• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute to this Motion. We are aware that it is a Procedural Motion, like my colleague has said. It is in compliance with the Constitution, and Members have to vet these nominees through the relevant committees. It is also abundantly clear that the vetting exercise is a continuation of the coronation exercise that we have been seeing. We will not be surprised, without anticipating debate on the report that was tabled yesterday. We do not know the content of the Report, but it is already in the newspapers that the nominees ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: So, my point is that I do not think there is need to extend the time. view

• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I find the language of my colleague talking about funerals in this House foul. But, I am glad he switched to the language he understands best. We can know why he could not proceed in Queen’s Language; it is an indication... view

• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I contribute to this Motion, let me take this opportunity to make my maiden speech to thank the great people of Uriri for seeing it wise to send me to this great House to represent them. The constituency I come from is sharply divided along clan lines and historical voting which has left it more divided than united. But for the first time in history, someone like me whose clan members are not even enough to fill one polling centre was able to get this opportunity. When I looked at how the voting ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: On this Motion, my constituency borders Awendo Constituency which hosts the South Nyanza Sugar Company. I rise to support this Motion on the following grounds: Today, SONY Sugar Company is only crushing 40 per cent of its capacity and only producing about 35 per cent of sugar. In fact, if it were not that the Government continues to send money to SONY Sugar Company, they would probably have closed shop. Many people from the area derive their livelihoods from the SONY Sugar Company and many other sugar factories. It is quite amazing when you look at the people who have ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support this Motion fully. It was raised by my colleague who is the Chair of the caucus and we are waiting to come up with an Act which will be implemented. We want to urge the Government to move with speed to investigate some of these guys who are setting up factories to hoodwink us, but turn out to be a very heavy cartel of big people in this country and very highly placed in this Government who import sugar, bring it to the factories, repackage it and supply it to the local ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: I want to support this Motion and urge my colleagues from the sugar industry to work very closely, and ensure that there is a Bill that will help us in this regulation. If the Government delays, some of our constituents will be affected by this regulation. We might at some point be forced to close these factories, especially the private millers. If they are not using the licence which they obtained to carry out sugar milling, perfecting the art of sugar importation and killing the local industries and render our farmers poorer and our youths jobless, we might be forced ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: With those very many remarks, I beg to support the Motion, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
