• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by saying--- view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me begin by thanking my brother, Hon. Injendi, for bringing this Motion at this time. It is high time we realised the noble role that the village elders play. They are patriotic Kenyans who have been sacrificing their lives. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Last weekend, when we were on recess, those people managed to eradicate illicit brew in my constituency. I support the Motion and I would like them to be paid over Kshs10,000. view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to talk about this national crisis. I would like to thank my brother, Hon. Wamalwa for bringing this Motion. For the first time, I am agreeing with him because we are Members of the same Committee and I normally differ with him on so many issues. I would like to support this important Motion that is long overdue. When we were on recess last week, I summoned all principals from my constituency, the District Education Officer (DEO) and the Deputy County Commissioners to address the issue of demonstration and ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill. From the outset, let me say that there is no nation which can develop without good road infrastructure. There is no meaningful development which we can achieve without good road infrastructure. With that preamble, I want to emphasise the importance of road infrastructure in our country. If we want to achieve any meaningful development in the various sectors, we must develop our road network. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: There is insecurity in areas which do not have proper road network. Since morning, I have heard from Members that pastoralist communities who engage in fights are crying for proper infrastructure. That is why there is a lot of insecurity. It is also the same case in education and health. We also need good road infrastructure in the agriculture sector. Road network is vital for our development. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Road network affects employment opportunities. When we have good road network, we create a lot of employment. So, I support this Bill. It has come at the right time. I also emphasise the importance of KeNHA and KeNSRA. As we pass this Bill, we should go to the ground and identify the roads that we are supposed to embark on. Right now, there is a conflict between the national Government and the county governments where each claims that this or that road belongs to them. In fact, in some areas, there are people who duplicate what has been done. We ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: From there, we have to agree. I request the Members, particularly Members of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing to make sure that whatever we have agreed here and passed is seen on the ground. It is embarrassing when a road is allocated some money and awarded to a certain contractor, but the kind of work that is done on the ground leaves a lot to be desired. I know of various roads in my constituency which people have complained about. They wonder why when a road is rehabilitated, even before the contractor moves out of site, ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: It pains me a lot when I see a road, especially in my sub-county of Njoro, at Soilo Junction next to Nakuru being worked on every year, but hardly stays for a year without potholes. The same applies to the road from Njoro Town to Mau Narok shopping centre. You wonder the kind of materials the contractors use. That road was constructed in 1972 by an Israel company and stayed for more than 30 years without any repair work being done on it, but when it started getting dilapidated, it was given to a local contractor and the kind of ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Recently, people demonstrated because of big potholes on roads. On the Njoro-Mau Narok Road, we have more than 50 trucks full of potatoes, carrots and other farm produce on a daily basis going to various markets like Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru and western Kenya. These trucks normally get damaged because of the big potholes on the roads. We have to agree that contractors who will be awarded these jobs must do a good job.
