• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The Bill should define the roads that should be dual carriageways in order to avoid congestion of traffic. Rural roads, as it was mentioned yesterday, should be properly categorised as to which ones fall under county governments and which ones fall under the national Government. In some counties, the rural roads are very poorly managed to the extent that the long rains damage them within a very short time. The Government continues spending money on them. The Bill should define the areas to be left for the counties. The authorities being created should be very professional to ensure that roads ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The Kenya Roads Bill is very important and has come at the right time. I congratulate the Chairman who moved it yesterday. He should give time limits within which affected people are compensated. Also, classification should be done in a proper way. view

• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. This Bill has come at the right time when we have a lot of constructions mushrooming in various suburban and local markets. I believe that coming up with any construction which has not been planned ruins the face of a town.

• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: have been haphazardly constructed will cease. I hope the planning officers responsible for implementing this Bill, when it goes through, will make sure that any construction that does not appear in the plan is removed. They should ensure that any old constructions that have created slums in our upcoming urban areas are removed and the plans are brought up. The county governments are now going to have the power to work together with the director of physical planning in ensuring that any upcoming developments in our towns and markets are properly planned. This Bill is very important and should be ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity to give my comments on the amendments to the Public Trustee Bill. Kenyans have suffered for a long time basing their claims and so forth on the old Act which, as we have been told, has been on since 1925. This Act left a lot of things hanging for the Kenyans. I want to commend and thank those who have come up with these amendments. I believe these are going to ease the sufferings Kenyans have been going through. In my constituency, we have a lot of claims from the Public Trustee but ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Before I give my comments, let me take this opportunity to join other honourable members in passing my condolences to the people of Nyeri and the family of the late Governor on behalf of the people of Butula. This Motion is long overdue. As you are aware, the upcoming towns or urban centres have been haphazardly constructed. There has been no planning and you find the upcoming towns coming up with slums instead of beautiful towns. This Motion will aim towards integrating ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Houses are built without looking at any direction and that drops the value of the urban centre as it comes up. This will recognise the role of integrated rural planning in realising equity in national and county development. This Bill as presented is going to be of great use to the county governments and particularly in the areas that are upcoming. I beg to support. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. The sugar industry has gone down over the years. As a result, it has contributed a lot to creation of poverty among the people who are at the sugar areas. I come from a constituency where almost 50 per cent of farmers grow sugar-cane. Most of those farmers have never been paid. As a result, many have moved away from growing sugar- cane and, therefore, creating a gap for a lot of poverty. Farmers cannot pay their fees nor do any work. ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to present my position on this Motion. This being my maiden speech, I want to congratulate you for having been elected, among the others, in the Speaker’s Panel.
