• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: It is encouraging to note that the Policy will be guided by principles of transparency, accountability, predictability and inclusiveness. However, it will be important for the National Treasury, as the lead agency, to exercise due diligence in the utilisation of climate finance funds. We have had instances of abuse of global funds which end up not helping the poor citizens. The public officials who will be bestowed with the responsibility of managing these funds should therefore ensure that the funds are utilised in accordance with the set out policy. With those remarks, I strongly support this Paper. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the adjournment of this House. Indeed, this will give me time to be with people in my county. As you know, there have been a lot of uncertainties down there and I need to be with them to reassure them that Kenya is safe and it is moving forward. I will also have time to set up my office. Indeed, for the last two months, I have not been able to do anything because of Baba and demonstrations. I am glad that by the time I come back, ... view

• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion for the approval of ratification of the protocol to operationalise the extended jurisdiction of the East African Court of Justice. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The requirement and responsibility of ratification of international treaties, protocols and agreements is squarely bestowed on this august House by Article 2 of the Constitution, as read together with Section 8 of the Treaty Making Ratification Act of 2012. Having said that, the Protocol before us is one that seeks to, among other things, streamline and harmonise the general operations of the East African Community (EAC). The protocol acknowledges the current functions of the East African Court of Justice and limitations of its jurisdiction after the adoption of the EAC protocols, common markets, custom unions and monetary unions. Therefore, there ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The ratification of this Protocol will, therefore, prevent, contain and peacefully resolve conflicts and disputes arising from trade and investment matters. Furthermore, it will also encourage the implementation of the EAC protocols on common markets, customs union and monetary union. These are the integral agreements within the EAC which will enrich regional integration among member states. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, I wish to call upon the respective State departments in the relevant ministries to fast-track the implementation of this Protocol as soon as the House approves its ratification. This being a budget-making House, I believe we will be ready to provide the necessary funds to operationalise programmes arising from the Protocol. Indeed, most of the key partner states in the common community including Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda have already ratified the Protocol or are in the final stages of ratification. I, therefore, call upon the House to support the ratification of this Protocol. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion on the proposed calendar of the House for the First Session. We have been given time to be with our families and rejuvenate after elections. I pray that we shall talk to our people and make them understand that Kenyans are God-fearing people. I have seen both men and women demonstrating naked. I pray that Members from the other divide will talk to their followers to respect God in whatever they do. Whether we picket or demonstrate, we should do so with respect. We must give God honour and glory ... view
