• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I just want to support my colleague Hon. Chris. I realise people are using this as a platform for lecturing to us. I want to take this opportunity to tell them we do not need any lecture from a biased Jubilee side. We know what we are doing. There is a saying in Kiswahili, if you allow me to, which says; “Pilipili usoila yakuwashiani?” Why are you involved in things that do not concern you? We have heard of it. Let us talk about this one. My take on this is that, we are.... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: No. I had just started and I was interrupted by a point of order which had no head or tail. I did not even know what he was talking about. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Most obliged Hon. Speaker. I think I need an apology from my good brother. My take on this is, I want to thank whoever noted the error. I think it was well explained by Hon. Cecily Mbarire. She explained what happened. There was an error that was noted and I think it is good. We should pass this Motion. Look at the areas it is affecting, one is the health sector which is very important. Two, agriculture and I come from agricultural area and the other one is devolution. I believe that we should pass this Motion as amended which ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think this Motion is straight forward. I think the Mover made it very clear. It was just an error. Can I stand under Standing Order No.95 to end the debate so that you can be able to call the Mover to answer? It is a straight Order. We should not be offended. All we want is the money to be allocated to the counties. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, It is important that Members are given time to talk. Out there, people do not even know that the NG-CDF has done a number of things in the constituencies, including the development that you have seen around. So, it is good for us to take time to talk about it. What is the hurry for? I suggest that we give ourselves time to talk and debate about it. We should ventilate on this.

• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support the adoption of the National Land Use Policy. We are behind. We should have done this long time ago. However, it has come at the right time. So, I take this opportunity to support the policy because land is a natural resource which is very emotive as I have said before. It is very important and it is used for productive and development activities. As you know, we have had problems particularly in the pastoral areas where they have had conflicts. We have also had problems in our game ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Secondly, we have had problems because of not having a policy. We have had a lot of conflicts where people have been evicted from their land because the land is supposed to be a forest reserve or for Government use. People have been evicted, particularly in Trans Nzoia. We have had problems where people have been thrown out and ended up as IDPs because there has been no policy at all. The other thing is that we have climatic change challenges because we have not used our land properly. Look at the forest cover. This country is on the tropical ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: This policy, although long overdue, should be fast-tracked and adopted, so that we can make use of our land properly for the posterity of this country. The other thing I want to mention is that with this kind of policy, you would have land specifically set aside for agriculture or for living like we had in Tanzania where there were Ujamaa villages designed for people and they have a piece of land where agricultural activities can take place. We should fast-track this. I support, Hon. Speaker. Thank you. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Chief Whip in order to mention the name of somebody who cannot defend himself here? Is he in order? This is because he is referring to the former Prime Minister yet he is not here. I am here to contribute to this very good Motion. However, to adversely mention my leader who cannot defend himself in this House is not in order. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: First of all, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your appointment to the Speaker’s Panel. Secondly, on a light note, I have noted that the new Members are so good in making contributions to Motions. I am particularly impressed with the debate by the lady Members of Parliament. You are doing very well. view
