• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you can see a big shame tonight that hon. Members who have themselves to blame. We cannot kill democracy because you are political hoppers. We cannot allow that and, therefore, I oppose this amendment. view
• 12 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity, on my behalf, the people of Kajiado County particularly Kajiado Central and also on behalf of hon. Ole Metito who is in the United States of America, to send our condolences to the wife of hon. Saitoti, Margaret and the wife of hon. Ojode, the families of the pilots and security detail, namely, Mr. Tonkei and Mr. Murimi for the great loss this country experienced on Sunday. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a lot of things have been said about hon. Saitoti and hon. Ojode. The two are great patriots of this ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this good opportunity to contribute on the Presidential Speech. At the very beginning, I want to commend the President, first of all, as a Commander in Chief, for the decisive action he took to ensure that Kenyan security is guaranteed by allowing the Kenya Defence Forces and other security organs to remove Al Shabaab from our borders. That is a very commendable thing that the President did. That is decisive leadership and it is very good for this country. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Secondly, I sympathize with the leaders of the Coast. I would like to request them to talk to their people. The people came out to say that “ Pwani si Kenya .” That is what the President was saying that we will never in this country allow people to divide this nation. It is very important that political leaders; people who are elected to represent the people of this country put their priority as national unity, sovereignty and the integrity of this nation. The territorial integrity of this nation in totality will have to be defended by the political leaders ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I also condemn tribal groupings totally. I have condemned them during my rallies. I told the wananchi that this is Kenya and it does not belong to any political party. When you see some political leaders trying to advance their personal interests by converging tribal groupings like GEMA and KAMATUSA, they are misleading the people. First and foremost, there is nothing called KAMATUSA. It was an entity during the Moi regime and people want to revive it now for their political interests. We cannot accept that. The Maa Community does not belong to any grouping. It belongs to the community ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I want to commend the President for directing the security organs in this country that we have to deal decisively with the Al Shabaab and any tribal grouping which is threatening the security of the country. We have to deal decisively with Al Qaeda . We have a problem of terrorism. We are threatened with terrorism through the Al Shabaab and we want our security organs to be on the look-out. We pay quite a substantial amount of money for the security of this country. Therefore, I do not accept to receive a warning from the American Embassy telling Kenyans ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the issue of infrastructure, the Coalition Government has done a commendable job. I agree with hon. Mung’aro that in the next Budget, the next road which requires to be brought up to standard is the road from Mombasa Port up to Mariakani. We need a dual carriage way there. That is really the main artery of this nation. That is where the resources are coming through. So, I recommend that the Minister for Roads should pick up from the Speech of the President and support the main supply routes in this country. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are issues to do with bridges. There are certain roads which require bridges and they need to be considered. For example, when you look at the Namanga-Athi River Road, yesterday, majority of commuters were not able to access Nairobi. That is because the bridge at Kisaju was overflowing. You know that we train our engineers. I think they should be in a position to raise a bridge across a river that is likely to overflow. The water overflowing Kisaju bridge cut off communication and trade between Kenya and Tanzania. The same should be done in ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the President alluded to CDF. CDF has done remarkable development in this country. I would like to say that CDF should continue even in the current dispensation. The MP may not be the manager, but he or she should be in charge of the development in the constituency. The CDF should come as a grant. It is should not come through the Budget. That way, each constituency will benefit greatly from that Fund. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, economic stimulus projects such as health centres should also continue. I would urge the Minister for Finance to ensure that in the coming Budget, all uncompleted economic stimulus projects are funded so that, by the end of this Parliament, all those projects are complete. view
