• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill is of interest to the people of Mwea because they work tirelessly to feed this country with rice through irrigation schemes in Mwea. It is for the same reasons that I came into this House almost 40 minutes before time. I am surprised that I was not first on your list. The amendments before us are important to strengthen the Act that was passed in 2019. Prior to that, we had an archaic Act. It was colonial. We used to refer to it as Cap. 347. It was through tireless efforts in ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: its meetings and operations. Under the current Act, with nine board members, the Authority is supposed to raise seven members to form a quorum. That could be a tall order at times, especially at this time when we are talking about the challenges of COVID-19 and other pandemics that bedevil this country. Therefore, reducing that number to five is a necessary amendment. I also commend the drafters of the amendment Bill for ensuring that there is greater consultation in the entire management of water use.

• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my own behalf and that of the people of Mwea Constituency that I represent, I would like to convey my sincere condolences to the family, the youth, the people of Nakuru and the Ogiek community, following the death of this youthful Senator. I did not know him very well, but the picture in front of me shows a young man whose future was bright. It is sad that death has robbed us a very youthful man. May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace. I thank you. view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Spika. Hata mimi nainuka kusema kuwa tumechukulia swala hilo kwa uzito sana. Tumekuwa tukifuatilia na Wizara ya Fedha. Kila wiki, tunaahidiwa ya kwamba tutapata jawabu lakini hatujalipata. Ningetaka usaidizi wako kwa sababu naelewa kuwa kazi ya Kenya Ports Authority iliwekwa katika Wizara ya Fedha hivi juzi. Kwa hivyo, labda wako na changamoto ya kutupa jawabu lakini hiyo si sababu ya kutolileta. Namuelewa sana Mheshimiwa na uzito alio nao kutoka kwa wafanyikazi wa Bandari. Kwa hivyo, ningetaka usaidizi wako ili Wizara husika iamrishwe na Bunge kuja mbele ya Kamati kwa lazima. Sisi pia hatungetaka wafanyikazi wafe moyo na ... view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Asante, Mhe. Spika. Mpango wetu ulikuwa kwanza kukutana na Waziri na pia mhusika ambaye ni mwenzetu Mhe. Nassir. Tukimsikiza Waziri na tuone hatuna suluhisho la maneno hayo, tutaona kama kuna haja ya kuwaita wale kutoka Mombasa ama sisi kwenda kule. Hili ni swali nyeti ambalo ni la uzito sana. Kwa hivyo, singetaka kusema The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: ya kwamba hakuna haja ya kwenda ama wao kuja. Kwanza tungetaka kukutana na Waziri na Mheshimiwa ili tuone kama tunaweza kutatua hilo tatizo tukiwa hapa Nairobi. Asante. view
