• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Something else I would like to ask my colleague to look into as an addition is how to make this a government guarantee and how we can introduce something like pensions’ benefit guarantee corporation that will be in charge of the elderly. Right now each Government coming in has plans on how to cushion the elderly by giving them stipends. How can we look at this as something that can be implemented so that we may do away with the current challenges we are facing? view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I agree with Hon. Didmus Barasa that this Bill is going to encourage people to retire early. We have a problem as a country where you find someone or who has worked very well but feels that he is not safe when he goes home and feels that he still needs to be added more time. As a country, we have a problem with unemployment. We want members to contribute well to our country and at the end they retire and continue earning. view

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I acknowledge the response by the Chairperson, I wish to note that there is one particular case I singled out in my request that has not been mentioned at all. That is the case of a Form Two student, Mr. Emmanuel Kipkoech Rono, who was killed by a police officer at Kiptagich in Kuresoi South, Nakuru County. This is a very unfortunate incident.

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I have a different opinion. We have insurance for all officers who get injured in the line of duty. What if, we have in place an insurance cover paid for by the government so that in case a police officer injures a citizen or destroys properties of citizens then the aggrieved citizens are compensated. You are the third in command and you can only go to the second or the first. When you become one, please, assist us in making sure that we have an insurance cover for all those citizens who are maimed ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the proposal is in line with the Mwongozo Code of Conduct, and there is no way we can have 12 board members.

• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Social Assistance (Repeal) Bill. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare Committee, a person living with disability and a Member of Parliament representing 6.5 million Kenyans with disability in this House, who benefit directly from the Social Assistance Fund. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I would like to thank our Chairman, Hon. Kabinga wa Thayu, which means a peaceful person. He is a peaceful person who needed to assist vulnerable persons in our society. That is why he was passionate about repealing the Social Assistance Act, so that we can have a fund that is properly managed, not ran like a charity or under the management of a department in a ministry and does not depend on the Exchequer, which decides when to release the funds or not. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know you are leader and represent a constituency on top of being a Speaker.
