastrous like the drought, the locust invasion, terrorism, COVID-19 and, of course, the economic meltdown as has been enumerated. We really need this national prayer breakfast. We are a country that believes in God and no other thing. I heard people say that mganga is also a doctor, which is not true. ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When it comes to mattes of security, they are very important. Any act of insecurity in any part of this country is insecurity to the whole nation. This nation is bound by the unity that we have as a people. This matter is very important. That is why we need to canvass, discuss and debate it. On the issue of putting the Question, especially coming from the Vice-Chair of the Committee responsible, is a bit suspect. First of all, this Report has stayed in this House for more than one- and-half years. ... view
