• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion. Thank you. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The first thing which delighted me about the court ruling is the recognition by the court that NG-CDF is doing a good job in this country. That alone taught Kenyans that despite the activism all over, NG-CDF is doing a good job. The role of MPs in this fund is totally zero because we only play an oversight role just like one of our legislative duties here in this Parliament. As much as activists and other Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) oppose this fund, the work it has done all over Kenya is good. It has equalised development ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to what Hon. Members have said. This is a wakeup call to our engineers that as they work on our roads, they must plan for the future. They must plan knowing that we have the disabled, children and emergencies in this country. We need to make it compulsory that even new upcoming roads within the highways and urban places have a service lane to serve the purpose that we are now talking about. We are growing. As Hon. Wamalwa said, even in our counties within the ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: an olive branch to other leaders and invite them for negotiations because this country is divided? We cannot ignore that fact. This country is on fire and we cannot ignore that. We need our President - as he spoke yesterday - to call other leaders to talk about this country. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to what Hon. Members have said. I have no doubt in the three Members that we have appointed. I know two of them and I believe that they are going to represent us well despite the fact that the Government side may dictate some terms. So, we want the Members to stand their ground to represent Members of Parliament in that committee. This is a noble job. To be called a Member of Parliament is noble. You represent the people and tackle issues that affect ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: ensure that the money that is given to public institutions is used well. However, when you leave this House, that honourable name becomes a curse in your life. You will not get a job anywhere. You become a threat to the public and the Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). You are dumped in the village. The pension that we are talking about here, I agree with the Members who have spoken that it is better to start with the first term. One spends a lot of money and even after five years, one cannot recover the money he or she used during ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to add my voice on this issue. This policy will guide mining in Kenya. As a country, we are good at making policies. The problem we have is implementation. We have many investors who have come to this country, trying to invest in mining. The problem we have is that the process of getting the 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
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: licences takes long. Now that we have this policy, we expect investors to go to any part of this country to invest in minerals because by doing so, they will create jobs for the people in that area, and the economy will improve. There are many minerals in this country. It is only that we have not exploited them to the level that is expected of a second world country. We have so many minerals in Turkana County such that if this policy is put to practice, the people of Turkana will improve their livelihoods as jobs will be created ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion since I come from a background of pastoralism. Pastoralism is an economic activity in my a[rea. Killing cows is reminiscent to destroying a 10-storey building. The economy of that particular tribe is down. It is like coming to Nairobi and destroying all the storey buildings. When you do that, you render the people poor in that area. Pastoralism is a lifestyle. We cannot live without pastoralism. When you want to marry, you have to give cows. When you want to initiate young men, you have to give cows. When you ... view
