• 28 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill. People in the civil service in acting positions suffer. Someone can act in a position for many years without being confirmed and some attain retirement age while in acting capacities. I want to thank the Hon. Member who sponsored the Bill. We should support and pass it. Once we pass it, the Committee on Implementation should immediately act on it so that people in the civil service know their positions. Madam Speaker, you have been in this House for some time ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we need to scrutinise and pass this Bill which says that when you turn 60 years old, you must retire. view

• 28 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: We have a ginnery called Malakisi Ginnery which collapsed some years back. I want to thank Hon. Mary Emaase for bringing this Bill to the House so that we fight and make sure that we revive all the ginneries in the country that had collapsed. Farmers are ready. Last year, people from Sirisia where I come from and Teso North harvested 65,000 tonnes of cotton. I am happy that we are reviving this crop because Kenya has been importing materials yet these materials can be found in areas such as Machakos, Makueni, Coastal Region, Homa Bay and Western Kenya where ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: The only problem is that cotton seeds are not available. They were there last year but not this year. We need to ask the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development to make the seeds available. We know that they are imported. It is easy to grow cotton. It is planted on the second season in Western Kenya. By then, we will have harvested all the food crops that we need. It is used to make bar soaps and animal feeds. Cotton seeds and sunflower seeds are useful to farmers from that region. I am happy with the way Kenya Kwanza ... view
• 27 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to also support the amendment to the Traffic Act. We should pass this Bill so that we can save lives. We lose almost 3,000 people every year on the roads. view
• 27 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: I lived in the United States of America (USA) for some time. Police officers in the USA do not chase drivers on the roads, or detain a driver for hours by taking their driving license or car keys like they do in Kenya. In the USA, they use closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras and people obey the traffic rules. When the lights indicate that cars should stop, all drivers obey the rules and stop. Driving in the USA is very smooth and there are very few accidents unlike what we experience in Kenya every day. Whenever you watch the news, you ... view
• 15 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important speech by the President of the Republic of Kenya. This is just like when footballers are in the field; it is very easy for spectators to criticise and say everything about the players, but unable to show that they can play when inside the field. The President has tried. In his speech, he mentioned too many things that are good for our country. If these ICT hubs are built all over the country, they will help Kenya to become digital, and our children ... view
