• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: THAT, aware that there is lack of enforcement of the Traffic (Amendment) Act, No.2 of 2012; concerned that deaths on our roads surpass 3,000 people per year, with a significant number of debilitating injuries; further aware that the majority of Traffic Police Officers continue to extort bribes from motorists at the expense of passenger safety, this House resolves that the Government should ensure that all Officers Commanding Police Divisions within whose division a road accident occurs, post comprehensive details of the nature and the number of traffic offences and prosecutions done, including those for attempts by motorists to bribe police ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Bill, but of course with amendments. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I get surprised when I hear Members opposing this very important amendment. It is like locking yourself out of the county and on all development matters that are going on. Right now, we have heard from our respective constituencies, the people that we represent complaining that they do not know what is going on. They see you there with a development plan from the CDF, they see you doing a road with KeRRA funds and then the governor comes with tractors and other machinery and repeats the same thing. They are asking how we are coordinating. Are we not talking ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: If you say that it is the issue of separation of powers, I do not see how it plays out here. All we are saying is that this Board is simply a forum.

So, every constituency in the county will be represented and heard at this level. ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: constituencies? We will find constituencies which are marginalized at the county level and if you are not in this Board, then you will never know what is going on. So, for me a Member of Parliament does not only legislate. Why do we say that a Member of Parliament also represents? We are representing people here. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We need to know what is going on within our counties and there is no other way we shall know, except by forming this very important forum. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to say that the role of the Women Representatives has also been ably recognized in this Board. As it is now, I know there is a Bill that our lady colleagues want to bring to this House and it is taking long to come. We want them to be significant and play a role at the county and constituency level. They will be in this Board as well. For them to be here, we shall know that they will now represent the interests of the women and the children. They will ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have counties where the county assemblies comprise of one party. Most of them belong to one party and a few to a minority party. When they come together, they represent the interest of the minority and the interest of the majority. That is why we have --- view
