• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I support the Motion because it is very important. It adheres to the provisions of Article 2(6) of the Constitution. I understand the urgency of the Motion because it is to be ratified before 30th September, 2016. So, it is very important that we pass it. view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: I would have preferred we had more time to study and consult experts to see the pros and cons as we proceed with our trade agreements with the EU. The EU is the destination of 32 per cent of our exports. This means that goods worth Kshs165 billion are exported to the EU. That means that 200 firms and over four million Kenyans benefit through direct jobs. By signing this Agreement, we will stop the EU Parliament from imposing a Kshs10 billion a year on Kenya’s exports, especially on flowers. This Agreement means that the EU will have access to ... view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: World class infrastructure like standard gauge railways, ports and airports, whatever the Government is doing, go hand in hand with development. If we continue developing the infrastructure, the export sector will also grow. view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: The EPAs are being signed at the level of regional blocs. We know that Kenya is a developing country and countries within the EAC are least developed. We have these challenges, but I hope they will be overcome through negotiations. I know the Agreement integrates marine and inland fisheries into these agreements. Kenya has massive untapped potential in fishing, but if we count the number of ships and boats that we have in the fishing industry, we realise that we have none. We only see some vessels from other countries coming to fish in our waters. view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: I support and I can read the mood of the House. When Donald Trump says that he would make America great again, he is saying that he will bring back manufacturing. I support this. I am not supporting Donald Trump, but I am only saying that when he says that he will make America great, he means that he will bring back jobs. I emphasise that whenever we deal with the EU, we have to do value addition and be competitive. We export over 32 per cent to the EU unlike other blocs. view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. It is good to pass those two very critical Bills which have been negotiated. It is only fair that by the rise of the House today, we complete that job. With those few remarks, I second. view

• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. Today, I am a very happy person because reason has overcome emotion. This august House will be judged by Kenyans as the 11th Parliament that was not selfish and that agreed on this negotiated Bill. I am happy because there will be no more street demonstrations, teargas, loss of property, loss of lives and displacements. It was the wisdom of the President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and the three co-principals, namely Raila, Kalonzo and Wetangula; and of course, the Deputy President, who agreed to whip us not ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Today is a big day. I want us to break early and celebrate because we have achieved what seemed very impossible. It is good to accept what our leaders say. It is good that we can legislate and change any law. Hon. Speaker, in your ruling yesterday, you said that we are at liberty to even change the Constitution itself. We could have made changes to this Bill, but we did not do so for the sake of the country, so that there is peace and understanding, through the advice of our leaders who I thank very much. It is ... view
