• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: This will not be achieved if we do not have clear policies and laws governing the usage, development and management of water in this country. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The water that was discovered in Turkana County will possibly feed this country for about 70 years. There is need for a proper policy on how to tap that potential and develop that resource so that we can develop as a country. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my final point is on the issue of conflict resolution arising from this limited resource. This is under Clause 27. We are having many conflicts even between counties. You have heard Murang’a County say that Ndakaini Dam water will not be supplied to Nairobi. You have also heard the TaitaTaveta County say that the water from Mzima Springs should not go to Mombasa County. The people of Kajiado have said that the Nol-Turesh water that comes from my constituency should not go to Makueni County, Machakos County or any other county. I think that is very wrong ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: If this Bill is passed, the clause on dispute resolution mechanism will be very important. This is in ensuring that there is harmony among counties and in the country. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to second this Bill. view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I really do not know whether my point of order is still valid because I wanted to raise it before my good friend hon. Mule completed his request. Although this matter on Ebola is important, you will agree with me that towards the last week of the last Session before we went for the six weeks break, there was a similar Motion for Adjournment whereby this House was discussing about Kenya Airways suspending flights towards the Ebola -hit region. The issue of Ebola that time was adequately canvassed. I do not think the two months will guarantee Standing ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also really want to raise my voice in support of this Motion, and first of all make a clarification regarding what hon. Nicholas Gumbo was moving. He talked of the Leaders of the Majority and Minority Parties being given one hour and five minutes. That means less time than that for any other Member speaking. I have had to look at the Motion and it is 105 minutes. That means one hour and 45 minutes for the Leader of Majority Party and Leader of Minority Party. Hon. Speaker, just for the attention of the Members, ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: reduced but in this case, what is happeing is unprecedented. I believe it is worth it, and I request the House that we approve this Procedural Motion and move on. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion. First of all, I congratulate the mood of the House. The ten days we have been on recess have been so good and we are really here to transact business as Kenyans. On this particular nominee, the Director-General of NIS, I also want to agree with my colleagues in the Committee that this nominee has impressive credentials, both academic and otherwise. If you look at his three masters degrees, they are all in security matters. They are not just about security, but security intelligence. Of the 36 years he ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it really shows that we are colleagues and we have really missed each other in the last ten days. That is why the consultations are so intense. I was saying that the Immigration Department, with the newly nominated Director-General, who is also from the military--- Also with the ongoing reforms in the Police Department and public sector, I do believe that the NIS is going to have a face; it is going to continue doing a very good job. I am sure that we are going to secure the borders of this country as well as the lives ... view
