• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I support this Bill because it seeks to distinguish the management of the existing libraries. It is giving the existing libraries and those that will be formed a management team to look into their needs. Remember we have national libraries in the counties and cities. The problem in the counties is that most libraries are not properly equipped, funded and managed. I hope the Kenya National Library Service Board will ensure that existing libraries are properly managed and funded, so that our learners visit those places and find materials they want. view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I also support the fact that in most counties, we have one or two libraries. We need to create a situation where at least in every sub-county, we have one or two libraries. The reason being we have many learners in our primary and secondary schools and universities. When students go on vacation, they want to have places to study, research and discuss. At the moment, this is hard because most learners cannot borrow books from their universities. They can borrow one or two based on the limits of the library cards. But when they come for long holidays especially ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: We need to devolve archives to libraries so that it is easy to access information about our great forefathers. I believe almost all of us have a background. If you want to access who did what or founded what, you can only find this in archives which are hard to come by. If we have libraries in our local areas and sub-counties, even those who want to write their biographies and background information about their local areas will have access to materials and write books that can be kept in the libraries. Lastly, I support this Bill. I believe the ... view

• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to remember three great men we lost in the last one week. Last time I talked about the great Chief Secretary, Hon. Nyachae, I only forgot to mention that he paid my fees of Kshs300,000 when I was going abroad. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: 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
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I was not related to him, I had no serious connection with him, but he felt that I should be given a chance like any other person from a poor family. I will forever be grateful. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: As for the Provincial Commissioner, Senator Yusuf Haji, he was the greatest PC ever in the Rift Valley. The Rift Valley is a cosmopolitan province and has had several issues ranging from land to clashes. Yusuf Haji stood firm. He was a very firm administrator. He is the only person who brought the Rift Valley under one roof and I think, the only person who administered peace in the Rift Valley. I have always tried to talk to the Regional Commissioner there now to emulate Hon. Haji. He came from a small community, but he never looked down upon other ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to oppose the Bill. No one in his sane mind can pass such a law in this century. I am even wondering about the people who actually proposed this amendment. We are in the 21st Century. Some of us believe that… view
