• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you are surprising us today by using names that we hardly use. I want to support. This is similar to the amendment in Clause 25. It takes cognisance of the fact that we have county and national governments. It is bringing inclusivity. view

• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you for the opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not have my card today, but I will make sure I have it next time. I want to add my voice to the debate. First is to congratulate Hon. Injendi for bringing forth this very important Motion. I want to just mention to the Member who has just spoken that this debate is not in vain. It is very timely. We are generating that much needed awareness so that we begin to appreciate the work the village elders are doing as Kenyans. We call them Lugurus in my area. ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: effectively provide these services and take these services closer to the people? They need to be comfortable and they need to be supported by the Government. Being at the lowest level of national Government administration I have seen that county governments are actually employing what they call “village administrators” and these men and women will be on their payroll. They will be paid salaries. So, village elders are actually the face of national Government at the very lowest level of national Government administration. We must recognize them and I think it is important that the village elders; the Lugurus are ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I speak as a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. We visited the site where KPA wants to develop the second terminal. I think we need to understand why. One of the reasons they gave is that KPA would like to expand capacity beyond demand. It is part of KPA’s strategy and continued effort to expand cargo handling capacity at the port. We are all aware that KPA is one of the key institutions, in line with Vision 2030, that is meant to drive the economy of this country. Besides ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: However, we asked questions with respect to the financing. Our Committee referred this Motion to the House so that the representatives of the people can give it an approval. What this Motion is asking is for the Government to approve that borrowing because when the Government approves the borrowing then it is going to be a guarantor for the borrowing. So, our concern as a Committee given our debt levels was: Is KPA as an organisation financially stable? How sound are their financial statements? Are they able to repay the loan? Have they gone through due diligence to make sure ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I must, from the outset, congratulate Hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo for this very important Motion. Our lives and health depend on a clean environment. If there is one thing we can leave as a legacy for this nation, it is a legacy of healthy future generations. There is a slight awareness towards the importance of a clean environment and increasing levels of pollution. That is one very important aspect this Motion attempts to address. It is a very important Motion and it should be extended so that whatever legislation we develop is extended to our ... view
