• 2 May 2018 in National Assembly: Yes. It is 3rd May 2018. Are we not having a Morning Sitting? Hon. Members, you know I always keep these things close to my heart. I know the House Business Committee passed a resolution that there will be a Morning Sitting tomorrow at 9.30 a.m. Therefore, you know your Speaker always has these things at his fingertips. As you know, it is His Excellency the President to interchange between English and Kiswahili. So, he was not out of order. view
• 2 May 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, this House stands adjourned. Every Member and our guests are invited for a cocktail at the Front Yard of Parliament. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to add my voice to this debate on the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill. First of all, I commend the entrepreneurial spirit of Kenyans. For a long time now, this city of Nairobi has been run by the enterprise of the Kenyan people, namely, the matatu transport system, the boda boda and TukTuk operators, taxis and now Uber that has come into the grid. Because of the enterprise of these Kenyans, we have survived in terms of public transport for this long. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Many Members have also remarked and confirmed that this city has grown with those kinds of interventions. We cannot continue to rely on matatus and boda bodas in this city because this is an international city. It is equal to any other city in the world. When I look at the transport sector, there is sufficient money. That is why Uber came and within a very short time, it is thriving to the point that the drivers are buying brand new cars from CMC Motors using money from the Uber business. There is money in the transport sector. What lacks ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in supporting the Copyright (Amendment) Bill, 2017. I do that by alluding to two aspects of the Bill. The first aspect is that this Amendment Bill seeks to remove ambiguity in the copyright area. We have seen that there is a period of about 16 years between the first Act and this Amendment Bill. In between, there has been a lot of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: development and sometimes the words used in the Copyright Bill or Act do not mean the same after 16 years. For instance, 16 years ago we did not have the internet to the extent that we do now. There was no WhatsApp, Facebook or prolific enablement of sharing materials through social media. This Amendment Bill therefore brings clarity into what is meant by the Act and what is not. I will give an example. During the campaign period in my constituency, Mbeere South, I had to deal with a situation where somebody was caught playing online music. The enforcers insisted ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Building Surveyors Bill 2017. This Bill could not have come at a better time. But before I go to it, I would like to explain the work of a building surveyor. To start with, building surveyors ensure that buildings are constructed and completed on time and on budget. They ensure the safety and the security of buildings and the soundness of the constructions. They provide for special requirements such as the provision of access to buildings for people living with disabilities. They also ensure that ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving this opportunity to second the amendment. In seconding it, I find that the Motion as proposed, in the first place, does not have a flowing logic. When I googled, I found out that the number of ambulances in Nairobi is 68 and there are 354 in the whole country. It will not make sense to create a whole lane for 68 vehicles when it is not known whether they are serviceable or not. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I am seconding. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I rise to second that future designs should actually tackle the problem in a more comprehensive manner. In any case, it is not just the emergency or people living with disabilities who require special treatment on the roads. We also require lanes to facilitate the view
