• 27 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to pass condolences on my behalf, my family and the great people of Kirinyaga Central to the family and friends of the late Hon. President Mwai Kibaki.

• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the circumstances under which 41 students who sat for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in 2012 at Sacred Heart Kangaita Secondary School in Kirinyaga Central Constituency were denied their certificates by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC)?

• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice in supporting the Motion and the Report by the Committee for the appointment of Elizabeth Wangui Muchiri. From the Report by the Committee, she is a lady of integrity. She has what it takes. She has all the qualifications which behoves the holder of such an office. More importantly, this is the right time to have a representative of the police service in the Commission. We are all aware what our police service is going through especially when it The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: comes to the issue of their salaries and their benefits vis-à-vis what other civil servants enjoy. We are aware that even in terms of their insurance, it is far much below compared to what other civil servants are getting. I believe Elizabeth will be represent the NPS effectively so that their benefits and remuneration is brought at par with the rest of the civil servants and also those psychological issues. We also know what is facing the police service. We should not delay even for a single minute for the police service to have their representative in the Commission who ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to add my voice to this Motion. From the outset, I strongly support it for the obvious reason that even the Biashara Kenya Fund Regulations were meant to collapse three existing funds, namely, the Youth Enterprise Fund, the Uwezo Fund and the Women Enterprise Fund. There was an argument that it was necessary to collapse them so that they can be managed efficiently, but we know that the Women Enterprise Fund, since its inception, has been managed very efficiently. We cannot punish it because the Uwezo Fund and the ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Most importantly, as Members of the Committee, we looked at our mandate and the most important one was public participation for purposes of enough consultations. It came out very clearly that there was not enough public participation because of the impact. The impact of these Regulations required extensive consultations with the affected people, especially women, youth and other stakeholders. So, on account of public participation alone, we were forced to annul the Regulations because without proper and efficient… view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was assuming I am in a safe distance. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I am guided. Thank you. Without sufficient public participation, the Committee did not have any option than to annul these Regulations. There was no regulatory impact assessment, which is a requirement. It is obvious that these Regulations would have a huge impact both cost-wise and impact-wise on the Women Enterprise Fund, the Uwezo Fund and the Youth Enterprise Fund. Without that report, the law is clear that we need to annul. That is the decision the Committee reached. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: What came out very clearly is that the Regulations came up with intermediary financial institutions where they provided that the funds can be disbursed through other financial intermediaries. It was very interesting to see the kind of interest that the intermediaries were to get from the funds and how much they were to make and how much they were to give. view
