• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate. One of the interventions that have been spoken about is a vacuum solar water desalination plant along Athi River. We all know that at the baseline of ensuring that we resolve the drought issues is availability of water. Secondly, we have hydroponic method of growing plants, where you grow plants from pumice soil. These are some of the interventions that we should dare to make if we want to have permanent solutions for our people, who cover about 42.7 per cent in all the counties in the country. With those remarks, I submit. ... view
• 12 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. I am a young lady, nominated by the Orange Democratic Movement party. I am from Garissa County, specifically Ijara Sub-County in Hulugho, which borders Somalia to the south. We constantly hear about drought but we have not found a solution to date. Is it because we do not have the funds or is it because we are yet to come up with strategies and proper solutions? Kenya is a natural resource-based economy, meaning we are completely at the mercy of rains to direct how we feed ourselves. In that case ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me start by congratulating you for being elected as the Deputy Speaker of this House. Last time I made my contribution, I congratulated the Speaker, but I had not congratulated you. I have no doubt that you will lead this House to conduct its affairs diligently and objectively. I also hope that the four Members who are going to constitute the Speaker’s Panel will be Members who possess experience and ability to help you run the House. Having said that, Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to make my contributions to the Speech ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the President is taking over a country that is divided right down in the middle; a country where 50 per cent voted for him and another near 50 per cent did not vote for him. This is a country that requires a real symbol of national unity. I am happy that the President indicated in his Speech that he is going to run a united country. He also said that service delivery is going to be given to all Kenyans in equal measure, regardless of where one voted, because we are all taxpayers. That is something that ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, public appointments, including positions of Principal Secretaries (PSs) belong to all Kenyans. Those are positions in the Public and Civil Service, and they are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: not supposed to be used as a reward for political support. They belong to all of us, whether one voted for Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya Alliance or Kenya Kwanza. How I wish that the Deputy President understood that. So, we expect the Public Service Commission (PSC) to be impartial, and not to be a victim of state capture. Having said that, something that worries me a lot is that however short or brief the Speech of the President was, I expected it to at least have a line on devolution. If the President could remember the National Government ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Devolution is the one thing that has changed the architecture of governance in this country since 2013. This is something that should always find space in the Speech of a President of the Republic of Kenya. I assume it could be because he was summarising his Speech, which is why he probably left it out among the very many volumes that I saw he did not read. I could see that the President read a portion of his Speech and decided to leave out others. Being an intelligent man, he must have summarised it in a way that we could ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: The President talked a lot about the economy in his short Speech, and even proposed that he will start by cutting our budget by about Ksh300 billion. I thought that was a bit ambitious, but I am waiting to see, through the Supplementary Budget, what the National Treasury has for us to actualise the pronouncements by the President. However, I do not think the solution is on the quantum of the Budget as such, or the cutting down of it. I think we should focus, as a country, on misuse of resources, governance issues and fiscal discipline; what you could ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to advise the Executive – that is if they can take my advice – that time is running out and that the honeymoon is over. Today is exactly 30 days since they were sworn into office, yet the Deputy President is still talking as if he does not believe. If you do not believe, yet Kenyans are expecting service delivery, do you want us to believe? Please believe and start delivering services. We want the cost of living as well as price of fuel to come down. Do not talk about the Ukraine-Russia war now. ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: The President has already sold himself internationally as a Kenyan leader. Therefore, we want him here back home. Very soon, we are going to give you your Cabinet. Once you have the Cabinet, please perform. Kenyans do not want any more waste of time, because the economy is down, and that is a fact. However, we will support you to make sure that this economy is resuscitated only with good policies. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker.
