• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Therefore, even as we support, I support the Bill before this House because with it now, we have a draft report that has been developed by the two Committees. It is crucial that when a committee goes out to engage the public and develops a Bill and the Bill is ahead of the pack, it is only fair and reasonable to other colleagues in Parliament that the Bill be given its rightful place. But for another Committee to start the whole process, develop another Bill and then it is fast-tracked by the leadership in Parliament to overtake the other, I ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I support this Bill and ask Members to support the Bill before this House. It is useful because we need to move the country forward. It is not fair and proper leadership, if those with responsibility treat committees as if there are some that are senior to others. Also, for those of us in committees, we need to take this responsibility with a little bit of respect. If others have done it, let them continue and feed into the Bill that was ahead of the pack. It does not make sense to engage the public twice. We look like people ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to convey my condolences and those of the people of Ndaragwa to the families of John Oyioka and Sen. Yusuf Haji. In the 10th Parliament, I had an opportunity of serving together with Sen. Haji. As my colleagues have said, he was a true nationalist. We had an opportunity to engage during the making of our Constitution 2010. He thought like a true Kenyan and believed that all Kenyans regardless of where they are need to be treated equally. Those of us who had an opportunity of serving with such a ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: we pass on because our day is also coming, most likely we will give the people we have left problems for 10 to 14 days. I wondered how many of us will have a chequered performance like that of Yusuf Haji yet, he was dwelt with within hours. What reason would any of us have to be left on tables and in cold rooms for some 14 or 15 days? I think this is something we need to learn from the way they dealt with Yusuf Haji. Let me conclude by saying that the whole management of the body of ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute and support this policy paper that has been developed by the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. Without doubt, the issue of wildlife is crucial to us as a country. It has been a source of revenue because of the tourists that it attracts in this country. To have a policy that is keeping with the changing trends is a very useful thing. I note that among the many things that have been written in the document is that Kenya ranks as the second country in ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: are over 17 challenges that have been identified by the Committee, and I think it is important that we also get to think through them. As I support this policy paper, let me say that without doubt, tourism is key to this country. I know a little while ago you were complaining about the difficulties that you are having and that are being occasioned onto your people by your good neighbour. Those difficulties are also overflowing into Ndaragwa because we are also losing cattle. We are also losing goats and as we lose them, they go through your area. So, ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you were to rely on the tourism by Hon. ole Sankok, then this country would suffer. If he goes across the country looking for rats, then I think he must… They can also be a tourist attraction. If he has not seen them, we have them in plenty. But if you look around, you will see more than just the rats and the rabbits. What I was going to say is that it will interest him to visit Lake Ol Bolosat, for example, where we have very many species of birds that are very unique ... view
• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I support it because in my constituency and many other areas, there are several projects that have stalled because the Government could not collect The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: revenue. In Ndaragwa, we had several projects namely; tarmacking of roads, Karago-ini and Kirima water projects and the Pesi Dam. I believe that once we allow the Government to collect revenue, we shall have our projects being done in our constituencies like it is in other areas. view
