• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for coming up with this Motion. Kenya, like any other nation in the world, is facing tough times. We all know that managing and controlling this pandemic is not easy. We are working hard, but this is a pandemic and not an epidemic. We are confronted with a number of challenges which we must deal with. There is the health crisis, which we are all aware of. We also have issues of social intervention and humanitarian issues, but above all, ... view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: roads. We can live without roads as we eat. Right now what Kenyans are concerned about is food to eat. So, we must provide funds for our people to eat. In every constituency, those who live below the poverty line must get Government funding to be able to eat. By the way, the figures are there. If you come to my constituency, you will find that they are numbering about 6,000 households. If you extrapolate that to the whole country, it comes to between 1.8 million and 2 million households. A household averages six people. Feeding these people for four ... view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: No, I have 10 minutes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thought that is something we discussed. I think it was a mistake and the Clerks-at-the-Table know that we agreed that I have 10 minutes. Please, do not take away my 10 minutes. I am speaking as the Leader of the Minority Party, and that voice must be heard. view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I am also the Chairman of one of the most serious parties in the country. Let me just touch on the three last issues. On the economic issue, I have talked about the livelihood of our people. I am talking about businesses. We must create an economic stimulus to help the small and medium enterprises. I have talked about food, but let me put it this way. Kenya is a net importer of food. At this time, every country is struggling to survive. What strategy does the Government have in the event that the countries which give us food decide ... view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you. Let me conclude because I think I have said the bit that I wanted to say. I want to just touch on the two last issues. One is the financial sector, which is likely to face distress. The Government must come up with a strategy to ensure that the financial sector does not come down in terms of financial distress. We must also ensure that the Government does not get into financial distress. Interestingly, even after what I said about the Budget Estimates, even though the Government is not providing funds to respond to COVID-19, you still find ... view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my point of order is that if a Motion is framed in English, moved and seconded in English, how can an amendment to the Motion be moved in Kiswahili? How would it fit even if he had moved the amendment? I heard him speak in Kiswahili throughout. We do not mind him speaking in Kiswahili, but he should move the amendment in English then contribute in Kiswahili. view
• 4 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a decision that was taken by the PG and now that it has been publicly mentioned that I am the one who has not signed, it may be misunderstood that I am trying to protect Hon. Chris Wamalwa to remain in office and you know the reparation of that. view
• 4 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I am a very loyal and faithful servant to my party and my party leader. I have been a bit engaged in budgetary matters and issues of House business, but immediately after this, that letter will be with you before 5.00 p.m. So, you will make the communication. I know Hon. Chris Wamalwa does not have an office, but he has an official car. I wish he stops using it from today. Hon. Chris Wamalwa is a good friend of mine and since we are going to be in the Council of Governors (CoG) together, I may need his vote ... view
