• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join my brother Hon. Mwadeghu to 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
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: condole with the family, friends and the country for the passing on of Sen. Juma Boy Juma. He is somebody I knew closely and for a very long time. Though I came to Parliament in 2013, I have been in active politics since 2001. Many times I interacted with him, especially when I was in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in 2007. Then, I was a very active and serious member of that party. I interacted with him a lot. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Before the elections, he had an opportunity of coming to my constituency while I was launching my campaign to vie for the Kilgoris Constituency and also when I was contesting for Emurua Dikkir Constituency. He was a brother to me and I learnt a lot from him. This country has lost a serious personality, one who shaped so many people’s lives. He always spoke the truth; he stood out as one who can be emulated. This is a man who fought for this country. He joined others in shaping the politics and the political future of this country. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: At this moment, we know the people of Kwale have lost a very important leader and a Senator who represented them well even as they face a lot of political turmoil. Sen. Juma Boy would have helped shape the direction the people of Kwale would take. As we speak, there are so many busy bodies doing forays in Kwale County trying to convince people to move in a certain direction, which in their opinion may not be the best direction to take. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: However, I urge the people of Kwale to stand firm. They should emulate the position and direction which Senator Juma Boy took. I condole with them and may his soul rest in eternal peace. I thank you. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Before I make my comments, I would wish to condole with the families of those who lost their loved ones in Somalia. Lives were lost carelessly and unnecessarily. This is my first day in Parliament after some time when several things happened in this country. Though they are defending our country, I think they have outlived their usefulness in Somalia. They should be defending our country at the borders. Countries are withdrawing their armies from such countries, like the US and all those superpowers. Our soldiers need not die outside our country. I wish also ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: which is supposed to benefit from the Equalisation Fund but to date, we have not received a single cent of that money. Who is spending the Equalisation Fund money? If this money has not been spent, why is it lying in the national coffers while the particular counties that are supposed to benefit continue to suffer? Narok, Turkana, Wajir and Garisa counties are suffering. Sometimes I wonder because among the people who are supposed to benefit from this money is the Leader of the Majority Party. I do not know if he is so selfish that he only looks at ... view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to express my support of this Bill. From the outset, like most of the Members of this House, I oppose this Bill. I oppose it because of several reasons. Like everybody knows, this House is vested with the powers to legislate, play oversight role and to represent the people of this Republic. When you decide to erode any of those three areas in which we are vested with powers by the Constitution, then you are eroding the Constitution. As Members of this House and, especially those who belong to ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country is turning into a man eat man society. We must prevent that as Members of Parliament. I urge my dear friends to oppose this Bill so that we do not allow the Government to auction the country to either rich citizens or outsiders. The next thing you will hear is that they are privatising some parastatals and selling them to the Chinese. You will be shocked. view
