• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is not pronounced like that. It is pronounced like the way I do. We are affected and we are very passionate. When you hear some of us even speak in Kimaasai, sometimes, it is because of how much we have been affected by those wild animals.

• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: It is this House that is to make sure that there is a budget because when animals are in distress, I do not know where KWS officers appear from. But they just come immediately. However, when human beings are crying for help, they do not come. When they come and find women fetching firewood from game reserve, they beat them just like Hon. (Dr.) Pukose has said. They are harassed. So, we are harassed when we are in the game reserve but, when the animals which are supposed to be in the game reserve come to our homes and eat ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity also to congratulate the Member for Kamukunji for bringing such a very important Petition. Professor Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize. She won that Nobel Peace Prize through tears mixed with blood. I remember when I was at the University of Nairobi, she singlehandedly rescued and saved Karura Forest. We were students at the University of Nairobi by then. We were with her. Some of our students were even killed when we were saving Karura Forest. She was the first Kenyan woman ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the status of investigations into the disappearance of one Dennis Kinoti of ID No.23700320, a resident of Meru Town who went missing on 14th February 2021 and a report of missing person made at Meru Police Station vide Occurrence Book (OB) No.OB98/15/02/2021? (ii) How many suspects have been apprehended or questioned in connection with the disappearance? (iii) What specific measures has the Government put in place to protect Kenyans from the spate of ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me first begin by thanking Hon. Mwathi, the Chair of the Security Committee, for bringing the response on this important matter. And let me declare my interest. I am a Member of Parliament from Embu County The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: and, therefore, this matter concerns me a lot. Let me also thank Hon. King’ang’i, who has really taken this matter seriously from the word go, and for having brought it before this House. The right to property is enshrined in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. We know that in this country, property does not necessarily have a titled deed to it, especially when it comes to land. There are people who have lived on pieces of land for many years, but may not have a title deed because the Government has not accorded them that important document. Hon. ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Kolosh could have just cut me out in such a very important report that I need to inject my voice. I support not because I support in principle but because this Fund has delayed in implementation. We want to kick it up so that we can start. However, in this Report, we have increased from 14 counties to 34 counties that will benefit from the Equalisation Fund. This beats all human understanding because I do not see the difference between the Equalisation Fund and the devolution funds. The devolution funds benefit ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, marginalisation is totally different from poverty levels. We have used the issue of poverty levels to increase the number of counties that were benefitting from the Equalisation Fund. However, marginalisation does not mean poverty. Marginalisation means that because of continuous deprivation of infrastructure to an extent that a school is 40 kilometres away, that is when we really need the Equalisation Fund to bring those counties up to speed with other parts of the region. In 1965, there was Sessional Paper No. 10 that is the cause of all this marginalisation… view

• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was comparing the money that we send to the counties and the money that we have in the National Government Affirmative Action Fund and NG-CDF. It covers the 47 counties. The Equalisation Fund was supposed to cover only 14 counties but now, it is covering 34 counties. We do not know where they will release the money to. It is now almost covering the whole country. Before I was rudely interrupted by my leader, Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe, I was saying that there is a difference between poverty and equalisation. We are now using ... view
