• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I seek a clarification on the same issue. Ebola is one of the most deadly diseases of our time with a fatality rate of close to 90 per cent. The focus has been so much on those entering the country by air. However, we should also take cognizance of the fact that several people are entering this country by water through Lake Victoria and by road. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, already, there is one reported case of Ebola in Tanzania. Although my county borders that country, there is no screening at the border. Secondly, what is the Government doing to create public awareness in terms of the mode of transmission, symptoms and precautionary measures? view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the unending tension between the residents of Nyakach Constituency and those of Belgut and Sigowet/Soin Constituencies.

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I want to start by thanking hon. John Mbadi for bringing this important Bill. According to the latest study report released by Ipsos Kenya, one in every four Kenyans or 25 per cent of Kenyans, which comes to about 10 million Kenyans, sleep on empty stomachs every day due to the high cost of living. Kenyans have spoken through that survey. According to Kenyans, in order of priority, the most serious issues affecting them are high cost of living, with inflation at about 50 per cent, unemployment, corruption, insecurity and poor leadership. view

We are in a crisis of confidence. We are moving from crisis to crisis. We are in a situation where the leadership of this nation is basically fire-fighting, depending on quick-fix solutions to deal with problems that are affecting Kenyans. view

The main concerns of stakeholders in this sub-sector include high cost of production, financing cane development and influx of cheap sugar imports into the country. Among the goods and services that we want to request to qualify for zero-rating should be sugarcane transportation. The sugar industry is doing very badly, and the Government is just watching.
