• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: who live near the schools also benefit. Many people are now getting connected to power and when they get connected to power, they are able to work for long hours and are able to do more than what they ought to have done without electricity. The other one which was really catchy is the one of upgrading our hospitals. In the past, we had only two referral hospitals but, for now, we have about 41. view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I thank the Committee which presented the Sessional Policy Paper No.2 of 2016. This Paper has come at the right time. We all know that our urban areas are full of slums which are swelling every day. People in the slums live in poor conditions. They live in structures which cannot even pass the definition of a house. They use wood, paper and cartons to protect themselves from cold and rain. So, if we upgrade these slums, the population that stays there will have a place ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. I rise in support of the nomination of Jane Kiringai. I am proud to announce that I was in the same school with Jane Wangui in our yesterdays. We were at Bishop Gatimu Ng’andu Girls Secondary School in Nyeri in the early 1980s. Jane is somebody that I have seen grow. She was a year behind me. I have seen her grow over the years holding different high positions, one after the other. I am very glad that at the moment, she has been elevated to take the mantle after another very serious ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: She should be very worried about issues of corruption because the former team left office clean. We ask her to be very vigilant and do her work in a very transparent way so that we do not hear cases of corruption coming from that Commission. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know the team that she has been given is a very capable one. She will lead them and they will deliver to us. On her academic qualifications, I have no doubt that she has the proper qualifications and experience having been the Country Director of World Bank. This exposed her to a level where she will just sit and proceed with her work without fear. I am very glad that she has been appointed to this position. When Mr. Kriegler came to Kenya after 2007 when we had problems, he said that Kenya is the most unequal ... view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for the opportunity. I would like to congratulate the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and its Members for such an insight. For sure, when the Speakers are making rulings or pronouncing themselves on issues that are of great importance to the nation, they should be free. People should not gag them and slow us down. This House is here to make laws and if it is slowed down, the progress of the country will also be slowed down. This is a very pertinent clause and I support it. The ... view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support this issue. I have travelled to a few countries in the world and I marvel at how some countries have managed to preserve the work of their heroes and heroines. Sometimes it really inspires the generations that come after. When you travel, before you are engaged in the official duties, some countries will take you to their museums and show you a few things about their country. It helps a bit for history’s sake and for one to understand where that country is coming from. Recently, we started a database of ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I am also a Member of the Committee that vetted the nominee. I can assure you that going by his demeanor, the way he answered questions and his past experiences, I believe that he will deliver. However, we all know that not one individual can eliminate the problem of alcohol and drug abuse in the country. So, as much as we urge our colleagues to approve him, we know that he needs a lot of support. The previous Chairman came in with a lot of enthusiasm. When an individual is not ... view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I also stand to contribute to this Motion for Adjournment. It is unfortunate that we are talking about cattle rustling again. In the greater part of last year, we took part in several meetings and caravans to address the issue of cattle rustling, which was flaring up in our region. It is unfortunate that the two communities in Baringo County, which I represent, and Elgeyo Marakwet County, which Hon. Chebet represents, were our best examples because they had previously entered into an agreement to keep peace. It is very unfortunate that ... view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Interior and Coordination of National Government should answer this. Very few of the points we proposed are being implemented. The problem is with the implementation of the issues. I remember we suggested that for those areas which have not been opened up, we need to open them up by building security roads. We suggested that children should compulsorily be taken to school and schools be built so that this barbaric attitude that our people have is eliminated in due course. We also agreed that we needed to be very proactive whenever these things happened. However, the leaders from those regions ... view
