• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if the Hon. Member wants information, we will avail it to the Chair of the Committee. Though, I think he has it. It is sometimes good to thank someone who has done a good job. This Government may not have done 100 per cent, but in the five years it has been in power, it has constructed more roads than the previous Government. This was the promise given by the President. I was the Chairman of Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and I made sure that there was equal distribution in the construction ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I thank the Chair because he has managed to do something I was unable to do. I was unable to bring the governors to agree on this Bill. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: My friend there knows that we did a lot of work with that money. The other Hon. Member should know that I did not lose the election. If I lost, I would not be in this House. I am here because I did not lose. We are now together here and I am a Chairman of another Committee – He is not Chairman of any Committee! view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I would like the Chairman of the Committee to look at the issue of contractors. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: We have a major problem in the area of contractors. I urge the Chair to be extremely careful about the people who are given contracts. When I toured most of the road projects, everybody was requesting for Chinese contractors. Our people at the grassroots have lost confidence in our local contractors. When a local contractor is awarded a contract, first, if one had a debt, they service it then use the remaining money to construct the road. At the end of the day, most of the roads done by our Kenyan contractors are not completed on time. That is a ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to raise another point. I was the Chair of Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing for five years and interacted very well with Members. Members would canvass for certain contractors to be awarded contracts. That is where we go wrong as a House. The moment we push for a contractor to be awarded a tender in our constituencies and he does not perform, we will not be able to discipline them. How I wish the Chairman could listen to this because this is an area I used to get a lot of pressure from Members. ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you should have given me another 10 minutes because I was the Chairman of the Committee which has fronted this Bill. He has just taken the chairmanship from me. view

• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: important Motion. It has come at a time when we are in this House, and mostly the side of Jubilee, as elected Members of Parliament and our victory was snatched from us. So, we have a duty as a coalition to go out there. I would plead to our side that we incorporate all other players. Let us not be selfish. That just because we have been elected, we fail to incorporate those we were competing together because by doing that, people would not come out to support our President. We need each and everybody especially those people who also ... view
