• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to thank President Obama for honouring his promise to visit Kenya while he is still the President of the USA. His electrifying message has united the country. As you correctly mentioned, even the Leader of the Majority Party spoke very well. He 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
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: did not attack our leaders. Therefore, we will not attack their leaders. The visit was very timely. We needed that jot to push us forward. President Obama spoke of equal development. He said that we should not marginalize some areas. He gave an example of a child in Nyanza region, who has four times chances of dying than a child in Central Kenya region. That shows unequal development will not help this county. Therefore, we should be inclusive. I am sure that from that slate, we can move forward very successfully. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: He also reminded us about corruption. He mentioned that we should start fighting corruption focusing on the “big fish”. He emphasized that this should be an all-inclusive fight. It should not be a government war but rather the communities must also be involved in the war against corruption. He said that Kenya loses about 250, 000 jobs a year because of the money that gets wasted through corruption. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, President Obama also talked about the challenges that we face; insecurity. He dwelt on it in depth and promised that the USA will continue partnering with Kenya in the war against terrorism. It is good to note that the US government is the biggest supporter of the war against terrorism in most countries in Africa and Asia. On good governance, President Obama said that the issues of democracy and respect for human rights are very important. He said that democracy does not stop with elections but it is a continuous process and, therefore, we should usher ... view

• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Adjournment Motion. I support it. I want to thank my colleagues because we have achieved a lot. The speakers before me have said that we have shown a bipartisan stand in many issues. That shows that the National Assembly Members have matured to a level which they will not vote on party lines but they will reason out and see how they should vote. As we retire to our constituencies, there are things that have disturbed my mind. One is the retired teachers’ unpaid pensions. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know that by the time one retires, they have served the Government and are in the time when they need assistance most. These people need to be paid. This is because they went to court and there was a High court ruling that they should be paid. It is not a lot of money. It is about Ksh40 billion. I urge the Government to pay these retirees their dues because some are sick, old and poor. It is bad when someone who has served as a teacher cannot buy medicine in their old age or ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The other thing that disturbed me is the rejection of the nominee Monica Juma. The Committee said that she was very qualified. She had everything that it took but she was not bending to their requests. That was a very bad reason to deny her a chance. I hope that in future as long as civil servants are qualified, this House will not deny them opportunity to serve this country. view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I congratulate the President for the crackdown on illicit brew. When something is done in such a large scale manner and it causes such an impact, it is something to be happy about. These illicit brews have killed our children and many of our people not only in Central Kenya but in the whole country. This crack down should go on but with a rider that we should protect businesses. Those who are properly licensed should not be under threat by goons pretending to implement this crack down. Let the Government protect licensed businesses so that they do not live ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: their taxes. Let goons not invade it. Let us stop production of brands that the Kenya Bureau of Standards KEBS does not approve. Let them receive Government protection because they are taxpayers and they are employers who have created employment for the youth of this country. view
