• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I want to start by congratulating the Chairperson of this Committee, Hon. (Eng.) Gumbo and his Committee for the good work they have done. They have pulled out all the key issues that are worrying to all Kenyans. When I read the Report, I saw that one of the issues that delayed the tabling of this Report is lack of co-operation from the Accounting Officers, who kept on postponing the meetings. Matters accounts, finance and accountability are so serious that we cannot allow non-co-operation to hinder the process. I ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was talking about the pending bills, the excess expenditure and wastage of public funds in the ministries, departments and agencies.

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and to thank Hon. Neto for actually thinking of a way to operationalise the Bill that we passed three years ago. It was an emotive Bill and many people were waiting to see it in force. Hon.

When I grew up as a ... view

• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, aware that the use of illicit alcohol and abuse of drugs has reached alarming levels and caused untold suffering to individuals and families throughout the country; further aware that consumption of illicit brew has claimed over 7,000 lives in the last four years; alarmed that the long term impact is detrimental to the socio-economic development of the state; concerned that most rehabilitation centres are in private hands and thus quite expensive for the common Kenyan to afford, particularly the recovering former alcoholics who have benefitted from the recent crackdowns on illicit brews; noting that there is no specific policy ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the mediated version of the Water Bill, 2015.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: the process was. The mediation has synchronised the Bill with the Constitution. It is a long awaited Bill which has taken close to two years. There is a lot of anxiety in the water industry among the stakeholders, the Ministry and other people. We are happy that we are finally there. view
