• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I would like to thank the Ad-Hoc Committee led by Hon. Limo for what they have done.

• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I was not referring to any Hon. Member. I apologise and withdraw the statement. However, I was trying to say that it makes no sense for us to budget for the process and drugs, yet we have left the nurses outside the Budget. For that particular matter, our work here will be affected because we have not treated the problem that is facing the health sector in this nation.

• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was trying to say that the money allocated for the IEBC is little compared to the enormous work that is ahead of it.

• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me inform my fellow hon. Member that this is a national project. It is not a county government project. It was launched by His Excellency the President.

I am talking about the national Budget and not the county budget. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue of education, every presidential aspirant promised to give free education to Kenyans. Now we cannot say that this money has ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Let us have equal distribution of development, be they Opposition or Jubilee areas. Finally, the Right Hon. Raila Odinga is a man who can take care of himself for the rest of his life. The money you have allocated here is for the poor. Therefore, people should not bring the name of Raila here. view
