• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is the Hon. Member in order to say that Kenya Airways has been looted, Mumias Sugar Company has been looted and all parastatals have been looted and that is why we are doing the amendment? Is he in order? Where is evidence? Can he provide evidence? From his statement, he is trying to imply these amendments are coming because parastatals have been looted. Is he in order? view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I oppose this Bill. It has no relevance for it to have been brought here. What we are talking about privatising, apart from Kenya Airways (KQ), are companies like Mumias, Nzoia, South Nyanza, Muhoroni, Miwani sugar companies. These are parastatals not only owned by the Government but the community in which they sit donated land for those factories to be built. It is very wrong for somebody to bring a Bill and say we want to remove Parliament from playing any role in public assets. What is it and where is ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I am saying is that if we pass this Bill the way it has been brought to us, Parliament will have no role. If we pass this Bill the way it is, all those parastatals where people have been negotiating, the cases that are in court may become irrelevant because the process is going through the Cabinet. The Cabinet will approve and then sell the property. That is what this Bill says. It does not say more than that. I am saying we have the Public Investments Committee. It is a constitutional office to oversee ... view

• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me a chance to comment on this. This is a serious issue that is taking place between the Kisii and Kipsigis border. Lives of people have been disrupted. We are a farming community. We rely on farming but more importantly we produce milk. What has happened across the border is that people are not sleeping. They are not carrying out their economic activities. Children are not going to school as they should. Even now you are aware that students have sat for their Form Four exams but at the border area, the students there, ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: What is apparent is that this issue keeps recurring when we approach elections. If you check the calendar to see when we have these clashes, they normally coincide with elections. We have a Government which is responsible for protecting property of citizens at all costs. We are urging, as hon. Members, that the committee concerned recommends strongly given that we are heading for elections, that the General Service Unit (GSU) is permanently based there. The Anti-Stock Theft Unit and the Regular Police should also be there, not only at Ikorongo Location but across the border. We have experienced these issues ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: We are also urging Members to take this issue seriously because the people at the border do not sleep even as I speak. They stay awake with their cows. They do not go to view
