• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion that was moved by Hon. Martin Owino, the Member for Ndhiwa. I must say that it is a shame that we are still talking about many Kenyans dying and suffering because of drought, hunger and famine in the 21st Century. It was a shame yesterday when I saw the leadership of this country say that no one has died as a result of drought. That is a big lie. If you see pictures from these counties, it leaves no doubt that Kenyans are dying. ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: If we have responsible leadership, we need to own up and apologise that we have failed in our responsibility as leaders. We started talking about food security in this country very many years ago. A lot of money has been invested in food security. Remember the case of Galana Kulalu Irrigation project. We have white collar murderers in this country right from the national Government to the county governments. Money is allocated to irrigation projects, but individuals take it and put it in their pockets and develop private property. Individuals also embezzle billions of shillings, which are allocated to construct ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, take the case of the counties that are affected. They are the same counties which we allocate a lot of money every financial year. Take the example of Turkana County which we allocate Kshs11 billion per year. I saw the Governor of Turkana County last evening on television. He was not even ashamed to appear there and tell us that he is not able to supply his people water. What is this nonsense that we see in the counties? Out of Kshs11 billion, you can take Ksh2 billion to provide water to the people. What is ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The Deputy President, with all due respect, should apologise to Kenyans and tell us what the Government intends to do to provide food in this country. It is not a question of appearing on television and telling us that the Government is in control. What is it in control of? How can you be control when people are dying? You are not in control. You lost control way back. Admit it, apologise and tell us what you intend to do. We must have accountability for leadership. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified ... view

• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a House of records and facts. Hon. Junet has told us that we only got seven bags from Galana Kulalu although--- When you say we have spent Kshs7 billion, and that each bag is Kshs1 billion, it means we only got a total of seven bags from Galana Kulalu. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, obviously, I cannot challenge your ruling. Having listened to your ruling, and considering what was in the Report, if it was a human being, I would have said that the heart, kidney and liver have been removed. The Report is basically a skeleton. I was just wondering if we can ask the Chair to withdraw it and go and reconstruct it; do some surgery. I do not think it is going to be of value for the House to debate it because the whole Report is now mutilated. I request the Chair of the Committee to withdraw the ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to make my contribution to these Petitions, especially the first one by Hon. Mbui regarding issues of amounts advanced to schools to take care of co-curricular activities. Co-curricular activities are very important for the development of our children. If we have, as a country, decided that we want to give our children either free primary education or subsidised secondary education, we must invest in that education. We should not play PR with education. Many Members will agree that a lot of times Members of Parliament become donors when our children are going ... view
