• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this amendment, not because I do not want to support the smaller parties, but because of many other reasons, which means that we will need many other amendments to qualify our support. This will encourage formation and proliferation of many parties and political promiscuity as has been alleged by a person who spoke earlier than me. People will jump from one party to another even three times in a day. While we recognize the existence and need for sustainability of political parties, there is also need for those parties to ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. But most importantly, we need to think about the actions the handlers of the funds will take to protect the funds that Kenyans have entrusted into their hands. Prudence is very critical. Good stewardship and accountability has always been the problem. I support the allocation of funds to the Departments of Justice, the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Public Prosecution Department. If you look at the current state of affairs in Kenya with regard to graft, you will realise that there is every reason to The ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: support these allocations. If this country is serious and committed to justice, integrity and good stewardship of public resources, then the EACC and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) have to be adequately financed. I also want to support the allocation that has been made to the Department for Education because of the need for quality assurance and enhancing access to education. If you look at a county like Turkana where schools are sparsely located, you will find that parents and children have to walk long distances. Some of them miss this free education because there are no schools or ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to look at the regional development authorities whose allocation is a bit inadequate considering the enormous work they do. These are entities that undertake integrated multi-sectoral programmes on behalf of the national Government and these programmes cut across counties. They are very unique entities and they need a lot of money because they accelerate rural development in many ways. They also have strategic plans and have capacity to engage global and international investors and investments. I concur with my colleague, Hon. Metito, on the issue of water and irrigation. If you look at the Galana ... view

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have actually checked Clause 177 and it is exactly the same. It is kind of repeated. I support. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support the amendment because the additional paragraph increases clarity and makes it more explicit and specific. If we leave it as it was, “assignments that can be carried out in substantially different ways” it would remain ambiguous and open to misinterpretation and abuse. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill on Prohibition of Anti-Personnel Mines. Anti-personnel land mines are classified among weapons of massive destruction although in slow motion. They are weapons designed to detonate when triggered by the presence or contact with persons hence causing a lot of damage including death, dismembering, maiming, disabling and destroying. The injuries can blind a person, deafen or even kill, as I said earlier. The Ottawa Treaty signed in 1997 to totally ban anti-personnel mines was a result of the Ottawa peace process which was launched by the Canadian Government in ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I once again want to confirm my support for this Bill. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Public Investments Committee (PIC) Report. I want to congratulate Hon. Keynan and his Committee for the good work. While I laud privatisation for its competitiveness and innovativeness which result from the incentive of profit making, cost effectiveness, efficiency and even reduced public taxation, it is shocking that the privatisation process of Telkom Kenya has failed and resulted in the revelation of a fraud process characterised by insolvency, mysterious players and even conflicts of interest. The genesis of corruption in this country is conflict of interest. It is a shame that some ... view
