• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I have the microphone. I agree with all the Members who have said that COVID-19 is a public health case. It is not a police case. Contact tracing should fall under the Ministry of Health and not where it is right now. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to restrict myself to the Bill. Gideon Keter, this is wonderful. The reason why I support this Bill—and there are some areas you really need to think through—is that the youth are going through what they are going through because there is no functioning, well-oiled Council to articulate, advocate and defend and sometimes go to court for legal redress when their rights are tampered with. That is missing. If I look at the principal objective of your Bill, it is trying to address that by having the right membership ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even if all the Cabinet Secretaries are young people, it will not address the problem youths are facing. What will, is the sensitivity of what young people are going through and the framework of addressing them from the grassroots to the national level. We have a good example of a young Cabinet Secretary who is now facing legal issues. The issue of integrity, vision and commitment comes from the grassroots level. Even us who are past the youth age can still consider ourselves current youth. I am a father of a youth and I am sensitive ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let it go on record that Ndhiwa Constituency and my family condole with the family of the late President. One thing which should go to all our hearts is what Moi did. English expresses it in a more specific way and so, let me quote: “A real President says I am sorry.” Let this be our experience as we go on uniting this country through the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). view

• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: (Ndhiwa, ODM); Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am amased when the Committee says there is Kshs700 billion that will take us 11 or 12 years, if we go the way we are going now. If the Bill before us cures this, I support it. I want to relate this to my constituency where the Board did a survey as indicated. Up to date, because of the relationship between the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: National Treasury and the Roads Board, nothing has been done completely. For those roads that were sponsored by the Board, the contractors have not been paid and many projects have stalled. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: This is a serious issue and, as it has been stipulated, I think we should go this way. We should invest in bonds and then translate them as we implement projects. I think this is a good thing to do. It also needs to be explained to us in more detailed terms how it will work, especially with the development partners like the World Bank. For those who have studied this extensively, if we go this way, we need assurances on how it will work and how the money will be borrowed and implementation done without a hitch using the ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: We have just heard about money being denied to counties because of pending bills. We have been told there are pending bills of Kshs81 billion at the National Treasury. I tend to wonder what authority they have to detain money and, at the same time, they are not paying their bills. This is worrying to me. view
