• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. Thank you. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also commend the good work done by this Committee and also ask other committees that are involved in auditing money given to the public, to borrow a leaf from them, specifically the Senate, which has a bigger mandate of ensuring that money sent to the county governments is spent wisely. If I had powers, I would say all Senators should be attached to this Committee for a period of not less than six months. This is because we have seen a lot of money getting lost in the ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: lot of money which could be used to transform the lives of the Kenyan people by improving healthcare, a completely devolved function.

It is very important to note that we have some primary schools whose total number of pupils in that school surpasses the teacher-pupil ratio. It is important that the Ministry has a policy that will ensure that the facilities are going to be expanded, vis-a-vis the number of students and pupils that are being admitted to the schools. I have seen the Ministry allocating some schools Kshs50 million from infrastructural funds without rationale, that allocation of ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. We are fully aware that these people suffer and they take time to recover. So, setting up these trauma centres will assist them recover, collect themselves and move forward. It is also very important, while supporting this Motion, to note that we really need to be serious in terms of implementing whatever this House approves. That is the only way we can give Kenyans value and appreciate ourselves. Coming up with such a Motion and debating it requires a lot of thinking and research. ... view
