• 25 May 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, mine is very simple. I know we are talking about what is going on in the country. The Chair mentioned something earlier on about reducing the costs and making food more available. He talked about things like unga . This has to do with the implements that you use to cook ugali. This is to make sure that the clean cook stoves and the materials for making them are more affordable. This will ensure that women in places like Kibra, Korogocho and Kawangware have cheaper cook stoves that are cleaner and more efficient. They will save ... view

• 25 May 2017 in National Assembly: Mine has to do with implements you use in turning that flour into ugali. These are cooking stoves that are energy efficient; clean jikos which use little fuel. They are cleaner and better for our mothers who are mostly the people who cook in our communities. In the low income communities, you want energy efficient jikos to be very affordable and accessible. That is the point. If we make raw materials for making these items cheap as per this amendment, then the finished products will be availed to the poor people at a lower price. view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I congratulate and acknowledge the great work that has been done by Hon.

I think trade is actually one form of war if you do not think about it strategically as a country. In Kenya, we need to look at it along with how we control dumping ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by saying a big thank you to PAC, led by Hon. (Eng.) Gumbo, for doing a thorough Report. Many people doubted that this Report would see the light of day. I am relieved and encouraged to see the Report has made it to be debated in the open. I hope it will be put in simple PDF format so that it can be shared widely for Kenyans to read and for it to go as a document of a shameful scandal in our history. We must make a choice as a ... view
