• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: 30th June every year. It is going to start this year. We all know the implications of the Finance Bill. It will either impose extra burden on the people of Kenya or reduce their burden. However, it can reduce the burden with an intended repercussion of breaking the economy. So, we have to be very careful. Many a times, Kenyans have been blaming this House, especially on the Finance Bill. They say that we have passed the Finance Bill without giving it due consideration. How I wish we could engage our minds to it this time, especially now that we ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I thank you for, at least, allowing me to listen to contributions by a few Members, especially, Hon. Jaldessa’s contribution had statistics and figures. I was not aware that a locust has the capacity to eat what a normal person eats. I do not know the definition of a normal and an abnormal person. However, she was very clear and eloquent. I probably do not agree with her that there should be equity in locust invasion. What I expect is eradication of the locust invasion The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: in the entire region and not in Kenya alone. We have to admit that this is a regional problem. The locusts came from the north and obviously northern Kenya was the first target because of its proximity to the northern countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia and others. However, we must admit that now we have a problem in our hands and this problem may not be as small as we may think. Those who are studying the happenings in the environment are saying that we have already started spotting butterflies. This is an indication of possible army worm invasion in ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The Mover of the Motion said that this could be the worst locust invasion in about 70 years. In fact, the history I have is that it happened around 1933. That is when my mother was born and she was named after locusts. That is how I got to know about it. That was the time this country ever experienced a locust invasion. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a country, we need to devote resources to managing such calamities. Otherwise, it is going to be catastrophic to us and to our neighbours. The locusts will shortly be invading Uganda and Tanzania and before we know it, the whole of Africa south of the Sahara will be invaded. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I am not superstitious. I am more religious. I must say that it is biblical that a locust invasion always sends a very strong and powerful message. As a country which has been invaded, I do not want to think about other countries, we need to ask ourselves how come this region, this part of the world that has been very habitable and very conducive in terms of weather, is now being subjected to some natural calamities that have been affecting other parts of the world? We received excess rainfall at a time we never expected rainfall at all, and ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Right now, it is fraudsters running for protection. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I even had a problem knowing which is the “afisi ya pili”. Where is it? Is it in her constituency? Which is this second office? I was just saying that, as a country, we are allowing certain things that are imaginable - things that cannot be imagined to happen. That is probably connected to the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: calamities we are going through. Who would imagine fraudsters would have the confidence to go to the Office of the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya and carry out their activities from there? The worst that can happen is terrorists going to that office for protection. It started with corrupt individuals, like the former Governor of Kiambu, going to that office for protection. Fraudsters have now gone to that office for protection. view
• 13 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I second this Motion, Hon. Members will realise that this is a Committee that is chaired by the Speaker. It arranges the programmes and business of the House. That is why immediately after this Motion, we will adjourn to the next sitting day because we do not have business to transact. view
