• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to the Motion. I echo the words of hon. Kabando wa Kabando. This is the Eleventh Parliament. As such, we should all be talking in one voice and thinking in same way about our country. The Presidential Speech cut across the country. It is about insecurity, education, agriculture, land, water and many other things. The President brought the two Houses of Parliament together and gave a very lively Speech. We have Departmental Committees, each of which has over 29 Members. The Committees are supposed to be watchdogs to the ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Having also come from Kiambu County, I agree with hon. Njomo that, that road is really bad. However, if you look at the Thika Superhighway some of whose sections fall under Kiambu County, it is true that lights have been vandalized. If you drive from Muthaiga Police Station to Thika, you will find that all those cables have been vandalized. That is up to Kenyatta Road which is in my constituency. I would like to ask the Ministry officials to visit those areas because the scrap metal dealers have really moved in. The House ... view

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with due respect, I am the chairman of the Catholic Church Parish at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. As Catholics, it is misleading for one to say that if a marriage is announced in the church three times, there is a letter that follows. It is the duty of the church elders to call the two persons, before even the matter goes to the priest, who makes the final decision. So, it is not in order for the Chairman of the Departmental Committee to say that there is a written document that comes to ... view

• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also concur with hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona that this morning there was a heavy traffic jam in the City. I agree with her that it caused many of us to be late. However, the men in blue uniforms are trying to maintain law and order. There was a problem. The Governor of Nairobi said that he could control the traffic jam in Nairobi. He now knows what can happen in the City. view

• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On the issue of flying the national flag, I remember that even during my primary school time, we used to respect the national flag. That is the trend that we should be following. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We were on the national flag. As we all know, the national flag is a symbol that we should all respect. I remember when my colleagues were contributing here, they spoke about two governments, the county governments and the national Government. When they talked about the county governments, to my understanding, if I go to Kisumu with my friend, hon. Simba Arati, and there is a meeting being held by the citizens of Kisumu, he will introduce me as a national leader from the National Assembly. When the Governor of Kiambu goes to Kisumu, ... view
