• 23 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: When I became the Member for Sirisia Constituency there were 91 primary schools and almost of all of them were mud-walled. The children used to carry cow dung to smear on the walls. So, with the help of the NG-CDF Committee, I managed to build permanent classrooms for almost 68 schools. Sometimes I think the people who are instigating removal of the NG- CDF are not normal. view
• 23 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: I was so proud while driving along Uhuru Highway to see about 28 school buses. I even told my bodyguards and driver to look at them yet there are people out there saying that the NG-CDF should be removed. Eight of the buses had been written ‘Fully funded by NG-CDF’. I was very proud as a Member of Parliament. Children from poor families have benefited a lot because some of them receive full bursaries. For example, in my constituency every year, I give full bursaries to 61 bright students from poor families as scholarships. Without the NG- The electronic version ... view
• 23 Nov 2022 in National Assembly: CDF they would not afford to go to high schools or universities. Now, many of them have gone to universities courtesy of the NG-CDF. As a country, every time we have problems, we blame ourselves as Members of Parliament because we are the law makers. I have been in this House for three terms and the NG-CDF problems occur every term. They have removed the NG-CDF yet we are the law makers. This is now the time - and let it be the last time - for us as a House to make sure that we amend the laws. Let ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. First, I thank you very much for guiding us in this House. You have stood with us and protected us from people from outside this House. You have shown that you are the father of this House. I thank you most sincerely. My family and I would like to thank you for standing with me during the time I was jailed. I could call from remand prison and speak with you. I will never forget that. It is not easy for a Speaker to speak to someone in custody. I pray for you and ... view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: I just want to comment on what the Member for Emurua Dikirr Constituency has just contributed. He is my friend. It is me who was jailed for 74 years and it is something that cannot be rejoiced in this House because the Public Investments Committee is a very corrupt Committee. I was jailed because of corruption of the Members of the Committee. I did not steal. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, give me time because he rejoiced when he said that I was convicted for 70 years because of their stupid recommendation. I am not happy. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not ashamed to say and repeat it again and again. I happened to be in that Committee during that time. I was with him. I do not even have the money they demanded at that time. That is why I was jailed. Hon. Keynan was leading that Committee as the Chair. I did not give them the money they requested - Kshs56 million. I did not have the money. I am not ashamed to say that the Public Investments Committee (PIC) is corrupt. I can repeat that even a hundred times. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: I can. I am not ashamed. The case is in court. I am not happy when those people, my colleagues, are enjoying. I am visiting the courts every day, now and then, while those who wanted me to pay them are enjoying. There are so many cases they have corruptly executed in this House. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is something that pains me all the time. The case was a breach of contract and the payment was done by the Court of Appeal. Because of the differences we have in this House, it cost me to be jailed for all that long time. When I come to this House, I sometimes see Members who are corrupt. They have taken a lot of money from clients, from the people. I am not ashamed to say that. view
