• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: You need to unite the forces that are fighting. We hope you can use that position to ensure that the country is united. On a more serious note, I wanted to raise an issue of national importance. There is a Question I raised on the Floor of the House in early June last year. Yesterday, I was listening to the news and I heard the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Interior and Coordination of National Government, who spoke in lingua in Kisii. I got a translation that he said that they will push for some reforms in this country and ... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: 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
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: House and all organs of Government can never act in vain. When this House pronounces itself on a matter, it is like a High Court; it must be respected. When the Judiciary acts, it cannot do so in vain. The issue I raised in early June last year was about six particular judgements that had been issued by the courts but had not been respected. To date, no answer has been brought to the Floor of the Assembly by the Committee concerned. I was sent a copy of the answer. I was not even asked to go to the Committee ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to lend my voice to support this very important Bill, especially coming at a time when we are more than 10 years after the Constitution came into being. When I was growing up, we used to look forward to 18th of every month because the Kenya Film Service would bring films to the district headquarters of the country. Many people did not have television sets that time and we did not have one. This used to be a one-time experience if you could make it. You would find dirty ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The last time they updated the library in terms of structures was in 1987. So, this Bill, in so far as it will invigorate and rejuvenate the working of the library service in this country, is welcome. This is one area that is under-funded and under-resourced. We hope that by passing this Bill - because after passing it we will be having a new budget being done in the coming month - this Parliament can vote enough resources for that service. We talk about many things like roads, airports and railways but the one most important social infrastructure in any ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: would help this system, but have no degrees. You are now locking them out because you are saying that the board members must have university degrees. Therefore, I will move an amendment to remove the university degree requirement for board members so that we get board members from elsewhere, and not necessarily those who have degrees. A healthy nation is a nation that reads. It is a nation that writes. It is a nation that does research. I do not know whether you have checked but, for the last years I have been in this House, I have observed that ... view
