• 28 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Every citizen has the right to free, fair and regular elections based on universal suffrage, and the free expression of the will of the electors for— (a) Any elective public body or office established under this Constitution. Hon. Speaker, I bring this matter to your attention and the attention of the House because there is a video going around in the social media regarding a specific religious leader who is speaking on an issue that touches on certain areas and. more specifically. Lamu. He specifically mentions that a certain community or people from a certain ethnic community should not vie ... view

• 28 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: discrimination that might be taken upon. This is a grave issue from my constituency. It has caused some serious tensions in some of our metropolitan constituents. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs regarding the dismissal of Mr Joseph Wang’ondu Wamugunda, a Police Constable of Police Force No.64064. view
• 27 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Mr Joseph Wang’ondu was employed by the National Police Service (NPS) as a Police Constable on 2nd May 1992 and deployed to the Northern Frontier Province where he worked for five years before being transferred to Jogoo Road Police Station. On 9th August 2000 while discharging his duties, he arrested a civilian who was impersonating a police officer working for the Alpha Five Flying Squad.

• 26 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Even though I represent a constituency where coffee is not grown, I am a coffee farmer in Kandara and Muranga. To my in-laws who are busy mentioning it, it is important to mention that the biggest consumers of coffee are Nairobians. In fact, the New Kenya Planters Cooperative Union (NKPCU) plant is located outside my constituency. Before that, it used to be in the larger Embakasi Constituency. It is literally at the doorstep of my home in Mowlem, where people call it Dandora. I will be here, and I second the Motion. view
• 26 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. My concern is on this 10 per centum that is proposed in the amendment. The Chairperson has rightly pointed out that this might have to be one of the issues that go for mediation. I would like him to reconsider it. I believe this grant was going to help in development especially in coffee growing areas. The Senate in its wisdom passed it to be at 25 per cent, which the Chairperson considers a high figure. The Chairperson could consider meeting the Senate proposal half way and probably reduce it to about 15 per cent ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I want to oppose this provision extremely. Let us just do a quick roll call. Where will the counties that grow coffee get people with PhDs? Will Muranga and Kiambu, for example, get anyone? You are going to get somebody from outside your county who is going to fill any vacant position. We must, therefore, oppose this provision. This is not a university that requires a Vice- Chancellor who is a professor. That is not the case. Hapana! view
• 26 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This Clause takes me back. I echo Hon. Kaluma’s words. It seems there are predetermined people for some of these positions. We have somebody with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) creating a position he is the only one qualified for. He is seconded by Dr Oundo. They are saying that a person who has been working here has to undergo skills audit. What are we doing here? It is very clear there are people whom you have targeted and you intend to remove and replace them. You will determine which skills they have. It is ... view
