• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. This issue of lack of network in quite a number of constituencies is affecting quite a number of Kenyans and we have started to look into it. We shall be responding in two weeks time, after recess. view
• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you have heard, the Statement request is related to the one by hon. Dukicha. Therefore, we shall combine the two requests and respond to them together two weeks after the recess. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to take this time to congratulate hon. T.G. Ali for moving this Motion. Indeed, over the years, we have experienced disasters in most parts of this country. If you are a student of mathematics, you can predict with some degree of confidence when disasters will occur again. You can predict this year, next year, ten years and 100 years from now. Therefore, we must move very fast and establish a Disaster Management Authority to respond to those disasters when they occur. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Last year, I lost 15 persons in my constituency as a result of landslides. As much as the Government was very quick to send a very big delegation led by the Prime Minister to condole with us, it has taken some time for this Government to compensate or even move the affected people at that time. Indeed, the small department in the Office of the Prime Minister at that time moved very fast and provided foodstuffs to the victims. Tents were also provided.

• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: As we establish the Disaster Management Authority, I agree with my brother, hon. Chanzu, that there is no need of establishing a department or an authority without funding. Therefore, we must ensure that we give them enough funds and equipment to respond adequately and in a timely manner. We should forget cases where fire brigades respond two or three hours late. They appear when you have lost all the property. Therefore, we need to equip and finance the Authority. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, as we establish the Authority, we need to have branches across the county. There is no need to establish an Authority that is based in one place in this country. We can have branches in Mombasa, Eldoret, Western Province and other regions. Now that we have given governors sufficient funding, it is high time we urged them to establish small units of disaster management to respond--- view

• 24 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Is my good friend, hon. Mbarire, in order to imply that in most cases, women are nominated to serve in the Catering Committee? I would like to inform her that, indeed, in the last Parliament, 50 per cent of the Members who served in the Catering Committee were men. view
• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when will the Assistant Minister comply with the law because if he takes the list of these directors, out of the eight parastatals, only three comply. Because out of the nine directors for KenGen, six come from one region – I will not read their names; if you go to REA, you will find that four come from one region; in NOCK, five out of seven come from one region; if you go to Kenya Power, you will find that four out of seven come from one region. How soon will he ensure that we have regional ... view
