• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I send my condolences and those of my family and the people of Gatundu North to the families of the late hon. Muchai and the three persons, who were killed with him. I was at the scene at around 4.00 in the morning. My wife was called by the wife of the late hon. Muchai at 3.05 in the morning. She confirmed that the hon. Member was not dead, but it took long for an ambulance to arrive. Every Kenyan, including medics, should value life. If you saw what was at the site, it ... view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: In the late hon. Muchai’s door step, his village, his constituency, Kiambu County and trade unions, where he had a lot of threats, no stone should be left unturned. We should not put this in the archives; rather we should know who the killers are of the late hon. Muchai. They must be dealt with otherwise we do not know who is next. The Government should also set up a centre that should deal with threats to hon. Members of Parliament and other VIPs. So many people have been threatened, including The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: our dear hon. Tiyah Galgalo. Security agencies in this country should set up a centre that will deal with our security and the threats that we get. The other thing is that tomorrow morning at 7.30 a.m. at St. John’s Building, we shall have a requiem mass for the late hon. Muchai for repose of his soul. We are looking forward to every hon. Member of Parliament joining us in the morning, so that we pray for the repose of his soul. May he rest in peace, and may the people of Kiambu County know that we are going to ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to donate two minutes to the Member for Molo, hon. Jacob Macharia; two minutes to hon. Tiyah Galgalo and two minutes to hon. Sakaja. 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 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have listened to the diverse views that hon. Members have given, but I want to remind people out there and the Members of this House that God created us equal. Our Constitution has also created us equal. What we are saying is that any human being who is minority, poor and marginalised as a result of past injustices which have put him in a situation where he cannot make adequate economic or social life, needs to be considered. Some of the funds we are talking about were set up by the Government of retired President Mwai Kibaki. ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The other thing is the fear of who will access the funds. Someone said that men have title deeds. They will go to the banks and borrow money. The truth is that not all men have title deeds. Worse still, there are those old men who cannot compete with young people for manual jobs. Therefore, if this Motion is adopted, we will come up with rules and regulations to determine who qualifies for a loan from the fund, and how they qualify. I would like to remind the people that everyone has a slot. We have good enough resources in ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he told me that when he sees us, the black men and women, seated on the high table, he feels happy because that is what they fought for. He went on to say that when they see young people suffering, they feel very bad. We now want to make their grandchildren live well, so that they can feel much happier. Hon. Speaker, entrepreneurship is value creation. Value creation is by all living people. As many people create value, wealth is created. When wealth is created, men become productive inside and outside the house, and the country ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I stand to support this Motion as it is. I am sure I will also support it when it is amended. Entrepreneurship is value creation; it is a game of creating value. The Mover of this Motion has clearly stated that he needs all these funds, that is, the Uwezo Fund, the Women Enterprise Development Fund, the Youth Development Fund and others all merged into an account or fund for all. He has gone further to recognize that men are marginalized. So, the major reason why I agree to second this Motion is in recognition of ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: “The values that underlie an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality, equity and freedom.” Article 21(3) says:- “All State organs and all public officers have the duty to address the needs of vulnerable groups within society, including women, older members of the society, persons with disabilities, children, youth, members of minority or marginalized communities, and members of particular ethnic, religious or cultural communities.” I consider men to be members of a cultural community. I also consider men to be the people who really suffered while fighting for the freedom of this country. What they were looking for ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Men are dying at a very high rate. Look at your village, it is only our mothers who are alive. Our fathers died long time ago. Why is this the case? I attribute this probably to deprivation of a good economic life. In 1969, the percentage of men who were 55 years and above was 17.7 while that of women was 19.1. Today, women who are 55 years and above are 24 per cent while men are 18.4 per cent. Why is there sudden demise of a certain strata of our community? It is probably because we have deprived them ... view
