• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute. I support this Bill. It is well intentioned. We must take care of all The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Kenyans. We must pull up those areas which have been left behind. I have some parts of my constituency where our women folk have been given a mzigo by God and at the same time have to fetch water from below the hills. The hills are almost vertical and they carry that water on their heads while they carry the mizigo in front of them. It is really a very painful experience. However, I would want to support this Motion. I have been to some areas of this country where it takes you ten hours to traverse a 35 kilometre ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Actually, I would advise the Jubilee Government to look at these areas. If His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy Samoei Ruto were to launch a major road from Garissa to Mandera next week, Kenyans would look up to them as the people who are concerned about the far eastern areas of this country. If they would do a road from Laisamis to Loiyangalani to Lodwar, Kenyans would see them as people who are concerned about the welfare of all Kenyans. After that they can give me some 20 kilometres and give him some 30 kilometres. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must address the issue of water. As I told you, in my constituency, if a lady lives on Manga Hills she has to go and fetch water from a spring which is below it and Manga Hills is vertical. It is like climbing a mountain. If she is pregnant she has no choice but to carry the pregnancy and also the pot of water on her head. It is really terrible but it is worse where a lady must travel 50 kilometres to fetch water. So, we must address most of these issues. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: We must align it to the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). Let it be a model of distributing resources. I always jipigia kifua as one of the architects of the CDF. It was the brainchild of Eng. Karue and one, Jimmy Nuru Angwenyi. At that time, we did not know it would be very successful but I remember one remark that was made by the former President Kibaki as he was sitting out there; he said that he wished Kenyans had elected the two young men many years back because then it would have spurred Kenya’s development faster than it did ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I also wish that we had people like Lelelit 20 years ago. If they would have brought this kind of Bill at that time to assist our vulnerable or marginalised areas, Kenya would have developed in unison. I beg to support. view

• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a great day for me because we are going to admit one of the founding Members of Parliamentary Service Commission, hon. (Dr.) Abdulahi Ibrahim Ali. I will give a short history on how we came up with Parliamentary Service Commission. I remember we used to meet at the Japanese and German Embassies for two years without the Government knowing. Otherwise, they could have clobbered them. At that time, I was an Assistant Minister in the Office of the President and the President did not know that I was participating, together with hon. ... view
