• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: My point of order is on Petitions generally. view
• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for granting me this opportunity to contribute. There is a matter of concern that may require your intervention, in terms of giving direction regarding public Petitions. I am aware that Standing Order 208A gives the responsibility of public Petitions to the Public Petitions Committee. However, we need to be clear on the extent to which the public Petitions can be dealt with in a way that it does not interfere with the functions and responsibilities of other committees. I have a case in point. This is something that is of public information today. There was a ... view
• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Two, on a matter like this, before you investigate an expenditure, you need the office of the Auditor-General to audit it. If there is no audit by the office of the Auditor-General, how then do you proceed to investigate a matter? I really belaboured this point because I know chances are that politics may end up at play. As the Chair of PAC, I will be the last person to allow politics to cloud my work and responsibility. We run the risk of politicising a very serious matter of public expenditure, if we do not follow it methodically by allowing, ... view

• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. First, allow me to celebrate all the women in this country as we celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day. I also want to celebrate you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, because you are in the Chair today. I celebrate you as a young legislator who has made it to that level, and this is a clear indication that women have made remarkable strides in every scope of what they want to achieve. view
• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to celebrate the women teachers in this country. Having served as a teacher for many years, I celebrate the women teachers because of the enormous responsibilities that are bestowed upon them. I can see some of them in the House today, because they have nurtured all of us and enabled us to be where we are today. I celebrate teachers in a big way. view
• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Allow me also to celebrate our first lady, Her Excellency Mrs. Rachel Ruto, and the second lady Her Excellency Pastor (Dr) Dorcas Rigathi, who have been championing and devoting all their time to pray for this country. That is because all that we are planning to do, we cannot do without peace. I celebrate them among very many other women. Having said that, I want to support this Motion and add my voice to it as I thank Hon. Beatrice Elachi for coming up with this very important Motion, which is very timely. view
• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, in 1990 the EPZ was started by the then President of the Republic of Kenya. It is a long time now, and we would be expecting the EPZ to have spread to other parts of this country. However, I cannot underscore the fact that this programme has been steadfast, and it is still in operation since then. Having employed a total number of 60,000 Kenyans, we would say this is a huge employer, but a lot more can be achieved if we can be steadfast in ensuring that our country becomes an economic country that can provide ... view
• 8 Mar 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, we have been worrying so much day in, day out about the very many youth in this country who are not employed. Besides the white-collar jobs that we offer, we can create employment both informally and formally using the available channels that we have in this country. One of the ways is ensuring that we have investors coming to this country, ensure that we have factories and provide the locally available raw materials. If we can provide cotton from our farms, we will need to have more factories and employ our youth. view
