• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to congratulate Eliud Kipchoge. He has done us great. He has done this country proud. He has run the race of his life. For a long time, this country will always look upon such athletes to give us the performance that we want. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are so many youths in this country who can run and break records but they are not doing so because of the way we do things in this country, and particularly because we put money in the wrong places. The whole world knows that Kenya is an athletic nation. We were competing at the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in the last two weeks, where Kenya was number two among all the nations of the world. It was only beaten by the United States of America because of the variety of activities that the ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us put money in athletics, Rugby and other activities that we know can get us to where we are supposed to be. I also wish to congratulate Brigid for her superb performance. I also congratulate all the men and women who participated in the IAAF athletics event. I also congratulate the many other heroes and heroines of this country who not many people recognise. It was only after the world recognised a lady called Prof. Wangare Maathai that we also started to recognise her. Before then, we used to beat her up at Uhuru Park. ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I also wish to mourn with our brothers who lost their lives in Garissa. We put billions of shillings into the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and the National Intelligence Services (NIS). In many countries, you cannot send your soldiers to use roads when you know they are dangerous. How many soldiers have died because of IEDs? Those are matters that can be detected. Why can we not send detecting machines first before our people die? view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Many people die because of our carelessness. People in our country are careless. It is same case with the lady who drowned with her daughter. That car floated on the ocean for almost 20 minutes before it sank. People were just screaming and looking. Policemen and divers were there. When you look at all those incidents, you are left wondering what kind of a country we are. God blessed us with so many talents, but we are just dumb people who cannot get things correct. Look at the public appointments being made. We are waiting for Mashujaa Day. You will ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: the other week. They appointed over 70-year old people while we have youths who are rotting in the villages. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I was thinking that the presidency has been occupied by youthful people, but what they are doing is disappointing. Otherwise, I congratulate our great people who have made this country great. Although some of us are pulling them down, we still need to congratulate them. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know that time is not on our side. I wish to make a simple contribution on this matter. I wish to state categorically that I oppose this Bill. The major reason is that we have enough laws in this country, including the Constitution that allows corruption to be fought in all corners. I say that because if you look at Chapter Six of the Constitution, it talks about integrity and holders of offices who are either State officers or public officers. This is a clear indication that the drafters of the Constitution wanted ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for that tickling statement. I think I am old and of course you know that matter has taken a long time. view
