• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. The reform process is iterative. It is never a one task and we are on that reform path. Secondly, you appreciate that in the spirit of devolution, we have said that State organs shall be devolved. We want devolved decision- making. In the rural areas, we do not have decision making in traffic matters. You also appreciate how this section of the police has become very lucrative to the advantage of a few privileged. So, it is on that account that I support this amendment. It will go a ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to borrow from the language of my seniors and persuade the Chairman of the Committee to withdraw this bit of the amendment. The big question here is concentration. I remember driving while I was seeing things, but I still rolled. You can remain awake while the brain is sleeping. Driving requires concentration. Doing the same thing for eight hours is, in itself, overstretching. Putting it to 12 hours is jeopardising the lives of Kenyans. Of course, this will create employment and, slightly, undermine the profits of my friend, hon. Emilio Kathuri. Therefore, I ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I propose that this amendment that we have just passed be recommitted at the end. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 36 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “five thousand” and substituting therefor the words “two thousand”. We know that these are people who are struggling and much as we want to discourage them from being reckless, we also want to be mindful of their capacities. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for bringing the Bill to the House, taking cognizant of the fact that our road infrastructure is improving fast. With the measures proposed in this Bill, we want to see a very safe country and a fast-growing economy. Thank you. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Minister and Mr. Midiwo for their efforts to streamline the traffic industry. I want to say that we have tried very much to be lenient to motor cyclists, who are a very strong emerging industry in this country. I still feel we were a little harsh. Maybe six months down the line we could consider their fines, because these are struggling youths of this country who are prone to mistakes. In future, we could consider reducing the fines from Kshs10,000 to Kshs5,000. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very disappointed with the answer given by the Assistant Minister because he is just glossing on generalities without specifics. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are aware that there are certain counties that have gone beyond Class C of upgrading. They are now dealing with Class E. We want to know because the economy of Turkana, recently, with the discovery of oil, shows the potential. This road is in a pathetic condition. The economy of Homa Bay County is also showing some potential. However, the Oyugis-Homa Bay-Roliko Punch Road, which is Class C road, remains untarmacked. It ... view

• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to support this Motion. It is time we got back only to the naturally displaced persons view
• 12 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 4th September, 2012, hon. James Rege sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Environment and Natural Resources, and the Deputy Leader of Government Business undertook to ensure that the Statement is delivered today. It was in connection with the water hyacinth that is chocking Lake Victoria. It is an issue which is really threatening the lives of the people living around Lake Victoria. view
