• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I do not wish to engage the Chair but two people spoke before me. I request that we continue. I appreciate the Chairman of the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing for the commendable job they have done. The Chairman indicated that he was Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for four years. I wish to point out that he was a CEO, courtesy of former Vice- President Kalonzo Musyoka, the appointee having been a Member of the Orange Democratic Movement-Kenya (ODM-Kenya) elected in 2007. One of the things we need to put on the national highways being managed by KeNHA ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I am the Member for Embakasi South Constituency and this area includes Mukuru kwa Njenga and Mukuru kwa Reuben. I know Kileleshwa, Mukuru kwa Reuben, Lavington, Karen and Mukuru kwa Njenga are in Nairobi. We have been neglected because if you look at the leafy suburbs they have roads, but we do not have roads in Mukuru kwa Njenga, Mukuru kwa Reuben and Kware. I am looking forward to working with your Committee. I say that my constituency is neglected because we do not have tarmac roads. We only have a 1.4 kilometers tarmac road in the entire constituency called ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I believe you are putting together a good Bill and we will support it and appreciate the fact that you retained the KeRRA and added the word “National” to it just as you did to KURA. This is very important because it separates them from the county roads. A member has indicated here that there might be duplication in their functions. I beg to differ because it is important that we retain the three authorities, unless, the Members of Parliament from Nairobi see the need for the separation of those authorities. However, on the issue of moving the various classes ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: In my constituency, I do not have any roads. We walk on matope . We even have an area called Matopeni. This is because people walk on mud. I refer to my constituency as neglected because it is the only constituency in the entire country that has only one Government high school called Embakasi Girls Secondary School and only one public primary school, Njenga Primary School. Yes, we have Our Lady Primary School which also assists and the fee there is fair. I am talking of a place that is totally neglected. I hope the Speaker does not find me ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: order but I hereby invite the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands to visit my constituency so that he can get to see what I am talking about. My people are neglected. I know they do not have good income but we are still Kenyan taxpayers and voters. That one human being who lives in Karen or Runda has the same say when it comes to voting as that person who lives in Mukuru kwa Njenga or Mukuru kwa Reuben. We need to be treated equally. There is a time we talked about equalisation funds. That is another area ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Sessional Paper. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: If our environment was not conducive for our livelihood, we would not exist here. In the past, Al Gore talked about climate change, but we laughed him off. Prof. Wangari Maathai did the same, but we laughed her off. Hon. Michuki did the same, but we laughed him off. So, it is about time that we took stern measures to support and find ways to provide solutions to the effects of climate change. It is about time we took stern measures in support of climate change interventions. Most importantly, we need to ensure that rain water is harvested. We have ... view
