• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: If you divide that by 135,000, you will get 4.7. If you round up that figure, it comes to 5 constituencies. They already have five constituencies. They cannot get another one. Leaders in this House want to mislead people. Get the population of your county and you subject it to that figure. If you are left out in these 70 constituencies, come up. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I can hear Members telling me to talk about my county. I am a nationalist. I am talking about Kenya, but not Mwea Constituency, Kirinyaga County or Murang’a County. I am talking about Kenya and how this formula was subjected to arrive at the constituencies that we have. We will go to the constituencies of those Members who are shouting here and telling me to talk about some counties. We shall tell people the truth. We shall tell them that this is scientific, but not about politics or hypothesis. We know that. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Constituencies were added in this country in 2010. We ended up with some constituencies with three wards and others with eight wards. This is what we are trying to correct. Progressively, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: we will one day have model constituencies which will be equal and share resources in the right way. We acknowledge that we have the geographical area to consider. This is why some of us are great proponents of the Equalisation Fund. We can use it to ensure that those constituencies that are disadvantaged by area are also catered for in other areas. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I look at Kenya where our businessmen and women, and farmers will be taken care of in future. I look at a day when our businessmen and women who sell things to the Government will not wait for payment until they are put into pending bills. They will be paid within 60 days. That will be a great moment in this country. I look at a country where the youth will be taken care of and considered. Some Members have talked about the suffering in the country which I acknowledge. I know we are considering this Bill at a time ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I look at a case where the youth in Mwea Constituency will no longer wait to get information from people in Nairobi on contracts nationally and in the county. They will have incubators where they can walk in. There will be youth centres where they can walk in, get information, fill in and participate in contracting like any other Kenyan. That is empowering the youth. Our people will have the required shilling in the pocket that some Members keep on talking about every time. They talk about it and walk out. Some of them do not even wait to hear ... view

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.95. We have all spoken and some of us have taken the vaccine. We know the benefits because everybody has talked about it. We are saying the same thing because you and the Leader of the Majority Party have given us very good direction. Also, the President of this country is leading and giving us direction unlike in other countries where there are problems. So, what we have spoken is enough and we can move to the next agenda after my brother KJ finishes speaking. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the first Petition by my brother, Hon. Munene Wambugu, the Member for Kirinyaga Central. I am familiar with the location that has been referred to. That is where my in-laws come from. This is a major concern. Having two factories erected at the same area and targeting the same farmers could easily result to a conflict. That needs to be looked at seriously. I also take note that there has been lack of consultation by some of our parastatals, bodies and institutions in as far as the farmers are concerned. We ... view
