• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Parliament makes laws. When we are making some of these laws and the Budget, the issue of public participation is not always there. So, I feel that if this is entrenched and as Members of Parliament, we tackle the issue and take it further to the people, this will be one of the areas that will make sure that Kenya goes the Malaysian, Singapore and Thailand ways .The actual involvement of the people on the ground will dictate the actual needs of the country. The President has to resonance with the needs of the people. The projects which are ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Looking at the indicators of economy, it was very clear that our economy is growing strong. Every time we go to our citizens, they ask us how our economy is doing. From today, every Member of Parliament here will be able to say strongly that our economy is performing well. We are the ninth largest economy in Africa. Our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is about US$53.3 billion and per capita GDP is US$1,246. This shows very well that we are moving from a low income state to a middle income state. Therefore, given the remaining three years of this Government, ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: When you look at the issue of corruption, the President emphasised it very much. Most of our friends here have talked about the issue of corruption. They have diverse issues about corruption. However, we are saying that this is the best time to handle corruption from the root and make sure that every person who is caught in any scandal in corruption is dealt with. We are very sure that the arm that is responsible for investigation, Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC) and the sector that is responsible for the prosecution, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) should do thorough ... view

• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion on the vetting of Major General (Rtd) Lucas Tumbo. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I will start from where my friend, hon. Tong’i stopped. We have never vetted anybody from Ndaragwa Constituency in this House. So, as we talk of marginalisation, sometimes people look at race and tribe. If you look at geographical location and the people we represent, a lot needs to be done so that we can capture the face of Kenya. The CV of Major General (Rtd) Tumbo is very impressive but one thing is missing – whether the certificates have been authenticated by the Commission for University Education. As my other colleagues said, on the issue of these young universities, ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: We know very well that even if people are employed by the Government, the backbone of our people lies in businesses. I have dealt with people in many occasions who are very serious business investors in Somalia. At times they are even unable to deal with the issues that befall them. I know of somebody who had a very big contract of fumigation of insects in Somalia. However, the issue of insecurity and the people he was going to deal with in terms of diplomatic relations there was a major problem. Therefore, having someone who has confirmed that he is ... view
