• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the adoption of this Sessional Paper on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity. As I stand, I want to acknowledge that this country has made progress. Sometimes we blame ourselves too much. Sometimes we need to look around and see what our neighbours are going through. One of the challenges that we currently have is the fact that when we adopted the new Constitution, some of our colleagues around the country thought that we created 47 states. They started equating this country to what they hear about the United States of ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: see the badness that we have created and they will want this country to join the rest of the East African countries to make a federation. We will have a bigger country and economy. We have been engaged in very small things instead of looking at the bigger picture. We should make this country a leader in regional economy and help other countries around us to move forward. As we create the opportunities, my emphasis is that we make sure that opportunities are given to every Kenyan. In fairness, it is true some areas in this country started well, but ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to comment on the amendment and acknowledge the students of Kinyogori Secondary School who are with us today. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: When we talk about facilities like ICU and blood transfusion units, we are talking about saving lives. For me and the people who live along the highways, the facilities required to save lives are not adequate. They cannot be located on the basis of counties or constituencies. We need to look into a way of strategically locating these facilities so that we can reach many people. I personally support the earlier Motion. So, I would like to oppose this one because, as you know, the Government has already invested in two hospitals in each county and they are elevating them ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I truly take note of what my colleague, Hon. Mbadi, has said. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: In conclusion, these facilities are important to every Kenyan. I would not like to restrict them to the county level. I would like them spread out to make them accessible to as many Kenyans as possible. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I oppose the amendment. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the 19th Report of the Public Investments Committee (PIC). I want to share some of the experiences that the PIC has gone through while looking at the accounts of the 72 companies that the Government has invested in heavily. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We have seen that there has been wastage in most of the parastatals and lack of planning. We have also experienced opportunities where people looted money and we have not followed up on embezzlement of public funds. I want to thank the President for making it possible for us to save some parastatals which are so crucial to the economy of this nation. At the age of 18 years, I had the opportunity to be recruited into Mumias Sugar Company, where I was trained before I went to the university and during the time that I was in the university. ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: It is my hope that Members will read and reflect on the recommendations that the reports have carried. It is important that we make ourselves aware of how as a nation, we are faring on, with public investments. view
