• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: As leaders in this beautiful country of Kenya, every single weekend we are burying our beloved ones. We are burying our relatives, neighbours and constituents because of this deadly disease called cancer. Therefore, it is important, for medical bodies across Africa like World Health Organisation (WHO) and Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) who get donor funds from within and outside Africa to work towards the eradication of HIV/AIDS. However, all in all, they have not given us the real cause of cancer. We are told that it is mainly a lifestyle disease because of our eating habits. So, should we ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: (Chepalungu, CCM) asked the Cabinet Secretary for Education whether she could explain the policy on deployment of teachers and delocalisation of the management of learning institutions. view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to make a clarification for Hon. Kaluma. The Government of Kenya is Jubilee. Hon. Kaluma, you may not know the position of Hon. Raphael Tuju unless you are a Jubilee member. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion by the Leader of the Minority Party. This Motion is so important to this country. National service should uphold the aspirations of the Kenya people and maintain the fundamental principles upon which the Kenya society is founded. It is the first and the most important social service for a Government to deliver to its people. The issue of Migingo, where both Uganda and Kenya are claiming their right to the island and it is strengthened by colonial maps... If you look at our history, you will note ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support the adoption of this Sessional Paper. When it comes to housing in Kenya, we all know that the NHC is a statutory body established by an Act of Parliament, Cap.117. The history of the NHC goes back to the colonial era. The colonialists wanted to promote Africans, more so Kenyans, to have decent housing. Right now, in Kenya, there is supposed to be housing for the low-income earners, but nobody can define the real low-income earners. Everybody is now a hustler and fighting for their own lives. It is man ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: We need to find a way of identifying direct beneficiaries of the low-priced houses. They should benefit right from acquisition of land on which the houses should be built. Who has the responsibility of identifying the land? Who has the correct procedures of building the houses? Materials for building houses in Kenya are bad! We should have tax incentives that can encourage more Kenyans to own houses as opposed to having individuals acquiring all the houses and reselling them. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Chapter 4 of our great Constitution has the Bill of Rights. Article 43 says that every person has a right to accessible and adequate housing and to reasonable standards of sanitation. Because of shortage of houses in Kenya, private developers use shoddy materials and shortcuts to construct houses thereby risking the lives of Kenyans who have mostly migrated to urban centres from the rural areas to look for resources and better living standards. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I propose that we adopt this Sessional Paper No.3 of 2016 on the National Housing Policy. Thank you. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Motion on the County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill. County governments play a key role in stimulating the economy of this country. The national Government should not be the one putting on hold the services that are required by county governments. Since the Senate has already passed this Bill to us, the honourable thing we can do is to pass it. One of our MPs who have spoken before mentioned about the resources being allocated or released to all the counties at once. For me, I strongly believe that the Governors ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I want to support this Bill because I am looking at the manual and electronic transfer of results because if they said there is... view
