• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the Kshs60 million allocated to Suswa-Ewaso-Kimuka-Ngong Road. Though it is not much, it is going to really do some work on that road and then, maybe, we will need to upgrade it later. The Kshs500 million that was given to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) is quite welcome and I appreciate. You remember we have the drought that is in and out. It is good time now we fully capacitate KMC and even support the abattoirs at the county levels to make that functioning. Finally, because of time, there is need to ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have five minutes to second this Motion. I will just speak about three aspects. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the President and the Jubilee Administration for the effort it has taken to increase the number of police officers above the internationally required standard of 1 to 450, to 1 to 380. That has really helped in securing our country through a well-coordinated multiagency approach that ensures public safety and security. Very importantly, is the Jubilee Administration‘s vision for an industrialized Kenya. I want to thank the President and his Government ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: In that strong foundation of putting Kenya in the path of being an industrialized nation, 1,500 new multinationals have entered Kenya against only 40 that have left. Due to that micro and macro-economic stability, the Jubilee Administration has realized that the youth are the drivers of innovation. In this regard, in the last four years, the Government has given Kshs11 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: billion to the youth to do business. Still on the path of being an industrialized country, the foundation has been laid very well by the Uhuru-led Government and, as a result, this country has, for the first time, been ranked the third most improved country with regard to ease of doing business for the last two consecutive years. Through the expanded economy that has improved infrastructure, 1,950 kilometres of roads have been tarmacked and 7,000 kilometres - as said by His Excellency the President in his Speech - are in the stages of construction. That is commendable and will lay ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: The issue of access to energy, particularly electricity and diversification of energy in this country, has enabled about 3.7 million homes to be connected to electricity. That is more than double the total number of connections that have been made since Independence. About 14,045 schools have been connected with electricity. About 95 per cent of our schools have been connected to electricity, some through the grid and others through solar connection. That is a good progress that the Jubilee Administration has made in the last four years. In the education sector, the Jubilee Administration has been market and technology- oriented. ... view

• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: (c) good governance, integrity, transparency and accountability; and (d) sustainable development. I am mentioning these things so that I bring to the attention of the House the fact that this is a very big report because it is trying to address all those things. We may not do justice to this Report in 10 minutes and so, I invite Members to read it in detail. Hon. Speaker, in promoting the realisation of the national values and principles of governance, the Government has initiated several measures, especially through the State Department of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government, which undertook a ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) countries, is a threat to regional and peace integration. The policy also aims to project Kenya’s image, prestige and promote multilateralism. In the last one year, we have seen many Heads of State visiting this country from the time the report was tabled by His Excellency the President in March last year. We recorded the highest number and that has helped in projecting Kenya’s image internationally. This House has pronounced itself severally on the ratification of treaties which have been brought by the Executive, as required by the law, for them to become legal and ... view

• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. Before I move this Bill, let me just make one point. I would like to inform Members that I withdrew the proposed amendments relating to the Copyright Act, No.12 of 2001 as contained in the Bill. They were replicated in the other Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (No. 45 of 2016), which is awaiting the Committee Stage before this House. Therefore, I want to proceed with the Second Reading of the Bill without moving the section that I withdrew. Hon.
