  • 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: They do not have a standing committee on lands. It is the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Senate that is discussing matters on land. What has PAC got to do with lands? What I am talking about must be addressed for posterity. There are people who are going to serve in these Houses after us. There must be a committee that is formed within both houses to address this matter. State officers are defined in Article 260. A Senator is a State officer. He is a Member of Parliament and a state officer. That means we should form a ... view
  • 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: interest of counties. Period! In the last Parliament, they were investigating Kenya Airways (KQ). Have you seen KQ flying to Migori or to Kakamega? This is a national asset. The other day, they were investigating Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC). What business does KPC got to do with the Senate? The other day, they were calling these independent offices: the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and other bodies. This is a House that has gone rogue and we must put sense into their heads. I am not going to pass that route going into my office. ... view
  • 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: in the villages. They are saying they cannot look at our Bills until we pass that money. That is holding us hostage. It is blackmail. Very soon, before a Bill is brought to this House to wind up the Senate, it is better they behave. I am foreseeing a situation where this House will wind up the Senate. We just pass the Bill and send it to the President for assent. Before we go there because we want devolution to work, they need to know where their jurisdiction begins and ends. Let us form a team from this House and ... view
  • 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: ( Off record) view
  • 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: (Suna East, ODM) view
  • 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Motion. This is a very important and timely Motion. I thank the Leader of the Minority Party and the party sponsoring the Motion. view
  • 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Migingo Island has been an issue in the country for many years. People might see that it is a small place that does not matter whether it is in Uganda or in Kenya. This is an indication of abdication of responsibility by the Government to protect its territories. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can tell you for sure that if this piece of rock was in some part of the country that I know of, the country would have gone to war by now. If the rock was in Mount Kenya or in the Rift Valley, where the President and ... view
  • 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I talked about regions not communities, but when you take care of animals or cattle, you always think of communities because it is communities that steal animals from others. He is still in Kajiado and not in Parliament. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
  • 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I said that if Migingo Island were to be in a certain region, we would have had war with Uganda by now. The Government has neglected the fishing industry in the region we represent. In terms of policy, instead of the Government focusing on how to revive the fishing industry at the Lake so that it can have enough fish that can satisfy the market, what do they do? They start telling people to have fish ponds in Nyeri, Nakuru and Kakamega, places where there are no lakes. view
  • 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: That piece of rock known as Migingo is so important to the fishing community that without it there will be no fishing in that lake. I travelled during the campaign of the last elections with Hon. Millie to her constituency. We flew to four or five islands to seek votes. There are serious Kenyans there doing serious fishing business in the islands. The way Uganda Government protects its islands in the Lake Victoria is not the same way our country protects its islands in the Lake. view
