• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I want to think that one of the reasons air transport is costly in this country could be as a result of the taxation regimes that the airlines are exposed to or may be jet fuel is exposed to. This House has a responsibility to make sure that we review the tax regimes for air travel related services so that air transport can be reasonably cheap for people who want to travel by air in this country. As we speak today, travelling by air is too expensive and nearly out of reach for middle class Kenyans. In fact, I think ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I want to support this Motion. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is only that the level of consultations is so high; I wanted to ask a question because I was not able to see the list. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we notice that with the coming of the new Constitution, the number of Ministries was reduced from 40 to barely 20. We are being told that instead of using the Government houses that are available, we are leasing office space. I want to understand why. Secondly, I was not able to look at the list that the Chair was reading. I am wondering if Harambee SACCO House that Parliament uses is one of the listed houses. I want to understand who particularly maintains Government houses because the lifts in that house are a disaster in waiting. Lately, ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Now that the Chair has said that Harambee Plaza was actually leased by the PSC, I want to request him, if you allow, that we set aside time in the course of next week, have a kamukunji and discuss the security of Members of Parliament who use the Harambee Plaza. This is a serious issue. We also want to discuss the security around Harambee Plaza, Continental House, Protection House and St. Johns Building. We really have to set aside time and discuss that because I really fear for hon. Members of Parliament. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to thank hon. Moi for bringing this issue to the House. What is the Ministry of Transport doing about the black spot around Salgaa and, indeed, in other parts of the country?

• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: worst roads when it comes to accidents. It is a very narrow road which was built over 50 years ago and it has not been expanded since. What is the Government doing to ensure that there is safety on that road, instead of building hospitals and preparing for accidents to occur? They know that accidents are definitely going to occur. The Chairperson should give this House the plan that the Government has to expand those roads, given that we have motorbikes which were initially not intended to use those roads when they were constructed. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to understand something from the Chairman. He has admitted here that the killings in Mpeketoni were related to politics, the land question and also to Al Shaabab, which one of these specifically caused the Mpeketoni killings? Did all the three agents of the three factors work together to cause that mayhem at the Coast? Two--- view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for your indulgence. I think your technical team is the one who are delaying the process. Otherwise, I had done my part. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to really thank the Committee on Delegated Legislation for the job that they have done. My own understanding of the NCA is that it is a body that is supposed to regulate the industry. They should try as much as possible to get us many members as possible and to net all the contractors in this country, so that the industry is streamlined. However, again, we must understand that there are new players that are just coming into the field. Many of them are the youth. You will understand that the Government has a ... view
