• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Motion. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, which vet these two gentlemen. They exhibited great experience and knowledge on the services they are going to provide in the Ministries they are being proposed for appointment.

• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Dr. Muia has a PhD in Finance. He has been involved in the Vision 2030. This is the place he is going to use his knowledge and experience in coordinating the Ministries in the development of strategic planning which we need for this country to move on. Dr. Muia is a member of various organisations that deliver services to Kenyans and worldwide. I expect and very strongly believe, if we approve his appointment, and I hope he is appointed to this position, he will demonstrate to Kenyans that there are Kenyans who can deliver what we never expected to be ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to educate that Member. Parliament is a specific and independent institution. The Constitution says a one term of six years. Can you serve six years if you are a Member of Parliament? You cannot. So, let us not subject ourselves to other commissions and rules. Hon. Speaker, please advise our Members that we want Parliament to be independent and to operate within the law. And since we cannot serve for six years, you can serve two terms. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute on this important issue. Like Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal said, this Committee can make a difference in our health. Our gyms both for males and females are deteriorating at a very fast rate. I had been away from that gym until last Friday. When I went there I found that none of the machines is working. None of the treadmills is working. I went there because I want to reduce my stomach. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: To do that, I must walk on the treadmill or cycle but none of the equipment is working. So my health is endangered simply because we cannot provide adequate facilities in that gym. That equipment is not very costly. I do not see the reason we should repair them instead of replacing them with new equipment. The House is in charge of the Budget of the nation, why can we not budget to buy equipment in the gyms? view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I was coming to report to you this morning but I did not find any of our leaders in the House so I decided to stay in the House. I would have taken you there to go and see the exact condition of that gym. I saw you there about three years ago. That is the last time you came there. Please, visit there today and authorise the people who are concerned or call the outgoing Parliamentary Service Commission for our last act to authorise funds to replace the equipment. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: We also need to expand that facility. But I know that cannot be done until we complete the new building. It needs to be on top of the priorities to provide for the Members’ welfare in this Parliament. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: As Members have said, I went for lunch this afternoon and there was a queue. So, when I got to the food, I took too much because I did not want to come back because I might not have found food remaining. We should also have a new kitchen. The new one we have built should be utilised so that Members do not spend more than five minutes on the queue. They should also improve on the cooking. We have hired qualified people who can do it if we give them equipment and the correct food so that a mzee ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Motion. Housing in this country is a big issue. I believe that is why our President has identified housing as one item in his big four agenda. view
