• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very important Motion for me especially with my background on health. The so-called low-income earners are distributed across the country. I would like to see us cut down on the urbanisation of buildings and spread it to the rural areas. The low-income earners host the jobless. In fact, it is the opposite of the affluent community. They can stay with five or 10 people in their houses. I want to encourage the regulation of the houses. For example, you cannot put five or six people or a family in a ten ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Lastly, because I want to yield more time to Members, in Ndhiwa Constituency, 16 per cent of houses still leak because they have thatched roofs. Unfortunately, they belong to widows who host orphans. In my private initiative, I am building a lot of houses for them and I know my friend, Hon. Otiende Amollo, is also building some in Rarieda. I would like a situation where those vulnerable members of the community are also considered as low-income earners because they also earn an income from the roadside while selling vegetables. Let us not define low- income earners only by payroll, ... view

• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I first of all thank the Almighty God, who gave me the opportunity to represent the people of Ndhiwa in this House. Allow me to appreciate all the voters who voted for me in their language, which they understand most. To the women, I say tialala. To all the men who came out and guarded the votes, I say tibim. To all the seniors who braved the chilly weather, I say Kuomi. view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: It is so ordered. Therefore, I will. Allow me to say a few words for those who planted these fruits. As they say, when you pick up fruits, you also have to respect the people who planted the tree. I want to congratulate our first legislator huda thuon gweno . I also want to congratulate Ocholla Mac’Onyango, the late, who was very effective in this House. I also want to honour Hon. Odero Jowi, who followed. I also want to honour Hon. Otieno Ogingo. All these came from Ndhiwa, and they did a wonderful job while in this House. On ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Ndhiwa is a very nice constituency. I welcome all of you to visit us at one time or the other. As for the Motion, I rise to oppose it. Life is important whether it is in the urban area or the rural area. When we talk of additional service lanes, in Ndhiwa, I am losing mothers. We are experiencing maternal and neonatal deaths at the highest rate ever. What would be done to help our traffic and deal with road carnage should be a very well thought out multifaceted agenda. You cannot fix traffic jam in Nairobi or any other ... view
