• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also wish to thank my friend and colleague, the Member for Loima, for presenting this Petition. I want to echo the sentiments of Hon. Kathuri Murungi. Even as we petition the national Government to help the people in terms of the provision of basic facilities, requirements or necessities such as water, we must be alive to the fact that the county governments have now come of age. We could have excused them in the first term but currently, the county governments should be in a position to prioritise for their people what needs to be done. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: As much as I want to support the Petition and implore the Government, through this House to look at the matter expeditiously, I must challenge the county governments to up their game and address the issues that are of concern to the people in their counties. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Petitions are neither opposed nor supported. view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thought you would give us an opportunity to pay tribute to the fallen hero. Can I do so? view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to join you and the rest of Kenyans to express my condolences to the family, friends and relatives of the fallen hero, Hon. Kenneth Stanley Njindo Matiba. view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: As you have rightly pointed out, Hon. Matiba is the best president that this country never had. I say this with a lot of confidence because I recall those days vividly when the clamour for multiparty democracy was at its apex. It only required people of courage and commitment such as the great Hon. Matiba for the then ruling party to be challenged. Hon. Kenneth Matiba stuck his neck out in the defence of the common person by taking the bull by the horns. Many of us who were young then remember that it was never easy for the then ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: in a mourning state. However, as we do so, we must ask ourselves whether those who are responsible for the tribulations that Hon. Kenneth Matiba underwent have found it fit to repent their sins. As we mourn Hon. Kenneth Matiba, it is not lost on us that the people who are directly responsible for the fate that befell Hon. Kenneth Matiba are still alive. Indeed, it is widely acknowledged that if Hon. Kenneth Matiba was not detained and denied medical attention by the then dictatorial regime, he would be alive today. As we mourn Hon. Kenneth Matiba, as a country, ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, without further ado, I say pole to the family and pray that his soul rests in eternal peace. Thank you. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not want to pretend that I can speak good Kiswahili. Therefore, I will proceed in English, if you allow me. Of course, I know I am in order to speak in English on this Motion. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: At the outset, I wish to support this Motion. I support it largely in principle. I will explain why. It is clear that health is a very critical issue to all citizens, particularly to those citizens who are not well endowed to afford the high cost of healthcare we have come to associate our country with. It is a good intention to have Level 6 hospitals – what we are calling national referral hospitals – established in each of the 47 counties. It is a good intention and dream. view
