• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Masinga, WDM-K): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the chance you have given me to air my views on this Bill. First of all, I would like to thank the Committee for a well-researched and timely Bill. In Kenya because of devolved units, everybody, even in the rural areas, wants to invest in apartments. Therefore, the Bill will help people in rural areas to own their apartments. We need first to vote for it and make it law, then we save our people. The only affordable houses are apartments. The middle class and young people, who have finished university ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: whether it will be built or not, one has already paid for it. So, one pays by faith. It is very important that if a person has struggled to pay for a House, he should, at the end of the day, own a piece of paper called a title deed so that he becomes proud of owing property in this lifetime. Property is at the heart of every family. So, to own houses is a good thing and these are the only properties that are affordable because they are sectional properties. If we regulate their ownership by passing this law, ... view

• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for hearing my voice. I would like to support this very important National Drought Management Authority (Amendment) Bill. It is timely because we have been having a cycle of drought throughout the country. The same counties have been affected by drought all the time. This time round, Machakos County, where I come from, has been left out. I only pray that Machakos will be included as one of the counties that are affected by drought because there is a lot of famine at the moment. People are sleeping on empty stomachs. Children who are supposed ... view

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this chance to give my views. I thank the Mover of the Bill who has enabled us to debate it. To me, it is a good thing that directors have an institute which will regulate them. This is because as it is presently, everybody can become a director anywhere, but when it comes to discipline there is no institute to discipline them. There is no mechanism for that. When this Bill is enacted, it will bring sanity in the boards. Directors will be regulated and they will behave, lest their contracts get terminated. ... view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I support the Report of the Vice-Chair, Hon. Mishra. Even pronouncing his name is difficult. This is a very detailed Report from the Departmental Committee on Health. They must have burned some midnight oil to go into the details of every hospital. I am surprised that you had that time. That shows how committed that Committee is. Therefore, this Committee needs all our support, so that our referral hospitals can The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
