• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: This time, instead of bringing members to be reappointed, they have to go through the process of performance appraisal. This again follows the principles of good corporate governance and in this process we identify the best. The people working also know that it is not automatic. They have to do the right things so that they can be considered for further reappointment. In the process this can lead to efficiency and improvement in service delivery. This is where we would like those bodies to add value to the nation. We have seen cases where some of our bodies have been ... view

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill on Public Private Partnerships (PPP). This is an important Bill because it clarifies the mechanism and the processes for the partnership. We know the importance of PPP. We have seen cases where it has been carried out effectively. For example, we have seen the development in Kenyatta University. Where the PPP is carried out properly, it can stimulate growth, make work easier, create opportunities and it injects capital in public enterprises or entities. Those projects that should have taken very many years and which should not have been implemented can ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. The problem of cattle rustling should be considered as robbery with violence. It is painful because it has caused a lot of suffering in my Constituency of Igembe North. This is because other people come and claim that they are coming for re-stocking. They steal animals which end up getting lost within the country. Cows are not like small birds. Cattle rustling is not only a robbery activity but also a business. It is no longer a cultural activity. In my opinion, it is a multi-million business which should ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other thing is negligence in this Republic. Cattle rustling is associated with certain parts of this Republic where we have poor infrastructure in terms of roads. Cattle rustling is also practised in areas where there is no water. The vice is also rampant in areas where education is limited. This is also the question of marginalization because the areas which suffer from this practice are those, for one reason or the other, have not been prioritised in terms of development. In the new dispensation, development should not be tied to politics, orientation or whatever. There ... view
• 24 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset I support this Motion. I also wish my colleagues a good year as we approach the elections. This Committee has done a good job and it is good that we give it further mandate to continue with the business of the House. This Committee is important in terms of setting the agenda and business for the House, giving guidance to this House. I urge all Kenyans and parliamentarians as we embark on this last leg, we use the opportunity that we have to unite the people of this country and not to use ... view

• 24 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment because it is important to be inclusive in law-making so that we do not appear to be supporting one faith. view

• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is very sad. These are matters of very serious magnitude. The question of GMOs and biotechnology is what drives the food economy in other parts of the world. Here in Kenya, we are hiding our heads under the sand as our people get afflicted by the problem of food insecurity. If the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives cannot prioritise this issue, what is it really doing? I think that Committee is unable to do its job and that is why there is a proposal to establish a select committee that can work ... view
