• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: particularly in the criterion for classifying and principles of governance and management of cities and towns, and the participation by the residents. This Bill has come at the right time, when we are moving towards a knowledge-based economy. If we look back in time, at Independence, had we been given the opportunity, Nairobi would not be what it is today. At the heart of the Bill is spatial planning. Without it, it will be difficult to control the upcoming towns, markets, urban centres and mushrooming of low dwellings as they expand as we experience in our country. With spatial planning, ... view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Although they have changed from Kshs 5000 to Kshs 200,000, this is a profession where people make a lot of money from us. For it to be really punitive, we need to put at Kshs 1,000,000. view

• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report by this Committee. Those of us who were in the 11th Parliament did not engage with such a report. It was only during kamkunjis that we would raise our voices and talk seriously about issues of concern. Mine is to suggest areas the Committee can undertake studies on in order to make our welfare and that of the staff of Parliament more comfortable. In the span of the remaining part of the 12th Parliament, the Committee should consider developing a handbook, so that when new parliamentarians ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On the issue of telephone and IT equipment in Parliament, for most of us who occupy office spaces in Continental House, there are times when there is no internet and maybe you want to do something that day and you have taken your time to work in the office. We need to pay particular attention to the internet. On the developments we are seeing inside the Chamber, it is a move in the right direction. As I sit here, I am able to do some research on the internet to contribute to any debate. So, Members must appreciate the moves ... view
• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Report. I thank the head of the delegation for having provided leadership during our visit. What comes to mind, looking at this Report and Kenya’s participation in the ACP Assembly, is a quote which says, ‘You are confined only by the walls you build yourself’. As we go out there to represent our country, we get a lot of experiences. We also showcase what Kenya has to offer at the national, regional and international level. This ACP Assembly provides a unique forum for Kenya, as a major ... view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: and the other side, the ACP, are mainly developing or at least developed countries. There is that exchange between raw materials and machinery and finished products from the other side. So, one of the areas of concern that, we, as Kenyans, take cognisance of, are issues such as trade barriers and market entry of Kenyan goods. The area of post-Cotonou is where our technocrats particularly in Brussels and in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are grappling with. They are burning the midnight oil to ensure that we are not left behind. view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The other area of concern that the Chairman and the leader of the delegation has alluded to, is the issue of clean energy and environmental protection. The EU has put on the table about 30.5 billion Euros between the years 2014 and 2020. This is the piece of cake that countries that are innovative, and are in a position to come up with smart ideas particularly in terms of protection of the environment and generating clean energy, are able to bite from by providing their options or by putting forward their proposals on how Kenya can benefit from this.
