• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last year in July, my daughter who goes to Loreto Primary School was on a school trip to Meru. But because there is total disregard for the rules, a school bus that is supposed to carry 51 people was carrying over 80 people on a long distant trip. Somewhere along the way, the driver was over-speeding. The vehicle was not in good mechanical condition. The vehicle rolled and a couple of kids died. Seven kids had their limbs amputated because of that carelessness. Only four years ago, my follower was involved in an accident along ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a few years ago, people rode bicycles in rural areas and many other towns. If you go to Eastlands today, there are boda bodas . Those pikipikis are now the greatest killer of people. If you go to any hospital, there is a dedicated ward for pikipiki accidents. If you go to Kisumu, it is Ward No.2. If you go to Siaya, there is a ward. If you go to Migori, Embu and other hospitals, there is a ward dedicated for pikipiki accident victims. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we understand that our youth are trying to make a living, but they have to make it within the law. The amount of lawlessness on our streets transcends all cadres of people. We see even when Cabinet Ministers are driving their vehicles or being driven with those flags, they are driven as if they area above the law. Even the policemen are scared of these vehicles. In this law, we want to bring this to an end and make everybody to live within the law. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have made a few proposals, but I hope that stakeholders will meet before we take this Bill to the Third Reading, so that we can cover every loophole that makes our roads “killer roads”. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this Bill, I am proposing that, in a bid to create order on the streets and end crimes such as those of misuse of vehicles which are stolen through people having multiple tags or vehicle registrations, we want the vehicle registration plates to belong to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. In so doing, I want to say a few things. If it was not for me, these names could have passed in December last year. But if you revisit the HANSARD for record, I questioned the procedure. I believe this House must proceed procedurally. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy that your directions have been followed. I am also happy that the Leader of Government Business assured us that consultations have taken place. Consultations are a big part of this Coalition Government, even though a few of us do not want to accept it, but we shall force it down your throat. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, corruption is a cancer in our country. I know that there are hon. Members of this House who hope that Matemu will shield them from going to jail. Just as the Minister for Energy said, nobody is an angel. Truly, nobody is. But we have a duty to save this country from the cancer of corruption. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are going to devolve this Government; let us hope that Matemu and others will not help us devolve corruption. There are a few people, even a few hon. Members of Parliament, who have told me personally that they want to be governors because money is going to the counties. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: I hope Matemu hears you and picks you. Because what we do not want is to see what we see in this Government spreading across this country as a cancer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to disagree that what we saw happening in Grand Regency, Triton and all these other things, are investigations about corruption. This is because we have not seen anybody being jailed. All we have seen are colossal amounts of money leaving our country and filling pockets of a few. view
