• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I thank my neighbour and friend, the Member for Tharaka, for bringing this Motion. As other Members have said, the locusts were predicted in November. They entered Kenya after Christmas, around 28th December. On 24th January, they reached Mbeere South. Since they entered Mbeere South, there has been a lot of devastation. I have been living with them for the last one month. We have shouted ourselves hoarse. We have tweeted and done all manner of things. The first invasion was by the black ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a national disaster. We are facing hunger and wiping out of livelihoods. In Mbeere South, we grow millet, sorghum, maize, green grams and legumes called thoroko, which have all been wiped away. We are now going to the planting season, the crops will germinate as the new group of locusts will be hatching. We are facing a national disaster. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my request is that the Government should declare this phenomenon a national disaster. That way, the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) will assist since they have just been sleeping on the ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I start by thanking the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands for the Statement. Equally I thank the Chairperson for addressing the particular questions. I am appreciative of the fact that there is now a timeline of three months for the resumption of the exercise. However, I was not even aware that the Statement would be issued today. I have not had time to look at it. For instance, I have not understood the answer to the last question. Much as I appreciate the Statement that has been given, I would like to have some ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: It has taken me a lot of time and walking around to get this Statement. I believe that somebody is dragging their feet on an issue that involves lives of people. I would like to state here that the time line that has been given be followed and adhered to. Security issues should be addressed with the urgency it deserves. Otherwise, we cannot have a Government that cannot provide security. Further to that …. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I stand advised, Hon. Speaker. As I finish, there are no chiefs in the area. That is one of the biggest problems and I hope as I get a copy of the Statement, the Minister comes to the Committee to respond; he will have a chance to respond to all matters on the issue. Thank you. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to make a Statement on the allocation of Land in the Mwea Settlement Scheme in Mbeere South Constituency in Embu County. This is not to be confused with Mwea Irrigation Scheme which is in Kirinyaga County. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to address the question at hand. I rise to support the Motion. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Before I do that, let me start by congratulating you for being appointed as the Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also congratulate Members who are here in the House. I want to thank the great people of Mbeere South for giving me an opportunity to be in this House. As you know, Mbeere South is not an ordinary constituency. Virtually all the previous Members of Parliament in that constituency ran for either presidency or somewhere near it, including the immediate former Member of Parliament, who ran for presidency. The Member was the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. So, I ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The ratification of the Protocol to operationalise the extended jurisdiction of the East African Court of Justice is very important. With globalisation, markets are under attack. This region has become a favourite market for goods from Asia, Europe or wherever. This Protocol seeks to smoothen out the naughty issues, so that trade can flow within the region. It will help to protect businessmen in this community.

• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I support the Motion. This is a very important Protocol and it ought to be supported by all. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
