• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: So, it is important that our country has an inter-agency kind of working so that even as we have those kinds of services, they do not work alone but have that kind of backup so that they deal with those who infiltrate into their systems rendering such services useless. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The KEBS is well supported. We have invested a lot as a country, but we can never be sure. Even the water in front of us here, we are not sure if it is100 per cent pure or cleared by KEBS, simply because people out there have infiltrated KEBS work rendering it almost useless as one may want to refer to it. Therefore, we need to create this kind of a service using a Bill and once it is passed, we ensure the subsidiary regulations are water-tight and are able to guide the way this service will be operated. That ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: By having a credible accreditation service, we will create international confidence. Our goods will get markets out there. There will no longer be fear that if you buy goods from Kenya, you cannot be sure whether they are accredited or not or, if they have passed through the right processes. This is the impression out there, because of our current weaknesses in ensuring the standards of our goods. People out there are afraid of buying our goods and that is why we end up getting low markets. The international markets are afraid of buying our goods and services. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support this Bill and hope as we do so, the body that will be established by this Bill will find it necessary to work with other agencies in this country. This will ensure we are protected. Intelligence will be collected to ensure that this service operates in the intended manner. I second this Bill. view

• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: This goes to my senior, Hon. Chris, who is my mentor. Something happened in this country. Legal Notice No. 15 was passed in 2015 to implement the Strategic Food Reserve Trust Fund. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I want to let my brother, Hon. Wamalwa, know that with the challenges we have with maize production in this country, many people are now turning to rice. We are researching on how to make porridge and ugali from rice. We are moving on. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I want to support this Bill. We know very well that devolution is working and we are devolving more resources to our counties. I want to commend our national Government for providing the necessary environment that has enabled many development partners to invest heavily in this country. The distribution of resources by development partners is assumed to be independent, in the sense that development partners decide where to put their money. Having worked with a development partner, I know that there is some influence in the distribution of those resources, even at the development partner level. It is therefore important ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I have gone through this Report and I am surprised that in climate-smart agriculture, my county is missing in that allocation yet my county is agriculturally rich. I expected that there would be some allocation. I also notice that in urban development, whereas some counties were allocated under Kshs50 million, we have other counties getting over Khshs1 billion. If I go to the Kenya Urban Roads Authority, I may find that the same counties have a greater share. They have a greater share when it comes to development partners and our development kitty. This will cause great disparity in the ... view
