• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, firstly, let me thank you for giving me an opportunity to delve into this most important subject. Additionally, I thank the sponsor of the Motion, Hon. Michael Muchira, for his wisdom to bring it forth. I rise to support it for various reasons. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The enormity of our country’s current challenges and chronic unemployment within us point to the need to give young NYS trained youths a chance to be recruited in the disciplined forces. When these recruits who have already acquired paramilitary training will be absorbed in the disciplined forces, they will be exempted in certain subjects and trainings. Hence, it will save this country enormous amount of money. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The training acquired while at NYS augmented with trainings at the disciplined forces will assist to rebuild infrastructure, install green energy, restore our environment and help during national disasters. My constituency was a victim a while back when it rained so heavily. There was a great amount of deluge that affected most inhabitants of my constituency. As a matter of fact, I did not see any intervention by NYS or the national Government to help us resettle and alleviate the sufferings of these most valued constituents. When the NYS graduates are recruitment into the disciplined forces, they will be in ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Additionally, when the NYS trained youths are integrated within the disciplined forces, they will collectively break down barriers arising from extremes of wealth and poverty. We have seen that constantly as a country. It will also help the many trained desperate youths to stay out of trouble that can lead them to prison. We saw a while back how dangerous indoctrinated youths can become mostly at the Coast and within Nairobi. We saw and witnessed the amount of damage that was caused by these indoctrinated gentlemen who are not very gentle in the Republic of Kenya. Most importantly, if we ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, it will address the disparity of having a tiny segment of our young people who are mostly disadvantaged serving the nation. This country is in desperate need of personnel to help rebuild not only the social broken fabrics but also our economic endowments as a country. I, therefore, rise to support this timely and important Motion. view

• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. A fortnight ago, I wrote a letter to you indicating that I will be handling resettlement of my constituents who were affected by the floods. It was in line with Standing Order No.260, which I invoked in that letter. The registration happened during the same period. I have come today a little indisposed because even the voice has changed. I will endeavour to register within the shortest possible space of time. I apologise for the delay, but I think my reasoning is well in order. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in supporting this Motion, I would like to state that the arbitrary arrests, incommunicado detention and the deliberate refusal of bail by the police is an affront to the constitutional right and enjoyment of freedom rights which must be put to a stop. Let us backtrack a little. The Constitution in Article 239 gives security organs the mandate to discharge their duties with great impartiality. We have seen even during the period when the two successive general elections of last year were bungled by proponents of impunity, the police had a penchant for harassing ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for your indulgence. I am seeking your direction. This morning, I did a letter to the Clerk and the Hon. Speaker as regards the disobedience to court orders that has become quite prevalent lately in this country and, specifically, about the treatment of my constituent Dr. Miguna Miguna. I need your guidance on this because it is a fundamental subject of public interest. I cannot see it in the Order Paper. So, kindly guide me properly. Thank you. view
