• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: accommodate the hawkers who are currently using Muthurwa Hawkers’ Market. As we do that, it is also important to consider the Machakos Terminus, which neighbours Muthurwa Hawkers’ Market. It is full and is spilling over to Pumwani and Landhies roads. It is my proposal that, as we acquire that land, we consider how to accommodate those buses that do not have adequate space at Machakos Terminus. Further, it is high time that we thought of creating a middle income economy. As you know, in Wakulima Market and Muthurwa Hawkers’ Market, we are dealing with middle income economy people.

• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not satisfied with the answer given by the Chairperson, taking into consideration that, in fact, we have representatives who are well known as “County Commissioners”.

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, tea has been one of the largest foreign exchange earners for the country just like coffee used to be. However, the tea export market appears to be dwindling at the tea auction in Mombasa. This problem has been partly due to a prohibitive and punitive legislation which subjects small scale traders or indigenous farmers and other stakeholders to untold misery and loss of income as all tea cannot be exported directly but has to go through the auction. In addition, the main markets for our tea are politically and stable countries in Africa and Asia and also the ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the Statement, the Chairman should inquire into and report the status including the strategies used for the marketing of Kenya tea in the world market at the Mombasa auction, the necessity of restriction on the processing, packaging and selling of the tea by indigenous tea farmers and cooperative societies directed to consumers outside Kenya and the benefits if any of the restrictive legislation on the exporting of tea to the farming community and if none whether a repeal of the same--- view

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to seek clarification from the Chairman with regard to the death of a mechanic who was arrested by police officers from Kasarani Police Station and detained there. Within a day, the same person was made to take poisonous illicit brew which took away his life.
