• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: periods, we tend not to trust each other on both divides. Therefore, we take the burden of trust to the religious leaders. I am very happy with the Chairman that he is bringing this law at a time when the temperatures are fairly fair, so that we can make a credible law and have people who can do this work in a very fair atmosphere. Therefore, I fully support the reduction of the number of religious leaders nominated to the panel, though two is quite a few. Possibly at the Committee of the whole House, we should give them an ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this chance. I join my colleagues in sending my condolences to the families of the late Hon. Ken Okoth – who I knew very well – and Governor Laboso. Hon. Ken Okoth was a strong human rights fighter. He was very articulate and an educationist. He was very loyal to his party. The ODM Party has lost a very loyal person. He loved his party and was loyal to it while at the same time respecting everybody and other political parties. He articulated his issues in such a manner that he gave a lot of ... view
• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I had put it much earlier, but I thought on the issue of census, I support 100 per cent the youth being given a chance. I was also very worried. When such a matter is brought to the House, the way it was coming, and we make legislation on it, given that we are a House that protects everybody who is working and those who are not working, it needs a delicate balance. So, let us give those chances to the youth and we can also use our own influence within the constituencies ... view

• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wanted to support and congratulate the guidance you have given to the House, especially on the laws that concern land that was about to be put to question. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I was here partly yesterday and I saw the way Hon. Members were discussing this Question. I noticed that there is much research because a lot of land issues, apart from being emotive, are composite in nature. One issue leads to another. I heard Members say that even if you occupy land and live there for a while but you do not have a title deed, you can just be moved from that land. The land question concerns so many issues, such as who occupied it first. There are issues that concern the length of time people have been living ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: In conclusion, this is a wake-up call by you to the House and the Committees, and especially the Chairmen and the clerks; that Parliament is on focus currently and every Kenyan is watching what we are doing. Therefore, we need to do everything in a way that is extremely concreate so that it cannot be doubted at any given time. So, I congratulate that ruling. view

• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to add my voice to the fact that the NG-CDF has done very well. I commend the Committee for the good work. The main challenge we are facing is that the NG-CDF has become a mainstream thing in the constituencies. The expectations of Kenyans are very regular. So, the remaining disbursements really need to be brought to the constituencies. When it is time for bursaries, they expect the money. They live with it as part and parcel of their money and the Kenyan Budget wholesomely. That is what I wanted to put across. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this chance to make a contribution. I think the situation we are operating in is simply as a result of the Senate being a baby that has been unable to move as earlier speakers have referred to it. Article 93 establishes Parliament of Kenya. Where the challenge is coming is that the Senate has misunderstood their role and wordings in the Constitution. In Kenya we have a Parliament which is bicameral, so there are two Houses. We have the National Assembly and the Senate. The word “Parliament” in the Kenyan situation can be ... view
