• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand to support this Petition by Hon. Duale. Even as I do so, I take note that our Committee made a visit to Dadaab and heard from the community the challenges they go through. It is true that we have a lot of challenges there especially on double registration. The youth that were looking for opportunities registered as refugees and now they want to get back their national ID cards. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: As we support this Petition, we want to take note that this is a challenging area and it is only fair for the Committee be given enough time to look at the Petition and come up with recommendations that will also balance out... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to not only congratulate you, but also let you know that we are solidly behind you on this coronation. Those Members who have spoken before me have congratulated you in a good manner. Some do not understand what it means for you to be in the position you are in. I want to let them know that leadership in our region traditionally is bottom-up. You are recognised in your area and in the next one until you become a leader of the whole region. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: As an elder in the region, I saw it coming. When you and I went to Mwea Constituency in 2018, I told you that was the beginning of a journey that we now see where it is going. I want to let people know that when a cultural group like Njuri-Ncheke recognises you and calls for a cultural ceremony but not a political one as many want to convert it, it is taken seriously. It should not be taken lightly because they have taken time to identify you among many. I have listened to others who think that you have ... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: We are ready to talk to anyone and discuss issues. However, they should not politicise this particular issue. We know that we have the President who is the party leader of Jubilee Party and the head of our region. The party leader said that he will identify slowly the person whom he will work with because a wise man in a family always has a young one. In our Kikuyu language we say that, “ Kiugo gitari njau ni guthira githiraga .” That means that if there are no young ones, that community perishes. We see where we are headed ... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: 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
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On the issue of respect to one another, it is high time this House walks the talk. We have now started to see people going to other people’s constituencies and hurling a lot of insults. When we come here and are expected to sit, talk, and eat together with these people, I do not think it is fair. I say this because I know I have visitors coming to my constituency on Sunday. I went on air and said I welcome them and I will be with them in church, but because they did not expect it, they have now ... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, please lead us. Let people walk the talk. When they are in media or out there, let them be themselves. They were elected to represent people out there and they hear. I know like now there are many people watching and listening to us. They are listening as we say that you are there and will be representing so and so. That is not the case. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I congratulate you and we are behind you. We will be with you to the end. We call upon those you are doubting us to join us as we walk this journey. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, and may God bless you abundantly. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and congratulate the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security for providing real leadership in coming up with this amendment. I can confirm, as a Member of that particular Committee that we met several groups and people who enriched what was initially drafted. Drug production, consumption, possession and trafficking has increased and advanced in terms of handling and people developing mechanisms for evading arrests and manipulating our law enforcement institutions. Therefore, the existing law cannot handle the present day drug trafficking, production, handling and consumption ... view
