• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have three very critical issues as we go home. There is insecurity in this country that the Government must address and ensure the security of every one of us. It is very sad that in every news bulletin a senior police officer or a minor is announced to have been shot dead. It is really scaring and we will end up losing business people the way we have lost tourists, and then we will not earn foreign exchange for this country. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is also very sad that in the 21st Century we ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we talk about corruption, accountability starts with leaders like us. If we fail to pay our taxes, where do we expect to get funds to develop our areas? We have devolved funds. Let us utilize them well and let others also learn from us. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly, a referendum is good for this country. Those who opposed the referendum in 2010 indicated that there were some issues which were not good. It is now time for them to bring up all these issues in the soon-to-be referendum, so that they can be taken care of. view

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Allow me to seek a Statement on behalf of hon. George Opondo Kaluma, who is out of the country. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), the hon. Member wishes to request a Statement from the Leader of the Majority Party regarding lack of fulfillment of the provisions of Articles 232(1), 241(4) and 246(4) of the Constitution by the Executive. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I tend to think that the three weeks are enough. By that time the hon. Member will be back in the country. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Could the Chair come out very clearly regarding bumps? When you drive around in this country you will find communities putting up crude bumps along roads without even road signs; these have really caused accidents on a number of occasions. Could he come up with a very clear policy to address this issue of crude bumps across roads, specifically along Mai Mahiu-Kaplong-Kisii Road? view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Committee for coming up with this Bill. This Bill is coming up at the right moment and it will really help this country. However, as much as this Bill is coming up, it is also very important for us to realise that very many Bills have been passed in this House and others are gathering dust wherever they are. So, more importantly, we must internalize those Bills and make them part of us ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Most of the third world countries were colonised because of those natural resources. This is because the wazungus came for those minerals. They colonised us. They scooped the minerals. They went to their countries and if you go to those countries, you will appreciate that they have really developed themselves at the expense of the third world countries like Kenya and our neighbouring countries. You will even realise that we are dying in poverty while others are enjoying our resources. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to say that this Bill is trying to address some issues which are likely to bring some equality in sharing of the resources. I want to say that in every community where minerals are found, there is always a conflict and I hope the Bill will try to address this so that we have equal sharing by the National Government, county governments and the community that has taken care of those natural resources for so long. If this is actually done, I am assuring you that our livelihoods will definitely improve. view
