• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I suggest that we look at this Motion as put by Hon. Jude Njomo, clean it up and decide to have a continuous voter registration and ID card issuance rather than waiting to do it periodically at the end of the term. The IEBC could help us by putting in place a continuous mass voter registration exercise instead of this last minute efforts that will not work. It is also important that we come up with a smooth and systematic way of issuing IDs. We should ensure that anybody leaving secondary school is issued with an ID and a voters ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for ignoring what he was saying. You should have ruled him out of order because he did not know the Standing Order he was standing on. Let me support this Motion first by commending generally about education. As the previous speakers have said, education is the equaliser because it puts the rich and the poor together and the strong and the weak together and even different genders together. Education, therefore, is one area that must not be handled very casually. It has been the case that whenever there is a big problem in an ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The FPE is supposed to do certain things which have been said here like buying books, repair and maintenance of classrooms and also provide security for the schools. But it is a pity that we are called upon through the CDF to repair and maintain classrooms. We are sometimes called upon in book donation days in schools to go and donate books. So you wonder where this money is going to. It is a very good idea to have somebody who has got financial training to look after these finances, which the Government takes down there. Talking about my constituency, ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief in discussing this Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Yesterday we saw His Excellency the President go ballistic and saying that he was very frustrated because nothing is working as far as fighting corruption is concerned. I sympathise with him because Kenya is made of the rich and the middle class. That is why you see nobody at any particular stage thinking about access of justice by the poor. The passage of this Motion will go a long way to make sure that the poor also access justice. A poor member of our society is denied justice simply because he cannot afford Kshs1,500. Because he cannot raise that amount ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: . When the family of the victim got in touch with me, I asked them why they could not report the matter to the police. They told me that in order for the police to record their statement, they need to look for “something” small. That was before they got to the Kshs1,500 for filling in the P3 Form so that they could access justice. For the police simply to take your statement indicating that you have been cut by somebody, you need to look for around Kshs3,000. These are some of the things we should be looking at. The ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The problem we have in this country, as we have said, is corruption. Even if this Motion is passed, will it work? What we need to tackle before all these things happen is corruption. We will put them in place, pass them over here and say they are now for free and we have police surgeons in each and every county, but they are still going to look for something small. This something small can only be afforded by me and other people like you, and not the common man. Let us put our feet down and fight corruption in ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: On the issue of cash being given out to the older people, it is also not working. That is because the cash is being given and the person who is giving it also wants something small. That is corruption. Even in the small National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG- CDF) that we give, we end up giving somebody Kshs5,000 to take their children to a day school. But a CDF committee member is looking for Kshs2,000 out of that Kshs5,000. Corruption is killing this country and it is frustrating our economic development. Before you invest, you must put something aside ... view
