First, I need to congratulate the Committee because it has done a very good job. I wish all the Committees could follow suit. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party is making noise. I wish you could protect me. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The issue of land has not been easy. Taita Taveta is one of the counties that neighbours my constituency. I would request the Committee, as they look at implementation, and I am sure the Chairperson of the Committee on Implementation is in this House, that they also address the other issues of land. The issue of solving tribal conflicts is very welcome as conflicts breach people’s rights. Chapter 4 of the Constitution should help us get possible solutions. I remember the President came to this House and one of the issues on the first page of his manifesto was land ... view

• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in support of the approval of the Protocol on SGR, and the Report by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. Transport infrastructure in Africa is inadequate. It has a surface area of 30.2 square kilometres. Africa has only 89,390 kilometres of rail, 2.96 kilometres per 1,000 square kilometres. Compared with 60 kilometres per 1,000 square kilometres in Europe, the regional disparities are enormous. For that reason, I support the ratification of the Protocol on Development and Operation of SGR within the ... view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: going to enhance the transport network. As we sign Protocol, we are echoing the words of Nkrumah, who said that Africa must unite. Let me cite some of the advantages that we will get from the protocol. The railway will facilitate long distance travel and transport of goods.

The Northern Corridor is the transport corridor linking the land-locked countries of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi with Kenya’s maritime Port of Mombasa. Similarly, the Northern Corridor will serve the eastern ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment to Clause 3 as it seeks to widen the definition of ‘retired state officer’ to include those who were in office before 15th January, 2008.
