• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Another important issue which I would like to highlight is that the speakers of parliaments of the countries likely to be affected by the Economic Partnership Agreements‟ (EPAs) deadline of October 2016, were urged to explore the avenues of collectively writing to counterparts in the respective EU States Parliaments expressing the concerns raised with the coming to effect of the EPAs, with the aim of postponing the deadline for ratification of EPAs, and allow Parliament to be fully engaged in the process. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we also resolved, as a matter of urgency, to ensure that we prepare, as Parliament, for the meeting that shall be held in Nairobi in November. One of the issues that we shall be looking at is that parliamentarians need to engage with their constituents to bring democracy, local and regional focus into the implementation of development and humanitarian objectives which will be missing if their voices are not heard. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Overall, the meeting resolved that Parliament should have a unified force and speak with one voice at the parliamentary forum preceding the high level meeting in Nairobi. This will present the necessary momentum for parliaments to be mainstreamed in the SGG processes through development planning, resource mobilization, monitoring and oversight. The participation of the Kenyan Parliament was noted and it is important that in November 2016 in Nairobi, all parliamentarians participate because it is something that is important and is going to give Parliament the centre stage in matters of development. view

• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended by inserting the following words:- (a) “Meru County” immediately after the phrase “North Rift regions”; and, (b) “defiled/rape victims” immediately after the phrase “orphaned children”. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the reason for seeking to make this amendment, with your approval is that Meru County, on the eastern of Mount Kenya, has suffered a lot of cattle rustling The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: in five out of its nine constituencies. This is because of its neighbourhood. It is important that this is reflected. As we sit, there is a petition before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on issues of insecurity in Meru. For this Motion to be more comprehensive and inclusive, it is important that women are heard. They are the ones who suffer when there is cattle rustling. I have had instances in Meru where women are raped and children defiled. It is of concern that gender is not factored in this Motion. When we speak about cattle rustling, ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. I note that this is a matter of national importance. In view of the fact that the issues we are seeking to move amendments concern the electoral process, and especially the matters of the tribunal, because during elections we have had conflicting jurisdiction between the IEBC and the Political Parties Tribunal, these amendments are going to bring a lot of clarity so that at the time of electoral disputes, parties are able to sort them out without necessarily going into a lot of confusion. Also, any other issue for which ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, welcome back from the recess. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I am welcoming specifically the Chairman. I support the rejection of that amendment because legally speaking, when you put any word or name in the interpretative clause of any Bill, the purpose is to help Members to understand the content of the Bill or the Act. If it is not in the content, then it cannot be put in the interpretive section of the Bill. view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me also support this Bill, especially the process under which the Bill has been sorted out. We have seen Parliament at its best. It has moved with speed to ensure that this Bill comes to be. Now that this industry is going to be streamlined, I am going back to Meru County to encourage my sportsmen and sportswomen to come to it. This is the place to be. As a country, we have faced very many challenges. We have always overcome them because if God is for us, no one can be against ... view
