• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Member. I feel for her if she actually has to receive complaints from her residents about destruction by wildlife of both life and probably agricultural products. While we appreciate what we get from wildlife, especially in respect of the tourism sector, the Government needs to make more effort to control wildlife and thus reduce human-wildlife conflict. Hon. Speaker, it is not just the elephants and these other big animals. We have conflicts even with birds. In my place in Mwea, my residents are having to spend hours and hours looking after their farms ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the chance to contribute to this very important Bill. This is one of my happiest moments. Since I came to this House, I have been complaining about representation. I have been complaining that I have a constituency that is too large with eight wards and 237,000 people getting the same resources as constituencies with three wards. I am very happy that we are heading towards correcting that particular situation. For that reason, I support this amendment Bill. The journey towards this particular Bill is well-known to most of us. A number of us ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: hypothetical formula, that anyone can apply to his own county and see whether he was marginalised, left out or ignored. The promoters of this Bill looked at the Population Census of 2019. Kenya was said to have 47.6 million people. If you then take the constituencies that were added, that gives you 360 constituencies as proposed. If you take 47.6 million divided by 360, you will get a figure of about 135,000. That becomes the modal constituency population that the promoters came up with. You would then look at the population in your own county and divide it with that ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we have four constituencies currently. It is proposed that we will have an extra constituency. Murang’a County has a population of 1,057,000. If you divide it by 135,000, you will get 7.83. That gives you eight constituencies. They have seven constituencies. One more is proposed to be added. People are complaining that Kiambu County will get more constituencies because the President comes from there. This is a misconception and confusion that is being created by people who do not want to face facts. Kiambu County has a population of 2,418,000. If you divide that by 135,000, you will ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: We were told in the morning that Nyeri County will not support this particular Bill because they do not have an extra constituency. Leaders who are expected to lead or give direction have chosen to mislead and incite their people, so that they can throw away a very important document. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: The population of Nyeri County is 759,164. If you divide that by 135,000, you will get 5.62. If you round up that one number, you will get six constituencies. Nyeri County has six constituencies currently. This Bill then says that they cannot get any other constituency. According to their population, they are supposed to have six constituencies. That is what they have. Nyandarua County is another place where some leaders are also confusing their people deliberately. It has a population of 638,289. view
