• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, police may not take action if there is no complainant. The victim may not want to be the complainant because she does not know about her safety. There must be a way in which the police and law enforces can pick up cases of this nature once they are aware it has happened. You cannot be sitting in a police station and something happens 50 meters away and say you have not been told officially. It is that kind of attitude that has led to the impunity that you see in this regard. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I strongly feel that this is a very timely Motion that will follow through with the infrastructural side, but we also need to get the soft side also done so that the training and awareness view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I strongly support this and hope that Nambale will become one of the first centres to be built. Thank you very much. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have several concerns on the nominee. One, I have read through the Report and I have not seen any responses that give me comfort. For example, we have the issue of inclusivity. The Civil Service should represent the face of Kenya. What specific ideas did he have to implement given his long experience and the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: senior position he is expected to occupy? I thought the committee should have delved into that. If he promised to hire more young graduates, I would be surprised to hear where he is going to get the budget to finance that. How is he going to create space to finance an increased absorption of this target group that we want absorbed? We are in the era of an excessive wage bill. That is what we have been told over the last five years. What are his specific ideas in respect of refining the Civil Service so that he can create ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be conscious of the fact that my colleagues want to say something. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I rise to support the Bill. The intentions of the Bill are very noble. The process of restructuring institutions to conform to the Constitution and realign with the mandate of development is a very good idea and I support it. It is one thing to have good institutions, but it is quite another to have those institutions deliver. Beyond institutions that will manage the road network, we have a whole set of decision-making networks that allocate resources to construct roads. In the current dispensation and over the last five years, this does not come out of a planning process like ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Furthermore, we need better alignment between national resource allocation and responsibilities that are assigned. A lot of roads have been assigned to the county governments but as you know, the allocation of resources even after the first cut of the devolved roads, was held back, and only minimal amounts were passed on to the counties. If you want to realign institutions to the supreme law and reality of governance, you should also align resources for roads that have been assigned to county governments. We should not have intense lobbying by the Council of Governors and others for roads to be ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: One of the frustrations in road repair is the fact that the right of way that we used to have during the colonial period no longer exists. A road is constructed but those that own the land that is adjacent to the road do not allow any drainage into their lands. Therefore, roads get damaged. We need to ease the law on the right of way to enforce the fact that in a scientifically sound way, roads must be allowed to drain off into the nearby farms. Sugarcane growers in my constituency refuse to have drainage face their farms partly ... view
