• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied with the answer. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. We deserve the recess. We need to get time to celebrate with our people for a job well done. We have been busy selling “Yes” and “No” around the country. After doing that, we passed the current Constitution and ushered in the new Republic. We deserve to have a moment to go and reflect with our people, and congratulate Kenyans for being supportive of the new constitutional dispensation. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: It is also time to go home and take stock of development projects in our constituencies, with a view to getting them forward and ushering new ones. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion that the Ministry of Energy be given the funds that they have requested. But before doing that, I would like to make a few remarks and agree with people who have spoken before me about the competitiveness of manufacturing goods in this country. One of the major inputs of manufacturing is energy. If we continue making energy expensive, this country will not be competitive. So, we must think of how to reduce the cost of energy to enable our manufacturers to produce goods more cheaply and, therefore, competitively. view

They are still not easily affordable by our people. So, whatever we do, we get our ... view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other source of energy is wind. We have a lot of wind. I am pleased to note that Ngong Hills have become a source of wind energy. There are many other high places even if we do not go to Aberdare, but there are other many highland areas where we can source wind energy. Therefore, let us diversify our sources of energy. Let us make energy a lot cheaper and make Kenya a lot more competitive in the production of manufactured goods. view
• 25 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, starting from the point of the shortage of teachers that is well known in the country at 65,000, at this rate of recruitment, could the Assistant Minister tell this House and the country at large, how soon we shall be able to correct that shortage? view
• 16 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose the adoption of this Report. I want to reflect on the general mandate of House Committees. Our mandate is really not to micro-manage. Our mandate is an oversight mandate. We must remind ourselves that we are lawmakers and not law breakers.
