• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: voters? I think that Motion is out of order. We have to discuss how we can deal with Nairobi. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think as a Budget and Appropriations Committee member, a good job has been done by our Chairman and our Committee. We are open to criticism.

We are targeting more on industrial development and job creation and that is what my Chairman has been doing. Thank you very much, Chairman. I support this Motion. We are with you all the ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

The investors will come here and take it on a guarantee for 15 years or 20 years. They will build a metal rail on one ... view

• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving Nairobi Members of Parliament a chance to contribute. I would like to thank the Mover of this Motion which is very important. I would like to draw the attention of the Members of this House to the fact that the matatu people pay to a group which belongs to them. We know this group. The police take money from the same matatu people. Again, they go and pay rates to the City Council. We did not object to the rates for private vehicles but it is very uneconomical. Today, most students from ... view
