• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: things that we need to understand. The military does its recruitment countrywide to ensure that what they are doing is transparent. Even as we say that they give the first priority to the NYS graduates, it must be done in a manner that the NYS graduates are recruited either from their districts of birth or from districts where they live, so as to ensure that the whole process is transparent. Maybe, they need to harmonise part of the syllabus for physical training so that they can ensure that whatever that trainee goes through meets some level of standards as required ... view

• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First let me say I appreciate the subcommittee that visited Bungoma County to collect views from the people who travelled for very long distances to come and give their views, specifically in identifying the projects that should be given priority. I am going through their report. I saw clearly that they had captured what they wanted and what the people of Bungoma wanted. I appreciate the subcommittee that was led by Hon. Onyonka. At the same time, I have gone through the final document by the committee that is ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, we must be serious and put the interests of Kenyans first. There is nobody else who is more superior to the people of the great County of Bungoma. There is nobody else who can speak on behalf of the great people of Bungoma County. When they said that they wanted the dualing of the road from Musikoma to Kanduyi, they were within their constitutional right to suggest what they felt should be given priority. I am very disappointed by this Committee. Even though I support 97 per cent of this Report, I am not happy about the issue of ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also rise to support the amendment and make it clear that as a Committee on Administration and National Security, we discussed this matter at length. My good friend, the Leader of the Majority Party’s statement is a bit based on a layman’s point of view. We, as security experts, looked at it in terms of preventing such kind of crime. view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I was simply saying that when we were coming up with this kind of amendment, we consulted security experts amongst ourselves. As opposed to looking at the comfort of the suspect, we should look at the bigger picture. Once you give them an opportunity to copy, it is their business. They should have a copy of what they are doing. Even in modern ICT setup, whatever you are doing is copied in some disc somewhere. This amendment is proper.

• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion. I urge the Committee on Implementation to ensure that once this Motion is approved, it must be implemented. I usually ask myself one question. Why is it that a young man found drinking chang'aa is arrested but no action is taken against an institution that fails to implement a law that has been passed and signed by the President? Failure to follow the law and failure to implement it is one and the same. We spend a lot of time thinking and researching in this House to pass Bills but ... view
• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this Petition and urge the Committee to look more deeply into why we have increased road carnage on our roads. The problem is not that drivers are careless. In developed countries, when a road accident occurs, the police investigate the root cause of the accident. They do an analysis and come up with findings which are used to improve the curriculum for training drivers. Today in this country, the curriculum used to train drivers is on traffic laws only. The syllabus is not conclusive in terms of turning one into a driver who is ... view

• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: umeletwa kwa wakati unaofaa sana kwa sababu kumekua na hali ambayo ilikua inazuia vyombo vya usalama kuhakikisha kwamba Wakenya wanaishi kwa usalama. Mswada huu ukipita, utawapa nguvu vyombo vya usalama kuwakamata majangili ambao wanatumia mitandao kuwahangaisha Wakenya ambao hawana hatia. view
