• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The Leader of Majority Party has said there were several deportees that were in the plane. According to us, that is the same thing that has made the Government of Nigeria--- view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. The reason that was given by the Nigerian Government was that the pilot was unable to account for the number of passengers in the plane. It also appears that the Leader of Majority Party did not clarify the number of passangers who were in the plane when it landed in Nigeria. Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very helpful Motion. A poverty cycle can only be broken by educating our youth. There is no other method and in order to help them, we have to have a data bank to know who we can help. If we organise a data bank, it will help the country to manage the resources it has as far as education is concerned. For example, you will find that there are so many people or Kenyans who would like to help but they do not know who they ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: It will also help us to assist the people in an organised manner because the county governments will be offering bursaries. The Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) will be offering bursaries and also the Government will be offering the same. If we do not do it in an organised manner, then it means they will not help as much. Also, that information can be used by the Government in the management and planning. So, I tend to think this is a very good idea. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we should not forget to say what we have in the country. We know our country today is experiencing a problem because teachers are not in class. I would like to urge Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) to accept to negotiate with the Government. It is becoming a hostile union and it is refusing to negotiate. I urge them to negotiate. We cannot sit down as Members of Parliament and watch our kids and resources being wasted. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I am not digressing because we are discussing an issue on education but I realise that KNUT only operates during an election year and when the management is new. We should come up with a method of seeing how we can assist the country move forward and where unions will not be negotiating with the Government during an election year when the management is new. I urge them that this is a new Government and let us give them a chance. They will help the teachers because some of us in this National Assembly were teachers. view

• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. This is the most important Motion at this particular time. We all know that cancer and renal diseases are major killers in our country. Those diseases have killed very important people in our society, for example, hon. Prof. Maathai, hon. Shikuku, hon. Michuki, hon. Karume and others. Some other major personalities in this country have disclosed that they are living with those diseases, for example, Senator Anyang’-Nyong’o and Senator Beth Mugo. That is a disease that we cannot just sit back and watch as it kills our people. If we establish ... view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion, and say also that I am a Member of Parliament for Kajiado North. I attended some of these public inquiry meetings where hon. Lady Justice Kalpana Rawal was the presiding officer. I saw her as a very articulate judge, and we people of Kajiado North have no doubt that she conducted the inquiry in a professional manner. Also after that, I happened to sit down with members of the family of the late George Saitoti. I am the Member of Parliament for the constituency he represented for ... view
