• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I also want to thank Hon. Osoro for coming up with this Motion. We should support it. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: First, we have a serious problem in this country. Hon. Osoro said that 3,000 people die every year. I can attribute that to careless driving on our roads. I can state in this House that 90 per cent of accidents on our roads are as a result of careless driving. The signs on the roads are not meaningful any more. The last Parliament, in which I had the privilege to serve, suggested and passed a Motion that said that we should have a lane dedicated specifically for emergency cases. We should fast- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: track that. If you go to other jurisdictions, you will find that there is a lane designated specifically for emergency cases. That is a no-go lane where we have ambulances, police cars or people rushing because of emergencies. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I drive on the road between here and Kitale, which used to take me less than four hours to get there at normal speed. You take more than eight or nine hours to get to Kitale today because people break the laws left, right and centre. You will find a truck which is supposed to be on the last lane on the first lane and a policeman allows it. You wonder whether this guy went to school or knows road signage. In essence, when you are driving on the highway, the trucks are supposed to be on the extreme left. ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: A Member has said that when a policeman stops you, the first thing he asks for, before checking whether the car is roadworthy, is the driving licence. What has that one got to do with driving because for you to drive, you must have a driving licence? However, some people may not have driving licences. You will find that a vehicle is defective or it is very good and yet he is asking you for things which are very irrelevant. I want to support the Motion by saying that it is time for us to implement the law because we ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: In my constituency, I want to say without fear of contradiction that I support over 74 view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: youths for driving lessons after every three months. It has worked out very well because my fear has been that I have been spending a lot of money on mortuary and hospital fees. A parent runs to me saying that his or her son crashed with a boda boda . Therefore, Members should take a cue from me and those who have the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) money should set aside some money to train bodaboda riders countrywide on road safety. It does not matter where one is. A boda boda may hurt one person or cause an ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us fast-track this issue. I thank Hon. Osoro for coming up with this Motion. We will support it to the end and see it implemented as soon as possible. Thank you. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, may I also take this opportunity, on my behalf and on behalf of the people of Kwanza Constituency, to pay my special tribute to the family of the late Assistant Minister. When I was in school, I heard and saw Mr. Oprong. He was a very eloquent speaker and I admired him because of the way he conducted himself and helped this country. As one Member mentioned, this is a man who made history. He is the only one I have heard of having a bullet lodged in his head for 25 years. He has died with the ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I take this opportunity to say that Oprong was somebody who brought peace in Western Kenya when I was growing up. As my colleague, Hon. Chris Wamalwa, has mentioned, he was a man who brought peace in the region. Therefore, on behalf of my family, I pay tribute to Hon. Oprong. view
