• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we are discussing a very important matter, but we are not properly constituted. We do not have the numbers. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to request for this Statement. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2) (c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding lack of policy or guidelines for candidates sitting for examinations on syllabus coverage and attendance to classes. Hon. Speaker, the Kenyan basic education system demands that all students who register for final examinations sit for the same examinations when it is scheduled. It is notable that no general or specific guidelines restricting registered candidates from sitting for such examinations for lack of proper ... view

• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I stand to support this Report. I have taken time to look at the Report and I would like to, first of all, ease the tension in the House by creating some level of comfort amongst the Members.

On the other hand, immediately this agreement is signed, the UK will have an opportunity to place 1,934 items or what we call “tariff lines” on the Kenyan market. I am aware of the fact that we can argue that, but we may or may not buy from them, and that we can buy from anywhere else.

• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we will, in 25 years, have an additional 990 items. What am I trying to say? I am saying that the treaty allows 4,006 items from the UK to land in our market duty-free in 25 years. I now want to point out a few implications of this scenario. One is that it is time for Kenya to wake up to the realities of development and organise itself to basically compete and to industrialise and start processing and producing for the market. Signing the EPA immediately will lead us into competition. Based on that, this wakeup ... view

I declare that the Njuri-Ncheke shrine is in my constituency. I was very happy to see the Njuri-Ncheke elders invite you. Most importantly, I would like to thank you for taking up the invitation. It is possible to be invited and then you do not go. view
