• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Report by the Committee of Finance and National Planning. The agenda of the Government is food security. Without having processes that are efficient, cost- effective and safe, the country cannot obviously deal with its food security agenda. I have to commend Grain Bulk Handlers for making that investment at the time that they did and giving Kenyans an opportunity to actually re-enforce its position in terms of handling of grain. However, there comes a time that a Government has to look at its own efficiency in terms of revenue ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I agree with Hon. (Dr.) Otiende Amollo that waiting for 2022 to consider other players in the market when we should have actually done this in 2018 would be denying the Government the kind of revenue that it needs right now. In addition, it denies Kenyans, traders and the people that actually work in this area the opportunity to have more profits. It seems like the profits are tilted towards Grain Bulk Handling and not the various players – not even the Government itself. Moreover, I feel the fact that the small timers who handle the 2 per cent that ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to pay tribute on my own behalf, my family, and the County of Nairobi to the family of the late Simeon Nyachae and the people of Kisii and, indeed, the entire country. Hon. Simeon Nyachae was not just a politician and a civil servant, but also an astute businessman. In addition, he made his mark in this country. I believe that everybody who will care to look at the history books will realise that there was a man called Simeon Nyachae who played a big role in this country. He also vied for presidency. ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Mhe. Spika, nimesimama leo kumuunga mkono mwenzangu, Hon.Owen Baya, kwa hili ombi ambalo ameleta hapa Bungeni. Mimi mwenyewe ninafahamu sana watu ambao hawana ukoo nchini. Tumekaa na watu hao kwa miaka miwili tukizungumza, wakitueleza shida ambazo wanapatana nazo. Walipoona Rais akipeana vyeti vya kukaa kwa Wanamakonde, hawa wa Kibera pia waliona kuwa wana uwezo. Saa zile Washona walikuja hapa Bunge kutuletea ombi lao, walisema kuwa Rais wa kwanza, Mhe. Jomo Kenyatta, aliwatambua na kama angekuwa amebarikiwa na maisha ya mbeleni zaidi, angekuwa ameshawatimizia ombi lao la kuonekana na kujulikana kama Wakenya. Washona wenyewe walipewa shamba karibu na Chuo kikuu cha ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: lao. Ni watu ambao wana maombi na wanakaa na ukweli na undugu na Wakenya. Hawajui nchi nyingine. Wakoloni walipokuwa hapa, walileta watu kutoka Afrika nzima. Tuko na watu kutoka Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Pemba na Tanzania. Hao watu wote waliletwa hapa kukaa na sisi na kufanya kazi kama kujenga reli. Lakini sasa wako na shida sana. Hawatambuliwi. Tukiwa na hii Huduma Namba, watakuwa na shida zaidi. Hata kama tunataka kuwatambua kama Wakenya, ni lazima pia tuwasamehe kwa sababu kuna mambo waliyofanya, ambayo si ya haki – kama kwenda kuchukua vitambulisho ama kuwaandikisha watoto wao kuwa wamezaliwa Kenya ili waweze kwenda shule au ... view

• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: COVID-19 survivor. That, in itself, will remove the stigma of people coming out and saying that they tested positive for COVID-19 and also to make people aware of the fact that you can survive COVID. At the same time, I would also like to pass my condolences from Nairobi County to the family of Hon. Justus Murunga, the Member for Matungu, who passed away from COVID-19. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we speak about NHIF, it is the vehicle that we need in place to ensure that we have UHC. UHC is one of the President’s Big Four Agenda. With ... view
