• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Sorry, it is Question No.208/2018. view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Energy: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that one, Sumoo Lemuna, a minor from Wamba East Ward in Samburu East had her hand amputated as a result of electric burns from unattended low-lying power cables on the Wamba – Suswa high transmission power line by the contractor? b) Could the Ministry consider waiving the hospital bills incurred by the family as a result of this accident and further compensate the family of the girl for the damages? c) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Our elderly people are suffering. What the Government has done is very good, but in reality we have lost very many elderly people in the process. In my constituency, some of the elderly use motorbikes to access this money. You can imagine hiring a motorbike at Kshs1,500 and you are going for Kshs2,000. The people are suffering. I have visited the centres several times and it could be that those who pay the elderly people are very corrupt. If we are not careful, they will take 50 per cent of the money. I do ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. Our children are going through so many problems. Their being imprisoned with adults is not the solution. The rehabilitation centres are there to correct behaviour and must be improved. When one is taken for that sort of correction, they are not meant to suffer. These centres ought to be allocated with resources so that children do not suffer during the correction period. Our schools have so many challenges which cause the students to do wrong. This is not to say that they have to ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. We agree that there are victims of sexual harassment. This centre is very important. It will help. However, I hold a different opinion because if we say that we are going to create so many centres, we are going to be a country of centres on papers because implementation will be a problem. It is not only sexual harassment that traumatises an individual. I believe in Kenya there is no crisis when it comes to sexual harassment. Recently, in this House, we passed the creation of some centres. If we just propose ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to contribute to the amended form of the Motion. Sports are very important activities for the youths in Kenya. The youths are always crying for stadia in our constituencies. They want to be supported to have these facilities. We know that it is not possible to have them in every region. As the Member proposed in the amendment, it is important and necessary to have at least one national rugby stadium for the teams in the country, so that we develop the sport. It will help us. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We need to support any activity that will help the youths. It is very bad when we have so many youths who are not employed and they also lack the facilities. Sports will help the youths to grow economically. They will create some jobs for the youths. It is a very important activity that will help our youths. We pass so many things here but they are not implemented. There are youth centres which were supposed to be put up for the youths according to the Constitution. However, we do not have them. After we support and pass this Motion, ... view

• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to support this Bill. There are so many underlying issues in our counties. Since we devolve all these functions, there are many issues that we need to look at. There are issues of preschools. In some of the counties, there are places where children learn under trees, yet preschools are devolved. It is important and necessary to review what we have done before. If the counties are not able to implement some functions that they are given, it is high time this House considers recalling some functions. Although we are giving ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: oil they have, but we did not manage. Some counties are in a pathetic situation. We bring our children to Nairobi to see a tarmac road. In other places there is nothing like electricity, yet we say that Kenya is connected to the national grid. We have that problem and let us look at how money is being used in the counties. It is very important for governors to have their priorities right. We also need to empower the Senate. Senate is always complaining that they are not able to monitor how the money is being used because they do ... view
