• 11 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: I was mentioned by Hon. Junet. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I just need to mention something. Hon. Junet claims to be the Secretary-General of the Azimio Coalition. Could he tell this House today where the Azimio Coalition’s office is in this country? view
• 16 Jan 2025 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Startup Bill (Senate Bill No.14 of 2022) and approved the same with amendment. view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I could not agree more with the Hon. Senior Mr. Samuel Chepkong’a. But I want us to look at it from a different angle as you deliver the ruling. That the Senate, in their thirst and hunger for fame, bonga points and to look good, have been on a smear campaign against the National Assembly. This happens almost every single day and we have kept quiet. Personally, every time this debate has come up on this Floor, I have sided with the Senate. For the last 10 to 11 years, I have always sided with the Senate ... view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: It is not just corruption. I do not believe corruption is the issue in the counties. When we went for the majimbo system, there are reasons why we decided to go to counties. In 5, 10, and 11 years, we should not be talking about the counties… The other day, I was appointed a member of a Mediation Committee. We cannot be having counties crying for money every year and yet, the Senate has not made a law to ensure that there is discipline on how those counties collect their own source revenue and use them. We must hold the ... view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: That is the position, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have said this before. That the senators are misguided in believing that the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) belongs to Members of Parliament. It belongs to wananchi . No single Member of Parliament is allowed to sign a single document or receive a single cent from the NG-CDF. God knows that. In fact, this so-called Senate Oversight Fund is illegal. Someone must go to court to strike it out. It cannot keep going on. It is a wrong thing despite the fact that we approved it. We cannot keep bribing senators to ... view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, we must stop pussy-footing on this issue of Senate. It must be dealt with once and for all. view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: As I finalise, I want to advise… view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: As I sit down, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I also want us to ask ourselves a question as the National Assembly. I am doing this with deep respect for fellow Hon. Members. That, when the Senate is discussing Shakahola and what happened here on 25th June and when it goes about discussing the exchange rate of the country, where are our chairpersons of committees? Where our committees and what are they doing? Our committee members are very busy chasing principal secretaries for tenders and deals. Our chairpersons of committees must work for this House. Bring business. The Senate is getting a ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the closure of Moi University is disheartening. There is neither urgency nor any effort that is made towards its immediate re- opening. This is a scandal. As the Ministry and the Committee concerned bring a proper statement to this House, can they tell us the root cause of that situation? If it is tribalism, let us be told so that it is sorted out. If it is ethnicity or bad management, let us be told so that it is sorted out. If we do not get to the root cause of the problem, we will not run that ... view
