• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am now being told it is sugar. This cancer has claimed lives in this country. If something urgent is not done, many people will lose their lives more than from other diseases that were not treatable when they came to this world. The Senator was a staunch supporter of our party, ODM, and he was a strong leader that all of us relied on for advice. He has been a veteran journalist for more than 15 years. I ask the House to condole with us as Migori people and to make sure that they accord us the necessary support ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, I want to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Chris Wamalwa for opposing. The County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2018 is very important and I stand to support it. Secondly, we must get good time to speak on it. The Senate where this Bill has originated is taking this matter like a ritual. Something they just do for the sake of it because the Constitution requires of them. However, we must agree that there is a problem in this country. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The biggest gift this country gave itself in the new Constitution, 2010 is devolution. The amount of corruption, wastage and public theft that is happening down there is unacceptable. As a country we are focused so much on what is happening at the national level. However, when we go down to the villages unless this matter is arrested and addressed in a serious manner then devolution will become useless in this country. I think this is the sixth year we are passing this kind of a Bill. The Speaker and I were in the last Parliament and we passed the ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: his executive accountable. It is painful that our mothers are still carrying jerricans of water on their backs when we have sent Kshs.10 billion today to different counties. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Yet, they call for a conference every year just to talk about the good things devolution has done. They say they have put murram on several kilometers of roads and devolution is working. Where is devolution working? We have not given ourselves devolution so that we can create 47 billionaires. We brought devolution so the ordinary citizens can benefit from it. Why can the Senate not hold them accountable? After all, they are in place for the interest of counties. They do not have any other business. Which other business does the Senate have in this country other than taking ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Being the Chief Whip of the Minority Party has an advantage. You get to speak earlier. Without wasting my time, I represent farmers who engage in sugarcane farming, fish farming and gold mining. The people who have brought this sugar are not small people. They are not farmers, wholesalers or artisans. They are serious and well-connected businessmen in this country. We are living in a country where institutions work. I do not know why we are beating around the bush. This sugar did not come from the skies. It did not come out of ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: certificate that was issued by KEBS. This is unless we are living in a country like Somalia which has no Government and anybody can bring in anything that he wants. We have been talking about corruption and other things. This is about the health and safety of humanity in this country. We are discussing human life. People are now afraid of taking sugar. They are saying they will die. We have sugar factories that have been collapsed by design and have been intentionally closed down so that people can bring sugar into this country. I have heard of many names. ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: This matter is not about certain communities. This is a matter about the life of Kenyans. If we cannot apprehend and put into custody people who have gone through the Port of Mombasa, then, we have no law enforcement agency. This sugar scandal is not a small matter. I am told that this sugar contains mercury and copper. One of the Members alluded to the fact that mercury is used for making bombs. The AlShabaab uses that to make bombs. If you can consume mercury and you have working institutions in this country, I do not think we have any ... view
