• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for recognising me. I want to take this opportunity to commend hon. Gakuya for coming up with this ideal Motion. I believe it is in the interest of the larger citizenry of this country. If you are concerned about the economic growth of this country, you will not fail to commend the Mover of this Motion. The man-hours that people spend on Jogoo Road would be spent better elsewhere in growing the economy of this country. My fear is that at the advent of attainment of our Independence in this county, we ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: urge the Government to be bold and ensure that those places earmarked in the initial master-plans which have since been taken by some politically-correct mandarins are repossessed and are put into correct use as initially intended. The Government will lose nothing as billions are lost every day in various camps. Therefore, the Government will be right to spend money to acquire the Muthurwa Railway houses and put the land into proper use. This will decongest Jogoo Road. Today when visitors come to this country, they go back with a story to tell about Jogoo Road; that you can easily come ... view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to make my contribution. I have my reservations about this Water Bill in its current form. I remember that after Independence, during the former President Kenyatta’s regime, Kenyans were promised that by the year 2000, there would be clean piped water at every doorstep. The Government is not run by a Minister. It is an institution and even after Paul Ngei fell off with the Government, if the Government had good faith in the implementation of that, it would have walked its talk and by now, there would be piped clean water for ... view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to rest my case and say that water should not be a devolved function anymore. That is because the county governments are not equal to the task and water is very essential in this country. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in view of the fact that even my good friend, hon. Sakaja, who those days purports to answer for the Government on critical issues has downplayed this matter --- view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it could be the right time for us to terminate the Motion. It has no value because hon. Sakaja, who answered for the Government those days, has downplayed it. view

• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for, finally, remembering me. I do not want to involve myself in a diatribe with the Speaker who has enormous powers, but I want to say that I will forever remember that the ranking system may not be very just as we would have wished it to be. I take this opportunity to thank His Excellency the President for doing us proud by walking his talk. Many personalities give promises when they are campaigning and once they get to their ultimate destination, they forget about the pledges they make or the promises they gave ... view
