• 27 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf, the people of Kajiado South and the people of the great county of Kajiado, I send my condolences to the family of the late Hon. President Mwai Kibaki, the people of Othaya, and the people of this great country, which he led for 10 good years. First of all, I was the last Minister of Interior in Hon. Kibaki’s administration. Then it was called the Ministry of Internal Security and Provincial Administration. Economically, Hon. Kibaki was a performer. Politically, he was a democrat. Why do I say that he was a performer?

• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Kenya is one of the countries with the highest levels of taxation in the world. Currently, all our neighbours have lower petrol costs. Prices are down in Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia and that is why Kenyans are going to those neighbouring countries to get petrol. This House should work towards zero-rating petrol and petroleum products. Hon. Wanga’s Committee has worked well. This is something good. However, we must remember that Kenyans are suffering because of COVID-19. Most businesses are down and the Government needs to be sensitive to ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: The Report of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on the ratification of the protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of the Older Persons and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to give Notice of the following Motion: That, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on the ratification of the protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of the Older Persons and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 22nd September 2021 and, pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(4) of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act of 2012, approves the ratification of the protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg your indulgence. The response to this request is lengthy, counting to 11 pages. I kindly request that I table it. A copy has been given to the Member for Kikuyu to go through. Just in case he has issues he may not be satisfied with, he can get in touch with me and, as a Committee, we commit to solve or address those issues. Before I table it, I would like to point out that this Statement is multi-sectoral. It involves the Ministry of Health because it is about the Covid-19 vaccines with respect to people ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I fully agree with your directive. I want to put some things in the correct perspective. During this Covid-19 season, 788 Kenyans travelled to China as opposed to what my good friend is saying. However, there were 242 Kenyans who were unable to meet the very strict restrictions of the Chinese Government. Those who applied and met the conditions were 788. Hon. Speaker, I wanted to put into the correct perspective the fact that we do not have trade attaches as a country in all our Missions abroad. Very few of them have. Secondly, there is ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. We have been canvassing on the Floor of this House the need to have trade attaches in those Missions abroad that have economic value. I am happy because trade matters are neither under my Committee nor the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is a substantive Ministry called the Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade that handles international trade. The Departmental Committee on Trade and Cooperatives of this House oversees them. I am happy because the immediate former Chairperson of that Committee is currently the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. He has actually been moving this House ... view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended— (a) by deleting sub clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new sub- clause — “(2) The Foreign Service shall be headed by the Cabinet Secretary.” (b) in sub-clause (3) by inserting the words “, international law and customs of diplomatic practice” immediately after the word “Constitution”. The justification for those amendments is that it is difficult to establish who are political staff and who are not as earlier indicated in the Bill. We are seeking to delete that and give a new definition. In Clause ... view
