• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this presidential speech. At the outset, I thank the President for yesterday’s Address. He touched on almost every corner of this country and every department. He talked about roads and infrastructure. I agree with the President that the Jubilee government has done a lot in terms of infrastructure. Roads are open almost everywhere. When you go to Kwale, Lodwar, Migori or Garissa, you will find tarmacked roads. He also talked of Level 4 hospitals for the Defence Forces. It is good that I used to belong ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: The President spoke about industry and housing. Uniformed officers have had housing problems. Yesterday, the President mentioned efforts that he has put in place to make sure the military and police officers have modern equipment to take care of security in the country. He promised that he will not let go even an inch of this country. He mentioned that following the recent ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding the Somalia border.

• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to the County Governments Grants Bill. We need to give money to our counties. Indeed, devolution has done a good in this country. We can commend a few counties because we have seen their development and progress, but many are mismanaged. They misuse funds and grants just like allocations from the National Treasury. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Jubilee Government. People who do not know may say that the Jubilee Government has not done many developments as they promised. However, I want ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: that we have in this country, I think we can move to another level. As I said, many requirements are not there in the facilities that the common mwananchi expects to see or use in the village. I support this Bill, but with very little support because we want the money to go to the counties. We need it. I need it in Bungoma. We cannot oppose the Bill, but I support it with reservations and say that people are supposed to look after the money in county governments, right from the governor to the common officer who is supposed ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The money comes at different levels, even to the national Government itself, but when the money reaches the Treasury, also there is a problem in the Treasury. Treasury also takes advantage of these grants. I am speaking on what I have seen like in the Public Accounts Committee in allocating grants and sometimes loans. People tend to think that they can just misuse grant money that is donated from outside the country the way they feel or want, because they think that there is no accountability, and so they take advantage. The government needs ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute on this very important Agreement for our country. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: This country needs to open up to a lot of business. As we very well know, Kenya is a hub in the world and we need direct flights. This Agreement has taken too long. We thought that because we had been to South Africa and Botswana, the Agreement had been ratified. This is the time to do so. It is not too late. Even though it has taken many years, we can do so. Countries in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
