• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Rashid Echesa Muhamed is a vibrant youth who will take care of sports and heritage in the country. It has been alleged that he does not have academic qualifications but my view is that we have no academic qualifications required for one to be a Cabinet Secretary. One must exhibit the expertise, diligence and commitment towards service. Finally, there are many counties that have possibly missed out in these positions. We know for sure that there are only 22 positions, and the counties are 47. That notwithstanding, there are many other positions. We are of the view that these should ... view

• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I rise to second the Motion. It is a crucial Motion that touches on both the Executive and Parliament.

It is for that purpose that Article 66(2) of the Constitution provides that this House will legislate relevant laws ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: It is also important to note that the Bill brings together the national and county governments so that the two can work in consultation through a consultative forum. The planning that is to take place under the guidance of the national Government is coordinated with what the county governments are also planning.

• 7 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the proposed new Standing Order due to the fact that it deals with national cohesion and equal opportunity, a very important aspect of what we, as the Legislature, is supposed to do.

It is a very important Committee. Therefore, I support its formation. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
