• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Irungu Kang’ata for donating a minute to me and for bringing this Bill to amend the HELB Act. It is very important that all the stakeholders be involved in the management of issues that appertain to them. The student leadership and representation in this Board is of paramount importance. However, the method of how we nominate them to the Board has to be discussed and regulated. My proposal, as we will be putting it in the Third Reading is that we have a council of university students leaders to ... view

• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It may not be in order for the Chairman to drop it given that this amendment says “may”.

• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Petition raised by hon. Birdi. It is true that our weighbridge stations are havens of corruption and congestion. Motorists and truck drivers waste a lot of time. The Gilgil weighbridge is notorious. At times, the hon. Members who go to Nakuru and western Kenya witness the snarl-ups, which cost drivers in excess of four hours. As an economy, we cannot afford to have someone who is going to undertake some business spend four hours in a traffic snarl-up. I wonder why adequate measures have not been put in place to ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: seems to have taken any action. We have seen some effort towards ensuring that the land around there is protected. However, what we should do at this point in time is to ensure that our people, goods and services move faster. As has been said, corruption can be eliminated purely by automation. Can we have automatic machines? Can we have proper widening of our roads so that traffic moves faster? The officers there should also be properly facilitated so that there can be transparency.

• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I want to support the Bill. Audit, as a post mortem exercise, should actually tell us what happened or what did not happen. In this case, we are talking about public funds and what happened to public funds that are hard earned by Kenyans. These are funds raised by the Government through taxation or from loans acquired by the Government on behalf of Kenyans. Such loans are to be paid by the current or future generations of Kenyans. Therefore, the fact that expenditure of such funds ought to be ... view
