• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: roundabouts. When the Grand Coalition Government came into power five years ago, there was the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan which reduced the size of the roundabouts with the hope that the traffic jam could be opened up. But you will appreciate that today we still have the same nightmare. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to remove the roundabouts, particularly the notorious Uhuru Highway roundabouts by introducing flyovers strategically to replace those roundabouts. In London, for example, I am told they were introduced so that when you got lost you go round until you get your bearing. But here we ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is time that we looked at our policies. We need very bold people like the late hon. Michuki. All of us have that capacity if we decide to do so. It takes the leadership from the top to say a decree has been issued, and people must implement the rules as required. These vehicles that you have noted at night and even during the day that are used to tow vehicles that break down, I keep seeing them around the roundabouts. Why are they anticipating problems? They are waiting for accidents to happen. Humanly speaking, when ... view

• 3 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion that has been moved by my neighbour and brother, Sen. Munyes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before 1982 when this plant was introduced with the sole purpose of remedying the people, there were human beings who were living in Turkana, but it has now turned to be a nightmare, as was displayed almost four years ago. A living goat was brought all the way to Nairobi from Marigat, the belt of the area. This plant was also introduced in Baringo County, which neighbours Turkana County. What we saw was not very ... view
