• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: If the same list is being brought again, it means the consultation did not bear any fruit and it was supposed to arm-twist some outcome. As much as I support this list, it is not good for this House to be used by people outside this Parliament to arm-twist the outcome of this deliberation. I know this list was withdrawn from this House to make sure that the Government is arm-twisted to agree with the negotiation and form the seven persons Committee. I am not a supporter of sycophancy. As much as I support the Jubilee Government to the best ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: If we have to contribute in nation building both from Jubilee and CORD, we must act in a way that is going to make this country move forward. We are not going to continue acting in a way which is going to entrench certain individuals to certain positions.

• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: to give a negotiation edge to CORD because this country was almost put to war because of uninformed activism which had put people in the streets. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I support the list, but I want to call upon the leadership of political parties outside Parliament not to interfere to a very large extent with the nominations in this House. I rest my case and support the list. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support this Bill. In my opinion, it is long overdue yet it has very important content that will revolutionalise construction, maintenance and management of road infrastructure in this country in the future. One of the attributes I am happy about is the assertion that all parts of this nation must be connected to a national trunk road. This is important because what happened after the 2013 elections and with the introduction of county governments is the emergence of some grey areas on what is national or county. In some areas, ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: government is a favour. It is their road to have those roads and the roads should be well maintenance. Some of the roads under the county governments are the most important feeder roads necessary for peasant farmers to get their crops to the market. I beseech the county governments to take this seriously and maintain our roads. They should stop passing the blame. It is only last week when there was a demonstration about the famous Kutus-Kirinyaga Road through Kithure Road. Some people were agitating that it has taken too long for that road to be tarmacked. This is despite ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: For payment to be made on any road, first of all, it must be certified that the contractor has achieved the set standards. If standards are not achieved, the road becomes even more expensive. It is going to be an issue of regular maintenance and corruption year in, year out.

• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Roads are not partisan issues. They are bipartisan issues. They affect all of us from Jubilee, CORD or other parties and we should be in agreement in terms of roads. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The membership of the Authorities that are being created must reflect the fact of Kenya. We should have representation from all parts of this country. We cannot afford to trivialise issues as important as roads. They are key ingredients of rural and national development. It is important to include everybody when recruiting officers to these bodies. I can see my time is up. I want to support this Bill and ask that gender and people with disability be considered when this is being effected. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am using Hon. Charles Njagagua’s card because I forgot mine at home. view
