• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. What has been expressed by the iron lady of Wang’aya who is now busy educating the people of south Nyanza on how to live and behave is true. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The interest of the orchestrator of this mischievous act was to portray me as a Luo who is too mindful about his suits. More so, they were capitalising on the weakness which is that I love expensive decent suits. Hence, the impression they gave was that I was posed with a danger of drowning but I was still very mindful about my suit. I was busy trying to fit my Brioni suit on top. Those keen observers who looked at the photoshop know that was not my image. As I have said before, I want to allay the fears from ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: When this Bill will be passed, the police officers will have it very easy to go about their business arresting the orchestrators of these serious acts, bring them to book and make sure that these kinds of episodes decline but not increase. I was affected. I know my colleagues and friends who were equally affected. This Bill should be supported and passed like yesterday. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Bill. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity… view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Initially I had wanted to oppose these appointments given that in making them consideration to the constitutional threshold that talks about inclusivity and ethnicity was not considered. On the day these appointments were made, I read that one community in Kenya took up five; the other one took four while the rest were watching. But given the new spirit of cooperation or handshake, I want to support this. Those who are lucky to be appointed must make us proud by living to the spirit of those authorities ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Something is gravely out of order. The Chair, in her wisdom, has ruled that this matter will be conserved and a ruling will come from the Chair. I believe that in view of the very pertinent complaints that my colleague, Hon. Oluoch, has raised, if there are those answers that Hon. Chairman is purportedly giving to this House, he should work with the Speaker and prepare answers which can be released officially through him. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for considering me at this opportune moment because sugarcane growing and processing is the domain of Muhoroni Constituency. We grow a lot of sugarcane. We are home to the main sugar factories and if they are effectively run, there would be no cause for alarm with regard to sugar shortages and, therefore, no opportunities for the ever- emerging cartels in our nation. It would suffice for this House to know that recently we had a caucus of leaders from the sugarcane-growing areas meeting in Kisumu. We deliberated on most of the issues which have ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: it and keep their money which they pay when they want. So, that is one of the issues that will be addressed. I will mention the challenges to this House through the caucus I have talked about. Our efforts could be thwarted if Members from the sugarcane-growing zones are not steady with regard to the issue of careless sugar imports. There is forever an excuse that we cannot produce enough sugar to sustain the local demand. I wonder because the same people who are forever expressing this fear to us are the ones who come up with ideas of making ... view
