• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. As we sign any treaty with any nation, we should consider our interest as Kenyans. We have signed treaties and later on we came to regret it. Hon. Speaker, you remember the Egyptian Treaty with the East African Community (EAC), which was in favour of the Egyptian nation, but the whole of East Africa did not benefit. So, it is very important for all of us to ensure that any treaty that we sign with any nation takes care of our interests. With those remarks, I support. view

I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of this House today, Thursday, 1st December, 2016: Report on the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on Ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty to facilitate access to published work for persons who are blind, virtually impaired or otherwise disabled. Protocol to the Constitutive Act of the African Union relating to the Pan African Parliament. view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I hope you will agree with me that as we support this Bill, there are some issues that we need to look at as Kenyans. We need to sort them out first. In Kenya, when you mention land, everybody becomes keen and attentive because it is a very sensitive issue which every Kenyan is cautious of. view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Let us all agree that somewhere along the way, we, Kenyans, messed up our land acquisition or ownership. I believe that it is not too late to rectify that mistake which our forefathers may have made deliberately or not. The Leader of the Majority Party and the Chief Whip of the Majority Party have highlighted the issues which we are supposed to address in the Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill, but there are some other pertinent issues, which we need to relook at and correct them before it is too late. Before we gained Independence, the colonial masters had ... view
• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill. As I support it, let us not just dwell on those things which people have repeatedly said. Let us try and look at the root cause of this menace. I hope you will agree with me that other than the culture, this is a cartel, a mafia of billions of shillings which is normally transacted. Let us not pretend, especially those people who practise it, either from northern Kenya, Pokot or Turkana. It is the leaders themselves who encourage the communities. It is the high time, if we want to ... view

• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to congratulate the Mover of this Motion. For this Motion to go through, we need to set a special fund for the talented youth in our country. That special fund should be well managed and maintained. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to thank the Mover of this Motion. It is very shameful and painful for a country like Kenya to discuss issues of insecurity just because of cattle rustling view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is very shameful to talk about cattle rustling in this country after getting Independence over 50 years ago. It is high time the communities which normally practise cattle rustling as a way of life and of earning money and getting their daily bread, changed that attitude. It is very painful to hear that some lives have been lost or some people have been injured in the process of cattle rustling. It is an outdated practice which should be condemned and disregarded by those who practise it. It pains me a lot when I ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I thank the Mover of this Motion my friend, Hon. Mwinyi. The purpose of the P3 Form is to produce evidence when victims go to court. At that time, the victims injured through accidents or by criminals are in dire need of assistance. However, in most cases, when people get injured either through accidents or by criminals, instead of being accorded the necessary assistance they are supposed to be given by the police or relevant department, they are neglected and as a result they suffer a lot. They go through a ... view
