• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I wish to clarify that road accidents have taken a big toll on our country leaving many people disabled, orphaned, widowed and requiring constant assistance. It is for these reasons that I kindly seek your indulgence so that we can adjourn the House in order to discuss this matter of national concern. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: First, I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for adjourning the House to discuss this very important Motion about the increased cases of road accidents in the country. I pass my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones yesterday in a very grisly road accident that happened along Muhoroni-Londiani Road. Yesterday was supposed to be a very good holiday for us. Having been a beneficiary of view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: , I expected it to be a very good day, but it ended up being a very sad day after losing so many people. It marred the entire holiday. We got scanty information. Until today, we do not have the actual information that 49 people died on the spot. We also got scanty information that the bus did not have a licence to travel at night. Further information is coming that even the driver was over 72 years, which in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: one way or the other, might have implications on fast decision-making when it comes to the road. We all remember when Hon. Michuki was in that docket and we had immediate sanity. Road rules were respected but upon his demise - may his soul rest in peace - the sector is in shambles to date. Of interest is that until this very minute, apart from a very lame condolence message from the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Macharia, we have not heard any substantial statement from him. We have not heard any statement from the Inspector-General. Neither have we heard from the ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: (Busia CWR, ODM) asked the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development to outline the measures put in place to ensure strict compliance to the National Transport and Safety Authority (Operation of Commercial Vehicles) Regulations (2008) with regard to the provision that a carrier shall ensure that a commercial vehicle is operated by two (2) drivers where the vehicle is to be driven for a distance of more than five hundred (500) kilometers, or where it is to be driven for more than eight (8) hours; and that a driver of a commercial vehicle shall rest for a ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I wanted to welcome my two schools that have just left because they are from marginalised schools in Budalangi. I am happy that we are making a difference in their lives by such exposures. They have just left. I also want to congratulate the people of Budalangi, who are here, for electing Hon. Wanjala, because he is doing a very good job in the county. He is trying very hard to improve the livelihoods of students in various schools. I also support the Motion because we all know that ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The country has a lot of funds which can be channelled to this programme to ensure that we protect and solidify basic education. Our children will be the biggest beneficiaries. I urge the governors across the country to set aside little funds for feeding children at Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres through the proposed school feeding programme. With those remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for catching my eye. My card has been on since 3.00 p.m. Much has been spoken. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock and last time, we wrote a report with serious recommendations. I am happy the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party has named the same companies that were in our Report. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I will speak on one issue about Busia County. The same person that is being spoken about here in this House has brought Busia Sugar to a stall. It cannot perform and the industry cannot kick off. It cannot be given a certificate because he wants it to operate in isolation. We want this person to be investigated. He will come before our Committee, we will write a report and hope that this House will for once take it seriously and have the person investigated. view
