• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sorry. If you look at the way some communities have occupied almost all the senior positions in some State corporations, you wonder why other Kenyans have been left out. How do you expect other Kenyans to behave when not even a single member of their community has been appointed to head a parastatal despite the fact that they also pay taxes? These are the things that make us feel bad. At times I feel unhappy when my county is completely excluded from running parastatals despite the fact that we are citizens of this country. ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for allowing me to speak to this issue brought by the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Aden Duale. It is saddening to hear that a very huge profit-making institution like KQ is on its knees, especially because of corruption. Whenever I look at parastatals that have collapsed in this country because of corruption, I am saddened. Even though we condemn the people who have contributed to the collapse of these parastatals, we are still not able to see any hope in this country. Look at how the Leader of the Majority Party articulated today the ... view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: man is mad and yet they are both mad. When you hear somebody trying to expose serious scandals and shouting a lot about it and yet they have been named in several scandals, it is sad. How I wish this House could speak and walk the talk. We have so many scandals in this country like the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), Uchumi Supermarket, Mumias Sugar Company and Triton. Forget past ones like the Anglo- Leasing. Those are old scandals and even if we tried to trace them, we would not get anywhere because they ... view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to the Motion. At the outset, I would like to state clearly that I support it. I support it because this is a new dawn in our bilateral relations and trade with the EU. The Agreement states clearly that for a long time, four countries that form the East African Community (EAC) have never had a serious agreement with the European Union (EU). So, for trade that is usually done, most of the previous agreements are majorly between countries and the EU. This time round, when we combine the EAC and ... view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: products. This Agreement will allow us to have good trading relations. The issue of non- reciprocal preference trade regime, which has been in place, has not been favourable to our country, but with these new changes, we are going to have good trading opportunities with those countries. We must remember that the problem that has been bedeviling this country in matters of trade has been high tariffs which this Agreement will lower and thus allow us to have serious benefits. With regard to access to the EU markets, our countries are under-developed and we cannot compete with developed countries. This ... view
• 20 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: materials. They have simplified the rule for our countries, so that it does not matter the source of the materials as long as we are the ones who make the products. With those few remarks, I support this proposal. I support this Report especially the penalties which have been placed and the imports which will be allowed. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, Mhe. Spika kwa kunipa nafasi hii kuchangia Mswada huu. Ningependa kupinga Mswada huu. Tumefanya raia wa Kenya kuwa maskini kupitia sheria tunazozipitisha hapa. Tumeruhusu watu katika ofisi za Serikali kuiba pesa ili kupeleka kwenye harambee . Hivi sasa, hawana pesa ya kupeleka watoto wao shuleni ilhali tunaunda sheria ya kutukataza kuwasaidia. Mhe. Spika, hii ni sheria ambayo Nyumba hii haitakikani kukubali iundwe. Hii sheria tunaunda hapa haifai kuundwa hata na Wawakilishi wa Wadi. Nikuulize Mhe. Spika, mtu ambaye anajifanya ana pesa na anajua raia huko nyumbani wana shida, anaundaje sheria hii? Siwezi kusema napeana pesa kila wakati. Hata ... view

• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Mhe. Spika, unajua raia wako na shida nyingi sana. Ukisoma jumbe tulizonazo kwa simu, utapata mtu anakuambiaz: “Mtoto wangu yuko hospitalini.” Mwingine anakuambia: “Kuna maiti imekawia kutolewa huko mochari iletwe nyumbani.” Hawana pesa. Mwingine anakuambia: “Mtoto wangu amefukuzwa kwa shule. Hana pesa.” Mwingine anakuambia: “Bw. Spika, wajua sisi hatuna hizo shida kwa sababu tunapata pesa.” Kwa nini tunataka kuwa watu ambao hawataki kusaidiana na wengine? Kwa nini tunakuwa wachoyo hadi kutoa ile kandururu kadogo tunako ndio watu wengine wajimudu ni vigumu? Nilifikiria ninatoka familia ya matajiri, nikiwa kijana mdogo. Lakini ikafika wakati nilikuwa nataka niende ng'ambo kusoma. Wacha nikuambie! Watu ... view
