• 24 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to support the amendment. I know insurance cases, as Hon. Gaichuhie, the Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade has said, are sometimes very complicated. If the issue of settlement of claims is not well looked into, we might end up getting falsified claims taken to insurance companies. We have seen some insurance companies falling because of false claims. Like medical claims, if proper investigations are not done, there might be a lot of problems. view

• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. At the outset, I want to say that I was very happy about the issue of the formation of the Board. I know that the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing did a lot of work. That is because there was hurry on the issue of the classification of roads and also formation of the Board to streamline the problem we had with the county governments on the issue of roads. There was a problem on which roads are supposed ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, I would like to talk about the classification of roads. Most of my colleagues have spoken on the issue of some roads that are very important being left out. Some of those roads lead to very vital facilities like schools and hospitals. Most of the times, you will find yourself in very heavy arguments with our governors because of the roads they have given priority. In some cases, they are laying marram on small feeder roads; leaving major roads that lead to very big schools. I remember one case in Mukoye Secondary School in my constituency.

• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: public participation so that people can pick the artery roads that are very crucial to the movement within the constituency. That is very important. During Committee of the whole House, some areas of this Bill will require serious amendments so that we do not leave out vital facilities in this classification. view
