• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to seek your guidance because the matter that is under discussion, which is this Motion that is very important on bilateral treaties, brings to mind the notion that our President came here recently and gave three reports to Parliament; the State of the Nation, National Security Report and the Status of our International Obligations. We only had one chance to discuss the State of the Nation Address in general, but we did not have a chance yet to discuss the two other reports. I note that the Senate has already had a chance to ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: No, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Chairman is doing a fantastic job. I respect him highly and he is an example to the other Chairmen. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this proposal to approve the bilateral agreements of air services between Kenya, Canada, Mozambique, Angola and the State of Kuwait. I would also like to urge that in that spirit, given the comments made by the last Member, the Uwezo Fund, though it has been launched, the money has not reached the ground. So, our young people who are eager to do businesses, export and import things from the countries which we will be trading with, do not have the money. So, it is in this spirit that I ask all ... view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. A few weeks ago, and during the last Session, I requested a Statement from the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare about young people who get employed by the Government and go beyond the six months probation period as stipulated in the law. I have not got a response and that is what I am waiting for. I was promised, the last time this Statement was asked, that I would get a response within two weeks. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is completely out of order for hon. Ichung’wah to claim that the resettlement process has achieved a lot and we should be satisfied. I know for sure that the violence of 2007/2008 in my constituency of Kibra, not even one person has been resettled, integrated, or has received any support from the Government; this is the fourth--- view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Ongoing where? It is not ongoing in Mathare or Kibra. Kibra is in Kenya. So, as a matter of fact, if he is purporting to defend the Government, let him give us facts and produce documents to show that there are people in Kibra who have been resettled. Giving of the Kshs400,000 to IDPs which the President spoke of in his Speech, as an accomplishment of his Government--- The Jubilee Government has not given anybody even one shilling. Why the discrimination? You are not uniting the country. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to comment on the President’s Speech. The first part of it that I will touch on is international relations. In terms of our foreign policy, the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta has not done enough. We are letting our partnerships and diplomatic relations with countries such as the European Union (EU) to falter and that is not going to help us very much. We know that organizations and partners such as the EU have been funding road construction in many parts of the country outside Nairobi and if we do not make good friendly ... view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I was completely on topic and I think she is out of order. If she goes to page nine of the President’s Speech, she will know what I am talking about. I think some Jubilee Members were so bored by the Speech, they did not hear it and they did not read it afterwards. No wonder they stop me from talking about it. I read it and I have it. Let us come back to domestic issues. The Jubilee Government and the Uhuru Government has shown itself as not being committed. I might say as hating our women, children and ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Bill as it has gone through. view
