• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The Turkwel-Lokichar project has been allocated Kshs1.4 billion in the Budget. By reducing this with Kshs300 million, there will be no damage. We are aware that money allocated to this project, which is also of benefit to the people of Turkana County, may not be absorbed in the first financial year. The project of establishing a university in the same region will be of mutual benefit to the people of Turkana.

• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion where KPA is requesting the Government to guarantee it to borrow a loan of Kshs27.3 billion in order to finalise the construction of the second container terminal.

Therefore, this Bill seeks to put in place measures that will control and ensure that we have a fair playing-ground in elections, irrespective of party positions, support base and candidates that are going to vie.

It is time we state clearly that MCAs or candidates vying for the position of MCA are diploma holders, post form-four certificate holders or Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) holders. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies Bill of 2015 by Hon. Duale. I am pleased with the fact that goods imported by people who live in the Diaspora will not attract IDF and all the other goods that have been listed in this schedule. view
