• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. Without repeating what my colleagues have recommended, I would like to start by saying that I support these amendments. I know that the Kenya Defence Forces is a very important organ in our country and even as we propose various amendments, it is important that we make sure the amendments provide a smooth and effective way of giving our commands. We must note that we cannot allow ourselves to be naïve particularly with the challenges that are occurring around the world. We know there conventional and non-conventional challenges which ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. One of the key things that I would like to emphasise here is that even as we discuss the KDF role, I would recommend that we also allow them to be involved in research, production and training in relevant areas where they have interest. We know that in many countries industrialisation has been pushed by the military. We should also provide our KDF with opportunities to ensure that in areas where they have interest, they can be involved, particularly in maintaining critical infrastructure in the country. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We know that the KDF has interest in water, air and land. It is important, as a developing country we make sure we also provide a way where, if they so wish, they can develop their own ammunitions so that this country does not have to depend entirely on foreign supply. view

• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the Motion for approval of financing for the development of the Second Container Terminal, Phase II. I happen to have come from Japan last week where I had a chance to visit the Port of Yokohama. The Japanese have reclaimed the sea to add to their capacity within the port. I also visited Dubai, where I saw what they are doing to their port. The effort of developing the Port of Mombasa has been systematic. We have been dredging the Port of Mombasa to enable bigger ships ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: There are more benefits for allowing KPA to complete this project than denying them the money they require to complete it. I am also aware that we need to improve Mombasa. The tourism industry has not been doing well and Mombasa needs the support of all of us. With those remarks, I support. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity. I rise to support the nomination of these Kenyans who are going to contribute to the development of this nation. I know that they are very hard working. I personally know Sammy Itemere, Victor Kyalo and Andrew Kamau as professionals who are dedicated to whatever they undertake to do. I know that at this time in this country, they are people who will take this country to another level. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I recognise the fact that all these people listed here are important for purpose of good physical planning. However, one profession that is missing out is a representative of engineers society. My request to the Chairperson is that we can consider having a nominee from the institution of engineers of Kenya. view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not protecting my profession but there are key professions which are involved in physical planning unlike the architects, survey and planners. It is important to be specific. The Director-General could designate another lawyer to represent him. view
