• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, NIS is the security insurance of this country. I support the amount of money they have been given because I know they will use it well. We have been peaceful in this country courtesy of this department. They have been doing a good job. Let us encourage them and if they need more money, let them come to us. We will give it to them. I support. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The work of this Commission has fallen below par. However, we should encourage the Commission and give them guidelines. Maybe the Cabinet Secretary for that Ministry should give a guideline as to when they will issue titles to various counties in this country specially the Coast and in the northern parts so that people know whether the land belongs to them or not. This also goes for our institutions of learning. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Kiambu County. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is a superfluous Authority. We do not need it at all. There is nothing it does. Actually, it is better to improve the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) instead of this Authority. I therefore do not support this budgetary allocation for the IPOA. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Report. First, I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for having done so much work in such a short period. I would like Parliament to look at the Big Four Agenda: universal health, food security, manufacturing and housing. I hope in this Budget Estimates - I have not gone through it thoroughly - they have made sure that, at least, every county has got one of the pillars being implemented in that county such that we do not have few counties, say 12, receiving projects of ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The second thing, with the little economics I know, I am surprised that the Budget and Appropriations Committee can allocate funds to new projects and remove funds from projects which were there in the previous financial year. There is a road in my county which connects three constituencies. The road was advertised last three times and they kept saying that they could not get a qualified bidder although some of the bidders who were said not to be qualified were given jobs elsewhere. Now that road has not been allocated even a single cent. The Committee has approved allocation to ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: My colleague has just talked about national debt. We can incur national debt as long as we apply it appropriately, to make the economy of a country grow. When we seek international loan, we should seek it from a country like Japan where if we borrow from them, they pay us interest instead of borrowing from America where the more you borrow, the more interest you pay. China is like America. It is just Japan I know that has surplus funds and does not know where to invest. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We should look for ways of establishing incentives to attract investors to invest in Kenya. Let us borrow a leaf from Dubai or Singapore. All we need to do is to make our tax and investment laws attractive to potential investors because they are the only ones who can make our country develop economically. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Speech. I have been in Parliament for some time now. I have listened to presidential speeches in this Parliament. Yesterday’s Speech by His Excellency the President was one of the most positive statements ever made in this House. It was positive in the sense that the President sought to unite Kenyans so that my sister there cannot be told that she is not a Kikuyu. We are all Kenyans. I see you as a Kenyan. I do not see you as a Kisii, Kikuyu ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: their county and ethnicity. People who are in appointed positions believe that they have been appointed to make money and not to serve the people. In some areas of this country, if you are appointed to a very senior position, especially where you disburse resources and you retire while not very rich, people will say you are a fool. You were in that position for so long but you never made money. That means our culture encourages corruption. Unless we kill corruption and ethnicity, this country cannot move to the next level. Those are two issues. The other thing is ... view
