• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I also wish to congratulate the incoming Clerk, Mr. Sialai. The order we have in this House is you as the supreme president and your deputy as the Clerk of the National Assembly who serves under you and helps in putting this House in order. Just like my colleague has said, we have many brains which we waste. We made a visit sometime last week to the House of Lords and the House of Commons in the United Kingdom (UK). We learned that the House of Lords is the House which is, in one way or another, comparable to the ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to debate on this Presidential Address coined as ―The State of the Nation.‖ I would like to state that the President is a person who, if he was living in another country other than Kenya, we could say is the best President. The problem is that he comes from a background you cannot easily understand. There are very many things which the President should have touched on just like what my colleagues have said. There are very many things he touched on and there are many others that he never touched ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: today, almost three-quarter of Kenyans are illiterate. There are also too many sick people who cannot access medication. There are people here who are talking about free maternity, but I will not dwell on that very much because somebody once asked me why I keep talking about free maternity. I meet women in my constituency who cannot access the free maternity because there are no maternity wings. We are talking like we live in utopia. I do not know if the President understands this nation. Forget about the health issues; corruption has become a culture in this country. If you ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Another burning issue is security. As we stand here today, many Kenyans are dying and the circumstances surrounding those deaths are matters which the President of the nation can deal with. In the North Rift, there are killings in Baringo, Pokot, Trans Mara and several other areas. When Moi was the President of this nation, I was young, but I miss how he used to deal with things. The Deputy President went to Baringo and gave orders of shoot to kill without even understanding its dynamics. He was ordering the killing of the Pokot who are Kenyans. view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I thought they should have looked for eminent personalities from Pokot, Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet, held talks with them and get deep into the root cause of the problem so as to offer solutions. Kenyans are dying and no one understands what is going on. The matter of security pains me because as I speak today, there are too many people dying in Trans Mara and other counties. I wish the President addresses this issue of security urgently. view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: On the issue of economics, I did not study it but it was a unit in my masters coursework. I really do not see anything growing in this country. Everybody is broke in this country. The private sector and the Government are broke. I do not even understand how the elections will be held without money in people‘s pockets. How can we say the economy has grown? view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to second. I wish to thank you and the Mover of the Motion. In the process of inquiring into this matter, as a Committee, we took a lot of time listening to presentations made by witnesses who appeared before the Committee, especially on the issue concerning the KAA. In all the issues we looked into, we felt, as a Committee, that there are some issues which need to be seriously relooked into especially the matter that concerns the World Duty Free Limited, which is the House of Perfume. We found many issues which were not ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We also looked at how most of the tenders were awarded. We found out that there were some occasions where, in one way or another, when some leases had expired, ways of renewing them were not properly followed. We felt, as Members of the Committee, that this matter must be given further consideration. view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I do not want to delve much into the issues that have been raised by the Mover of the Motion, but I want to touch on a few issues and recommendations which we felt should be dealt with. One of the recommendations is that the EACC should investigate Ms. Lucy Mbugua, Mr. Victor Arika and all other present and past officials of KAA involved in designing and subsequent signing of a flawed contract agreement between KAA and WDF operators at JKIA and Moi International Airport. Those individuals have had rocky dealings at KAA. When you look at the dealings there, ... view
• 2 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: We recommend that the EACC should investigate thoroughly the individuals named in the Report. We also recommend that the EACC investigates the allocation of Duty Free Shops spaces at Terminal 1A to the World Duty Free Limited. This was allocated with total disregard of procurement laws and procedures. Most of the tenders which have had issues in this country are those that have been done in total disregard of the laws that govern the procurement process. view
