• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Before I contribute to this Motion, I would like to clearly state that the concern raised in the morning about the security of this House is important. Parliament, as well as other arms of Government, should look for a way of investing more in technology rather than human beings. This is because people who are engaging in insecurity in the country are becoming more sophisticated. If we do not move with technology, we will be overtaken by events. We will be shocked at how they will bring trouble to us. I wish to state clearly that it is time to ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: in nature, and which tracks both the location as well as the use of firearms, so that when you are given a firearm to use and you are given a licence for it, you ensure that the firearm is used for the intended purpose. We are worried that most of the guns out there are licensed, yet they are used for illegal purposes. What would stop somebody who has been given a gun legally, from hiring it to other people? This country has become over-populated, and we cannot control the use of firearms if we do not have a proper ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Before I say anything, I have to bring to your attention the worrying trend in this country whereby certain bodies or commissions which are formed by the Government to carry out some functions go ahead and declare some courses or colleges irrelevant, without considering the plight of the students and parents who have invested in those institutions. In fact, this Bill is trying to address a very big issue where the Engineering Act had already excluded some courses which are offered by ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Engineering Board or practitioners in engineering to guard their interest and face this Bill with an open mind. What we are enacting here is going to break or make the lives of many students who are studying technology engineering. We have to clearly understand the difference between engineers and technologists. There are a lot of road designs which are made by our engineers. However, those roads can stay for 30 years without being constructed because we do not have people to construct them. We only have designers who design good roads. However, to implement the designs, we have to wait ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to raise a concern touching on the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), which is actually a matter of grave concern. It is touching on the welfare of our staff and, therefore, effectively touching on the Members. I wish to bring to the attention of the House that there is a memo dated 22nd July 2015, which seeks to address the county/constituency allocation adjustments, but which is not in line with the proposals by PSC, when it was presenting its budget. I wish to bring to your attention that the memo is ... view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: estimates, approved a 30 per cent increase to the county/constituency offices allocation effective 1st July. Then it says: “This approval of 30 per cent has been worked out as per the attached table.” The issue I have here is with the table. The figures are not computed in line with the actual increase. It is actually theoretical and it purports to increase the allocation by 30 per cent. But when you look at it keenly, the effective increase is 14 per cent. Therefore, I want to seek your indulgence to make a ruling that this memo should not be implemented ... view

• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: If you want to know the gravity of the matter, in Continental House alone, just look for time and visit Floor no.4 and 6. There is a serious stench and no one is addressing it. Therefore, I want to actually call you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, to rule that this memo should not be effectively complied with until those issues are addressed. That is because if we allow it to go on, our staff will never be paid. We have a big problem. Even when their salaries are increased, it takes almost three to six months to be paid. So, Hon. ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the amendment. If you have people in service and their welfare is not well-taken care of, it will be an effort in futility. Therefore, I support that their welfare should be looked into. view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this chance to contribute. I also wish to thank and congratulate my friend, Hon. Mwaura, who happened to have studied with me in the same university which is becoming the university of the future - Kenyatta University. Even the first President of the USA to visit Kenya recognised the importance of that university. I thank Hon. Mwaura for recognising the importance of privacy in life because he got married the other day. He even visited the President of the Republic of Kenya. So, I know that he has also recognised the importance of ... view
