• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: weight of the sacks that are packed with cereals has been reduced from 90 to 50 kilogrammes. As explained by the Mover, most of the people who carry 90-kilogramme bags do not live for long. They have backache and other problems. Most of them die at a very early age. To some people, that is the only thing they can do. This is done worldwide. Even Pakistan uses 50-kilogramme bags. Let us understand that. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. After waiting for about five hours, I have finally got an opportunity and I want to thank you for it. First and foremost, I want to thank Hon. Chris Wamalwa. He had pressure from his constituents and Kenyans because of the long wait. The import of this Motion is to decongest the National Registration Bureau where for years, IDs take a long time to be released to candidates. This Motion will go a long way to decentralise registration to the county, so that we can decongest the National Registration Bureau. As ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: take them to the clerks to print photographs of the applicants. I call them candidates because they are the ones waiting. Most of the time after the applications, they have to bring forms all the way to Nairobi. In most cases, I have been requested to facilitate their movement to Nairobi. This, in itself, leads to inefficiency. Sometimes, there is corruption. People wait for four, five or sometimes eight months to get IDs. By decentralising this process, we will also create jobs in the counties. Instead of having them in Nairobi, various counties will have clerks working in this office. ... view

Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that voter registration is a crucial exercise in the electioneering process, further aware that for one to register as a voter he requires a National Identification Card; and concerned that thousands of youth do not have identity cards due to the long and tedious process involved in the processing of those cards and further compounded by the centralisation of the process; noting that once a person applies for identification card it is issued with serialised waiting card; further aware that the serial number on the waiting card ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second the Report ably presented by our able Chairman. He has made a number of observations which, in my view, are accurate. That is what we have discussed in the Committee. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: First and foremost, this Report is long overdue. All the over the world, people are very anxious, particularly in Western Kenya, where the sugar industry has been in a crisis for quite some time. As ably presented by the Chairman, our observations include the fact that this country has been importing a lot of sugar, which is not supposed to be on the table in Kenyan households. Some of it is industrial sugar, which is repacked, brought in and competes with table sugar. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, apart from this sugar competing with the local sugar, we have established that the Kenya Government has been losing a lot of revenue in terms of taxation. Some of the importers are unscrupulous who evade taxation. We have also observed that the wrangling in Western Kenya is as a result of the KSB licensing factories within certain zones. It has been found that the KSB has been issuing licences to millers who are very close to each other, either out of greed or out of reasons best known to them. We shall discuss this matter in detail. That is ... view
