• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Government players, namely the Attorney-General, and Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) was also another big mistake. There is also the reduction in public share holding from 49 per cent to 30 per cent, hence even losing eligibility for public audit which is a concern, particularly when we are talking of issues of corruption. Another issue is the commitment of public funds and the loss of over Kshs2.5billion. There is need to know who Alcazar Capital is. We would like to know the extent of Orange’s participation and other mysterious players. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: We all know that communication is very important in investment, security and governance. This is exhibited by the recent appointment of Mr. Nzioka Waita as a strategist in the Communications Unit of the Presidency. That shows the importance of communication in governance and economic growth, which Kenya aspires to achieve. Communication is very important, now that we are talking of fighting terrorism. In emergency preparedness and disaster reduction we need communication. Telkom Kenya was going to be a big player in all the things that we aspire to do as a country. In designing technology, policies and protocols that are ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Being a Member of the Powers and Privileges Committee, my support is fully registered. I support what hon. Wamalwa said that this is for the good of this House. There are many lessons that we need to draw from this Report in terms of mutual respect, confidentiality and equity among Members. We cannot just wish away the breach of privilege that we were investigating as mischief because a Member said that this is trivial. We should think of the damage caused to the Members against whom the allegations were leveled. We should also think of ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank the Mover for donating two minutes to me. I want to congratulate the President for his Speech, for the milestone in our economic growth. Attaining a GDP of US$53.3 billion and a per capita of US$1,246 is good and this has moved us to a middle income country. That has made us one of the fastest growing economies. I want to congratulate the President for that. Nairobi is ranked the most intelligent city in Africa due to the technological advancement and the migration from analogue to digital which has increased the scope ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Kitale-Lokichoggio and Nadapal Roads have become killer roads because of the highway banditry, accidents and the deplorable state of the roads. I wish the Government fast tracks these projects. I want to laud the Huduma centres which are one stop services for Kenyans, where you take a few minutes to get your identity card, National Social Security Fund card and the National Hospital Insurance Fund card. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also want to support the amendment by the Member for Tongaren. The 12 months are against the labour laws. It should be six months or below. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to differ with my colleagues. The Auditor-General should be part of this Board, which oversees the work as a secretary. If the word ―advisory‖ is bringing trouble, then we can change it. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I support what he is saying. That we add ‘without apology’ maybe. view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. Before I make my contribution in support of this Bill, I want to acknowledge the fact that it is true that this Bill needs further amendments. One of them would be to define “terrorism”. As you can see, pastoralists behind me led by hon. Pkosing are wondering whether they are terrorists. Among the issues that will need amendments include the issue of holding public rallies with a permit and the interception of communication, although the Americans and the Chinese are already doing it on us. Why can we not let Intelligence ... view
