• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is true and I want to add my voice to the disappointment in the expectations we had on China, a country that is taking billions of money from this country. We thought they were going to stand with us in thick and thin but the opposite has happened. I support my colleagues by saying that China should not behave like ticks on us - to suck our blood and never give us anything in return. It is important that if they have taken everything - all these huge contracts - they should stand with us ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I support this Motion. We are always learning and shall forge forward for patriotism through the leadership of the President, His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. I thank you. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also appreciate what Hon. Chairman has brought to us about relief food. What people are trying to say here is that relief food is being distributed, but the people meant to get it are not necessarily getting it. Many times, when you ask the public whether the Government distributes food, they say it does, but the vulnerable people do not get it. So, we need to relook into how we are going to proceed from here. Instead of 100 per cent depending on chiefs, we need to look at the Nyumba Kumi leaders who ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to talk about Baringo where we have floods around the expansive Lake Baringo. We have people whose homes have been submerged and up to today, they have not received relief food. I have not seen the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Arid and Semi-Arid Lands go there. They have not received any assistance. We hear that food is being distributed, but those people have not received any attention. It has forced me to take some steps and ask for some funding through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) for some emergency money to assist ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Bill that has been declined by the Committee concerned. As I listened, and this being my first time in Parliament, I wondered how this was the Second Reading of the Bill. So, how did the First Reading go? It means the First Reading was accepted and now we are in the Second Reading. I am concerned and I stand to be directed. Hon. Speaker, it is true if there is duplication of a Bill, and, of course, this is a money Bill, we cannot afford to ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: When we talk about walkways, again we ask ourselves, in a time like this when we have pandemic issues like COVID-19, what the Bill says about people walking, especially those who are suspected and those who are clean from areas affected by the virus. When we say people should self-quarantine, is it in the house or somewhere in the village? It is funny. Hon. Speaker, like you have directed, it is time we discussed this thing. As the Committee on Health, it is funny to hear that somebody is coming to self-quarantine. I am imagining this is a father who ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Through the medical knowledge that I have, the incubation period of a disease is specific to that disease. For this one, it is 14 days. Screening by public health officers at the airport just check temperatures which can rule out any other disease especially if the temperatures are not high. The question remains whether the person who came in today has this 0-14 day for the disease to erupt. For example, if the person contracted the disease yesterday, you are sure by today temperatures are not high and, therefore, the machine might not detect it. In the process, when they ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: interact on the road, it is important that our health is paramount. It should be given the priority and the people concerned should take it a notch higher. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support the Committee in declining the Bill because there is duplication of functions. view
• 19 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. From where I am sitting, I sympathise with the farmers of this country. As much as I want to contribute or give relief to the tea farmers, I have reservations on this Bill. This country cannot afford to have a Bill for every crop that we plant. If today we have the Tea Board Bill, we will need the Maize Board Bill, the Millet Board Bill and the Onions Board Bill. That is not affordable in terms of economy. If we want to improve on the economic part of our farmers, ... view
