• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: and the fare is Kshs20 and then it starts raining, you will be charged Kshs40. If there is a lot of traffic congestion, you will be charged more. So, it becomes very difficult for the woman because in the end, she is told to alight from the matatu . I have heard lot of complaints about this in Nairobi City. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: There is also another problem. If you give the conductor more money than the exact fare, for example Kshs100 and your fare is Kshs60, you are denied your change. By the time you reach your stop, you get off and you are robbed by the matatu personnel. The Government has allowed the matatu industry to regulate itself. They have formed many organisations and associations. They have tried but they fail Kenyans when they do not regulate fares. One should know exactly what it costs when you board and when you alight. It should be the same for all view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: all over the country. view

• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Having said that, I second the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to contribute to the Report on the status of disbursement of funds to the NG-CDF presented by Hon. Maoka Maore. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: It is a bit disturbing to hear about the money that has not been disbursed to the board for onward disbursement to the various constituencies. We occasionally hear Government saying that money is returned unspent. It is a shame that the unspent money that is returned, probably, is that which has not been disbursed in a financial year.
