• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: There are challenges of security in this country. Insecurity has to be fought by all of us across the political divide. It is not the Government’s duty alone but it involves everybody. It is good that they still urge the leaders from across the political divide to sit down and solve this problem because Kenya is losing a lot. Tourism has died and it was a very big exchange earner. Agriculture has been disrupted, Education in North Eastern has been disrupted and many other sectors. We are losing a lot. May we --- view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I appeal to the legislators that as we go for this short break, we also think of ways of making secondary school education free. Parents suffer a lot because they cannot take their children to school. If we can make secondary school education free, all Kenyans will have a chance to go to school and we will be doing good service to this country. Let us hold Kenya together. Let us be united. As we break, let us unite and not break this country in our talks. Those people who make bad statements should be punished. Whether they are legislators ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not think there is anything wrong to go with Isukuti dancers and other dancers as long as it does not disturb the work of Ethics and Anti- corruption Commission. They go there to show support. It is a chance for them to come to Nairobi and know where the Commission is located. I want to support the amendments. This Bill is timely. Since the war on corruption started, we have had so many chairmen and commissioners. I am happy to note that two of them are from my region - starting with Harun Mwau, ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have listened to the very able Chairman talk about these amendments, the reasons and the need to adopt them. I do agree with him that the in-fighting that has been there between the commissioners and the secretariat has “killed” most of the corruption cases. If these amendments will do away with that in-fighting, then they are welcomed. I urge Members to support these amendments. Also, the idea to increase the commissioners from three to five will help in forming quorum. It will bring a bigger pool of resourceful people together who will make a good policy statement. ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: As for public money that is meant for development and is corruptly misdirected to a few people’s pockets, it creates instability in the country. There is a small group of people who get very rich at the expense of the poor mwananchi, who was meant to be served by that money. Today there are hospitals, but they have no drugs because of corruption. There are no roads. People cannot put food on their tables. Parents from constituencies that we represent cannot take their children to secondary schools because of corruption. We must fight this vice by all means and every ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Last but not least, in the constituency where I come from, and in the whole county of Kitui, we have not participated in fighting illicit liquor but we will start next week. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. Everybody knows alcoholism is a major problem in this country. I want to congratulate Members of Parliament from central Kenya for the bold step they took under the President’s directive.

• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Sometimes it is good to do something big whether there are collateral damage to create fear and order. What they did has an impact and that is why we have taken cue from there. As Hon. Ganya has said, this problem is not confined to central Kenya alone. Central Kenya is affected mostly but this problem is common in all the counties. Let us take a very firm decision by supporting this crack down. This crackdown should not only target illicit brews but also muguka and miraa. If this is done, Kenya will be a safe place to stay. I ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me. I support the presidential directive that we carry out a crackdown. I want to appeal to all Members of the National Assembly from central Kenya, Nyanza, northern Kenya and coast to take action and the law enforcement officers will take charge. However, let us make sure that there is no destruction of property. Let this be done in an orderly way. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must also realize that corruption - I thank Hon. Waititu for pointing it out –regarding illicit liquor and such things is being perpetrated by law ... view
