• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. On behalf of the people of Tigania West, myself and family, I also wish to register my very sincere condolences to the family of the late Hon. Murunga. I got to know Hon. Murunga when we joined Parliament during this Session. He was my very close friend. We attended the gym together and he was very punctual. He used to tell me it was the best thing that ever happened in his life to be around here. I also managed to share moments with Hon. Murunga in the same Departmental Committee of Agriculture ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Committee, supported the discussions and enabled us realise those things that we needed to realise in order to make progress. To Hon. Murunga’s family, I register my condolences and pray that the Almighty God rests his soul in eternal peace. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My Question is directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works. (i) Could the Ministry consider reconstructing the section of Kirindine–Miathene Road in Tigania West Constituency which is currently in deplorable state despite being constructed using Probase Technology as a pilot project? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why the contractors, M/s Double X and Gantt Construction companies have delayed completion of the project, having constructed only about 15 per cent of their respective 2 Kilometers sections of the Miathene -Mikinduri Road, over a period of 3 years? (iii) When ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this particular Report of the Committee and also to support the fact that these Regulations should be annulled. We know the importance of special economic zones in this country, especially when it comes to industrial development and also market for our produce; whereby we are mainly an agricultural country. Freedom of access should be unlimited. No Kenyan should be barred from passing through or entering some of these areas. So, I find the Regulations quite limiting and in breach of the Constitution, where they will limit ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to make a comment on this issue. When we request for Statements in this House, we would like the truth to come out and facts laid out as it were. This Statement addresses the day after the occurrence. It is not addressing the day of the event itself. It means the answer is as misplaced as it is immaterial. It is very important for us to realise that we have a Constitution which prioritises the power of the people. Article 35 that he has quoted gives people the right to get the ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support it. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I remember sometime back in this House, we discussed a Motion on establishment of civil registries in all the sub-counties in Kenya. That would have made it easier for our people to access registration. Right now, it is very difficult for parents to have their children registered or get birth certificates. Some of them have to travel long distances and congest civil registries. For example, my people of Tigania West have to go to Maua, which is about 35 kilometres away. They also meet many other people from four or five sub-counties seeking registration. This becomes a major issue because ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: It is easy to consolidate information from the birth place to civil registries as intimated in this Motion. It is possible to get this data because most births these days occur in hospitals and those that do not, are registered at the nearest hospital because the mother and the infant will require some medical attention. So, it is possible to have this data captured and relayed almost 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
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: immediately. Therefore, it is possible to update the data. Establishment of data centres is very key because it will not only help people to avoid wasting time travelling long distances, but will also help them to source for such information. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I would like to allude to another point where we have people who probably may not be willing to give information, or their identity cards, as intimated by the Mover. Where people are not together at the point of birth of a child - where the father is not with the mother - it becomes very difficult, depending on the circumstances under which they separated, and therefore mothers suffer a lot. Therefore, if we have data captured from the hospital or from the place of birth, it will be easy to issue a birth certificate in such cases. People also ... view
