• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: You will agree with me that through subsidy, we will have good industries locally, and which will create employment for our youths. Currently, the unemployment rate is alarming. As a Member of Parliament, when you were campaigning during the party primaries, all the time the youths were surrounding you asking for kitu kidogo . How can we sort out this issue of kitukidogo ? The only way is to create employment opportunities for our youths to ensure that they are engaged. The only way is to fund agriculture. Once we do it, then we will do value addition that will ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: I beg to support this Bill. We need to put a lot of effort in development activities, so that we do not borrow loans to pay recurrent expenses. view

• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion on water provision to public facilities. First and foremost, I must thank the Mover, Hon. Andrew Mwadime for bringing this important Motion to this House for debate. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Water is life and lack of it leads to almost 35 per cent of diseases in this country. In the 1990s it was envisaged that in the year 2000 everybody would have water. This is the case and yet close to 60 per cent of the Kenyan population lacks water. Kenya claims to be a middle income economy. It is very embarrassing that we go for benchmarking in a country like Israel and other desert countries which have provided water for all. What has happened to Kenya? view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Motion and encourage the Government to wake up and not assume that this very important role should be left to counties. Let the national Government contribute substantially towards availing water to all Kenyans in this century. In the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), it was planned that all people would have water in this country. It is as a result of corruption that we do very little and allocate resources which end up in people’s pockets. I urge the national Government and county governments to ensure that water is available to our small children, so, that we may ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The heavy burden goes to the Kenyan women. I want to urge the Jubilee Government, if it means well for the women to provide them with water. It will go down in history that from 2013 to 2017, they did something which will make them proud at the end of their term. Lack of water in our institutions has contributed to poor performance of girls and endangered them. Most of them are raped and end up with unwanted pregnancies. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I call upon everybody to support this Motion for the sake of our women, girls and safety of this country so that we can enjoy the fruits of our Independence. Water, as a basic necessity has constantly contributed to conflicts in areas like North Eastern and maybe it is the cause of cattle rustling. By having water for all, we will minimise conflicts and cattle rustling. Finally, it is shocking to see the Kenyan public sharing water with donkeys and foxes in the 21st Century. view
