• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: companies that manufacture them as the corporate social responsibility programmes to harvest water. Water harvesting should be done as soon as possible. I support Hon. Miruka, who is saying that we should create a Bill on water harvesting. He should come up with such Bill to compel everyone constructing a building to provide for water storage tanks not only for drinking but also for watering gardens, washing clothes and cars. He should come up with it, so that we can discuss it here and it becomes law. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Food security is amongst the Four Big Agenda of President Uhuru Kenyatta. There are areas where we need water pans in my constituency. We need onions and sukuma wiki to grow after two months. When you have pans, you can have water in those areas and produce kales and cabbages throughout the year to feed people in Turkana and North Eastern Kenya, where people do not have enough food. I have seen people being given maize to address food insecurity. We also need to supply them with cabbages, so that they can have a balanced diet every time. I support ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I am also looking at the bodies that are authorised to take care of the surface water that is there throughout. As we conserve the environment, they should also be responsible for creating small pans everywhere. We are not just talking of the mega dams on which the Government spends a lot of resources to create. We are also talking about creating small water pans in every village for watering plants and livestock. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: As we store water, it is our responsibility to manage our environment. We should continuously plant trees in water catchment areas, like in my area. I will also come up with a similar Motion to urge the Government to provide every Kenyan with clean drinking water that is affordable. People drink tap water everywhere in the world. If you go to the United States of America, which is a developed economy, people drink water direct from the tap. I wonder why Kenyans, including those in the rural villages and Kibera in Nairobi, drink water from bottles. I have also given ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. It is the Bill of our Committee. It is a Bill that we have to support with all the passion. We have to be more open minded when we are looking at these issues. First of all, on the fines, everybody is looking at the fines from a personal perspective but we were looking at the fines from a broader perspective. Consider a false publication against a corporate or an institution. If someone says a certain chocolate is causing cancer, what impact does that publication ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: You say the business daily publishing that Kenya is under threat because there is somebody who has been operating in Kenya for the last six years, getting information to benefit a foreign nation and they are getting money from the crime of spying for another nation. Which laws do we have to cater for this? This is a serious case, it is called slingshot. The other day in Runda, we had Chinese who had to be deported back to China because our Kenyan Government did not have the laws to take care of these Chinese, yet they had siphoned a ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: We have to look at E-citizen. In Kenya we are going digital every day. People are stealing from E-Citizen and Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) which are Government projects to ease the lives of Kenyans. If we do not have laws to protect this, where are we going? We need to do a good law and that is why the Computer and Cyber- Crime Bill is on the floor. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 12 considered the issue of freedom of expression and we had to consider Article 24(2) to cover Article 33 of the Constitution. We will introduce an amendment so that it is in tandem with the Constitution. So, we are listening to everybody and we are taking those notes so that when we go back, we will put some serious amendments so that this Bill can be as good as it can be, for the nation and for the prosperity of this country. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: We are looking at every part of this Bill. We are looking at facilitation of international cooperation. We do not want somebody to say that they have set base and their hacking system is in Tanzania. Will this Bill create a situation where we can cooperate with Tanzania to get The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
