• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I want a ruling on this Motion because it contradicts an Act of Parliament. You cannot establish a single primary school somewhere for people living with disabilities because it will be discriminative in nature. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an Act called the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act, 2004. This is what is practised in our primary schools. That is where the issue of integration is. A kid is taken to a special unit in a school system and when he can cope with what is being taught, he is integrated into the mainstream section. So, the special school cannot be separate from the mainstream school. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I had come to purposely contribute to that Motion by Hon. Peris because she mentioned something but I do not know the situation. view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to condole the family of pupils of St. Gabriel, Mwingi. Accidents are caused, they do not just occur. Drivers should take care, especially when they are carrying children. Drivers across the country are not following the laid down traffic rules. Even in normal situations, vehicles overtake carelessly. For example, in Nairobi, vehicles crisscross roads. That means the rules are not being obeyed. Also, head teachers should obey the directive from the Ministry that pupils should be carried between 6.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. If they are carried at night, they ... view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Ministry that pupils should be carried between 6.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. If they are carried at night, they are at the mercy of what one of the Members said. I condole with the families who lost their loved ones. I also wish the ones in hospital quick recovery. Thank you. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to also contribute to this important Bill, which seeks to amend some sections of the Land Act to make sure that, at least, there is uniformity that is being talked about. We are talking about land, a very important resource in this country that is liked by many Kenyans. It is a factor of production. Also, it has aesthetic value that is valued by most Kenyans. Therefore, when we talk of land, we have to be a bit sensitive to what we are saying. It is important that we ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Currently, Kenya Railways and the Presidential Delivery Unit are on the ground trying to also do a valuation and this is like the fourth survey and evaluation that is being done. Therefore, the people are getting agitated. Why is it being done this way? As we continue, I will bring an amendment to this particular Bill to give mandate to a certain institution to do valuation and survey which should be final. Government institutions should appreciate and trust each other. If a Government valuer does a valuation on a particular asset, we should not subject it to another Government valuer ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I also realised that valuers are not considering the market value of that area. My constituency is right adjacent to Nairobi and the values are very high, yet they want to compensate at a very low rate where the constituents will not get adjacent land at the same value. Therefore, when compensating and getting the value index, they should consider the market value of that area. They should compensate in monetary value. When it comes to giving other things such as shares, it is not a good way to compensate these Kenyans because they come from simple backgrounds. The valuers ... view
