• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. When I was in active practice, I used to represent Equip Agencies Limited and do their debt collection. This is a company that has done great supplies to many entities in the country and it has been quite around for a while. It is extremely unacceptable for the Government to fail to satisfy judgements that are passed against it. We know that under the Government Proceedings Act, we cannot attach the property of the Government. Instead of the Government enjoying that privilege it has been given by the law, it is actually abusing it by ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I conclude, it is high time that, as a House, we stood with Kenyans so that their judgements against the Government are satisfied. This Petition is timely and we should help this company recover its money. Thank you. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is an interesting Petition. As you have correctly observed, every Kenyan has a right to petition the House so that it can consider whatever matter that comes before it, and especially if it is of great interest. First and foremost, the reason why the terms of the President and the governors were capped was due to the fact that those are CEOs of the Republic and of the county. The rest, including us, are just about there, hang-abouts and possibly without positions that are clearly defined as far as those offices are concerned. That is ... view

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Court that there are some clauses which form part of the good norm of our Constitution and they cannot be touched in whichever way. Let us just look at it, spare him the agony of knowing that we do not like it very much but, to be frank and honest, I think it is not quite merited. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When the Petroleum Levy Order came before the Committee on Delegated Legislation, we were convinced to approve the increment from five cents to five shillings and forty cents for two reasons; one, we were told that the five cents that was in existence in the legislation was passed in 1972 and therefore, going by inflation mathematics, Kshs5.40 cents was almost commensurate, and we agreed on that. We were also told that the petroleum industry had enforced the order even before it was ratified by Parliament. This was such that the Kshs5.40 cents was already incorporated into ... view

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: the law says; prices of petroleum products in Kenya would definitely go down. This is absolutely important. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to pay my tribute to teachers in the country, my constituency and in every other constituency. For sure teachers belong to a noble professional as many of us have claimed. Teaching is a calling and not a trade, where you just have to teach under whatever conditions and circumstances. It is a profession of professionals. Allow me to say, it pains a lot to see the Government mistreating teachers because they practise under very difficult circumstances. Today, when we go to our constituencies, we see the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) is a ... view
