As their representative, most of the people asked me whether I would voice their concerns in Parliament. It would be wrong if I do not voice their concerns in this House and assume that nothing is happening. The poor people and Wanjiku out there are really suffering because of the high taxation. It is my duty to voice their concerns and protect them because I was elected to represent them. You can read the mood of this country. You can even hear some voices outside there of people who are demonstrating on the streets of Nairobi because of high taxation. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may not look like a farmer, but I am a very good farmer who comes from Hola Irrigation Scheme, in Eka-Ishirini Village.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. Roads in Kenya are in a pathetic condition, especially, the ones in rural areas.

Therefore, it is time to come up with a law that will ensure that the people who live in remote areas are connected to other parts of Kenya. The poor performance by schools in my area is mainly contributed ...
