The only thing that needs to be done is implementation and being proactive in issues of the environment. We cannot generate electricity through hydroelectric power, wind or coal if we do not take our environment seriously. Most of our rivers are dry simply because we do not plant trees. We could also come up with policies whereby it becomes mandatory for towns ... view

True, there is a problem in Nairobi concerning transport, which if not well managed, will bring an economical setback. We cannot decongest Nairobi without mentioning Kiambu, Kajiado and Machakos. The only county which brought suspicion is Murang’a. From my knowledge, Murang’a is almost 70 kilometres away from Nairobi. Nakuru is 150 kilometres away. The Bill is good because without a good transport system, even if you have a sick person, there is no ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute on the same. Actually, game rangers are very notorious, including to my constituents. They invade and harass even the villagers. This should stop. Hon. Members, we have a lot of dignity. There is something which surprised me in my constituency. A former Member of Parliament is operating a terror gang called TiachaHomeboys. I am not very happy with him. Last week when I was with my party leader, he came with youths. I wish the Inspector-General of Police could look into that because leadership cannot be taken by force. I ... view

Even the road designs that are currently being implemented were engineered during the time of that regime. Kwa hivyo, hongera kwako . The other thing is on contractors. The Chinese contractors are doing a very good job, and we appreciate. However, in Kasipul, there is one contractor who is doing a project under the African Development Bank (ADB). We need the Chairman to visit that area to ascertain the type of work being done. Even when it ... view

• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Just like it happened last week, we have not met all the stakeholders who are important when it comes to this Bill. Officers from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) appeared before us, but unfortunately, the Commissioner-General did not come. The two Commissioners who were sent to appear before us did not have a clue on the Bill that is before the House. So, we sent them back to ask the Commissioner-General to appear before us in person next week on Tuesday, together with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury. view
