• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: can we ensure that there is order that I can wake up in the morning and say I will take a view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: or bus to Parliament. Only after that can we come as a House and start telling these people that this is the amount of money that they should charge for this particular service. When we sit here, we do not know the challenges they go through. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: You commute from one place to another and find a road closed yet there was no warning that, that place would be closed. As a result you spend two more hours going from point “A” to “B”. Where will that investor recover the investment they made in purchasing that matatu ? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Where will he get reimbursement for the extra fuel they used? I was in university very recently. From Kenyatta University, I once boarded a matatu to town and they said mbao only for me to pay Kshs 20 and I was told no, he had said mbao tano which was supposed to be Kshs 100. They have to lure you to get into that matatu because once you get there you will pay the fare that they want. There is so much disorganisation in this sector. The moment we get it right and get our roads right such that even ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: With that I thank you. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute. At the outset, I would like to thank and congratulate this Committee led by the Chairman, Hon. Koinange, for a very well done report and specifically take cognisance of the last statement that the Hon. Chair said. In their recommendation, the Committee noted that although the nominees were drawn from across the country, they had met the qualifications of Chapter 6 of our Constitution and have met all the requirements to be in the Commission. They noted that there was no representation of youth and people with ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: many of these children would choose police officers as their first career of choice. Most of the time the police force is taken as that which you choose when you do not make it to the university or when you do not make it to be a doctor or an engineer or any other profession out there. Yet these are the people that take care of the security of our country. When we get robbed at night, when we are hijacked, or get in danger, these are the people that we call. How come there are not as many people ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: With that, I support this Report. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I would like to remind this House that, a few weeks ago, we had a terrorist attack at Dusit. This would have reflected very badly to our international community. However, we involved everything we could and averted that. Therefore, the risk and danger we would have found ourselves in terms of our reputation went down only for us to be treated to the scenes we saw this morning. I will quote in Swahili, “ huu ni msiba wa kujitakia .” We seem to be making one step forward and three steps ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: at 40 per cent unemployment and under-employment. We need to rethink about this issue of strikes in this country. Should we have 1,000 people earning Kshs10,000 a month or 2,000 earning Kshs5,000 a month? The way to deal with this strike is: Is it salary increment they want or do we need to have more people absorbed into the workforce earning a minimum or lower wage? The first strike in this country was by the teachers in 1962 before Independence. We have had 19 strikes since then by our teachers. We have had countless strikes by our nurses. Who are ... view
