16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the issue on harmonising issuance of identification documents. This is very important because it will lessen the cost of doing business and acquiring identity cards. In order for one to get an identity card today, one needs to go to various centres. In addition to paying the official fee, one needs to pay individuals in order for the process to take place. Once the proposed system is put in place, corruption fee plus the regular official fee will be lessened. We have to consider places like ...

25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I would like to condole with the families that lost a son from my constituency – Mr. Chrispaul Ng’ang’a. We empathise with them. It is good we are discussing this now because I think this country has over the past, maybe two to three months or so, been embroiled in these security issues. First, I want to stand to support this Motion. It is very important. The Motion actually seeks to have the KPR well armed with valid documents, uniforms and some salary. I support that because as a colleague has ...

I think if he was at Westgate yesterday, he would have a very different view. I am not trying to impugn the police. I am simply trying to state that if the police would be more effective and more courageous in a situation like that, it would not have happened.

25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As, I continue there is need for us to provide the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) with uniforms, to provide them with proper training and to give them a salary so that they will feel committed. When you engage or give people arms to pursue rustlers, people who are heavily armed and maybe even these rustlers have had prior trainings in other countries like Somalia or Ethiopia, it would be impractical to engage a citizen of Kenya and tell them to pursue these people. They need training and some form of compensation in ...

25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for your protection. I am simply saying that we need to build more boarding schools and roads in these areas so that these people may have access to the things that we have; more roads and better schools.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, may I conclude. I do not want to continue taking up too much time knowing that the others will need to speak. It would be very good if we saw this Motion passed and supported so that tomorrow it comes in as a Bill. Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also thank hon. (Dr.) Laboso. Mine will be very brief. If we do not sign these agreements, the consequences could be very devastating. On the other hand, we cannot just blindly sign these agreements because they are lopsided.

4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
For example, the margin on the flower industry is 8 to 10 per cent. If we do not sign these agreements, what will happen is that the duty imposed by the European Union (EU) will be between 10 and 15 per cent. This will wipe out all the margins for the flower

21 May 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, this, by the way, is my maiden speech but I will just take less than three minutes. I stand to support this Motion. I believe that if we take the agro-based parastatals to the counties, they will stand a better chance of being managed properly. Previously, they floundered because they were managed centrally here in Nairobi but if they were managed back at the county level, I believe there will be better and more efficient management. Secondly, I believe that if we take the route of privatization, I do not think anyone at the county level would ...
