• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I wind up, in order for us to develop our children who will grow into good citizenry in future, we should regulate those centres. We should also ensure that they have proper infrastructure and are located in good areas. With those few remarks, I support.

• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill by my friend, Hon. Njuki, has come at the right time. This country needs to move forward. The contributions from Members who have spoken before me are good. It is time for us to change things right away for posterity. Like the Member has just said, we have visited Israel, USA, Italy, Germany, France and many other places. We should move forward in the spirit of the founding fathers of this nation. As somebody has mentioned and it is true, when you talk about the founding father of our nation, very few of our ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: about it and not just open the mausoleum next door. It is not convenient because if you open it, it will become very difficult even to control the kind of people who go in there. We should have some amendments at the Committee stage to amend the Bill to accommodate whatever ideas we have in recognition of the fact that we have benchmarked elsewhere and we have seen how other people have done their heroes proud. I have visited the US and as somebody has mentioned, former presidents from various states have their own museums. You do not go there ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Let us have this Bill amended in the Committee of the whole House to include among other things, the founding fathers of this nation. I have visited Kapenguria and I do not know whether most people have gone there or not. The place where Mzee was sleeping is pathetic. There is nothing to show. You find an askari there who will show you where Kenyatta was detained and that is it. You learn nothing other than just the memory. view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: We need to have something said about the founding father and the other six who were held captive in Kapenguria. There is nothing else. We should maintain the vision and the aspirations they had for our country. The late Mzee Masinde Muliro and Ronald Ngala fought for a federal government. It has now come to pass. We now have majimbo, what is what they were fighting for. If you go to the mausoleum of the late Masinde Muliro, there is no writing about him. Even the mausoleum of the former Vice President of this country, the late Hon. Kijana Wamalwa ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The late Mzee Kenyatta fought for pan-Africanism with Kwame Nkrumah, Kenneth Kaunda and Haile Selassie. They wanted a united Africa. So what? History is now an optional subject. You do not have to study it. You can do anything else, pass and go to university, but what will our children know about pan-Africanism? Nothing. If history is an optional subject, somebody will become a professor, but when you ask him about our history, he will not know anything. view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: This Bill has come at the right time, but at the Committee stage, Members who have good ideas should come up with amendments, so that we can patch up this Bill to recognise our past heroes. I have in mind Paul Ngei, Oginga Odinga, Mzee Masinde Muliro, Ronald Ngala, ole Tip Tip and others. They should go down in history. The idea of having a museum in every region where they come from is good. For example, in Eastern Kenya, we will have a museum for Paul Ngei where you can see what he did for us. People will learn ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, let us have Members with good ideas bringing them in the Committee of the whole House to make some amendments on this very noble Bill. view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Bill. view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have perused through this Report. My observation is that there is something wrong with the state of affairs in these parastatals. These parastatals provide employment to Kenyans and some of them are very technical. Although they offer employment to our people, the way they are being run is not satisfactory and so something needs to be done immediately. I came in when one of the Members was highlighting this matter. I got concerned because I am also a former CEO of two big parastatals. The EACC should move with speed in order to assist or ... view
