• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. Those who came up with the idea of county governments had a very good plan and intention. Right now, we can stand here and say that county governments are doing a good job although there is still a lot to be done. For example, in Kaiti Constituency, a lot has been done by the county government. For example, in the health sector, health centres have been built. The community is happy because there are health centres in all parts of the constituency. There ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: There are also conflicts between the governors and the MCAs. We know that one of the roles of the MCAs is oversight, but most of the MCAs are voiceless. This is something we cannot sit down and let go. We need to support oversight mechanisms over the counties. We need to make sure that counties do what they are supposed to do and ensure that there is accountability. With those remarks, I support the Bill. view

• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. One, I want to thank Hon. Muriuki for coming up with the Bill which is timely and very important. We need to discuss it. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: In Kaiti Constituency, I had a meeting with these retirees and they raised the same question about pension. We, as lawmakers, need to support this Bill because some of these people are our fathers. They served this country. They deserve to be paid their pension. I remember there are those former councillors whom we cannot forget about because they did a good job of serving this country and earning little money. They are languishing in poverty in the village because they did not get anything. We need to factor them and remember them because they did a good job in ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Bill. These people need to be paid. With the current technology, we need to pay them at the county level. I cannot imagine someone travelling all the way from Garissa to Nairobi to come and be paid here. Technology is there and we need to consider them in their local areas which are the counties. As I support this Bill, we need proper monitoring. We need to pay them. We need to put some strategies on how we will monitor the payment. view

• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this important Motion. Fistula is a very common disease affecting women. Most of them are in the village. They do not know what to do. It is becoming a very dangerous disease. It high time we took some of the things we discuss here seriously. Like HIV and cancer, fistula is a very serious disease, and we need to be serious about it. We also need to create awareness amongst our people. While in my constituency, I heard people talk about a disease but they gave it ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporarily Deputy Speaker for the correction. The Government needs to establish clinics to create awareness of this condition. Most people affected by this condition fear coming out to explain to the community their condition. Once we create awareness and establish clinics in all counties, it will help the affected people. Our communities will know more about this condition. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: It is also good for us to set aside money through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) so that, as Members of Parliament, we act in our constituencies. This is a serious condition and we need to be serious about it. view
