• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Much as I find this debate interesting, I do notice that there is strong consensus on the debate on this Bill that we extend the time and that we re-consider the Bill, if necessary. Would it be in order at this point to call on the Mover to reply? view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I stand to support it. This issue of unemployment amongst our youth is of major concern in this country. I know we talk a lot about it. I know there are a lot of programmes, but I am concerned that we are not really moving towards the implementation of programmes that view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this matter. I stand to support this Motion. The issue of miraa has three components and we need to look at those components carefully to get the proper outcome. The first one is the socio-economic component of miraa . That has been discussed quite adequately in this House. Its social importance amongst the Ameru people cannot be doubted. All the Members who have supported the Motion have adequately illustrated that, and we all know it. Its economic importance in the same area--- The amount of cash that ... view

• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am amazed at how some hon. Members can be out of order, persist and get away with it. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: But let me thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I only want to say one thing in three minutes. Hon. Members of this august House, corruption is a serious matter. I know we can laugh when we are talking about it. But Kenyans are dying and the name of this country has gone down. Whenever there are corruption indices being mentioned internationally, we come very high on the list. This is something we must talk about seriously. Our health services and education systems could be much better than they are. Hon. ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Well, he says bad governance. But I know the fourth one to be corruption. Unless we deal with corruption, we will not beat the other three. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I sit down, I say that we must be prepared in this House to, one day, during this term, pass death penalty for corruption. If we cannot go round and do that, as all view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I appreciate that a good action was taken to deport those people because they are either known or suspected to be drug barons, I wish to seek clarification as to why the due process was not followed. We are informed that Kenyans were detained in Nigeria because due process was not followed. Their papers were not right and the Nigerian officials were not involved. That has cost the Government a lot of money. Secondly, it is a policy that deportees are transported by means of their choice? We were told that one of them ... view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I would want a further clarification as to why they were not tried. That is important because if they went through a trial process, more information would have come out. Drug business is not a single person business. Many people are involved and if we are fighting drug trafficking, we must look for all the persons and organizations that are involved. A trial process would definitely review that information. The Leader of Majority indicated that there are known associates and mentioned one famous Akinyi. That means that there are others. Is any action being taken to follow up all those ... view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, thank you for giving me the opportunity to second this amendment. The gist of this amendment is to hasten the construction of houses for nurses. When we discussed this at the Committee and in consultation with the National Treasury and the Ministry of Health, we felt that the performance of the CDF projects have been faster in the past, better and many times were cheaper. Therefore, it was felt that this is something that needs to be done urgently. We are all aware that we have just offered, as a country, free maternity services across the country. That ... view
