You need to have understood the Kenyan Sign Language from the word go. The private sector should also be compelled to employ a specialist to give service to people with disabilities. Just like they employ the rest of the employees, they should always have a slot for a sign language interpreter to serve that group of people. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I support this amendment. view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Water Bill, 2014. It is a very important Bill. Water is a very important resource in our country and majorly it concerns very much those people who come from the rural areas of this country. When we talk of water, it is a resource that has even caused so many conflicts in some areas. It is a resource that many people compete for. view

I really support the issue of forming this Water Authority but looking at it, I was thinking that we shall also need to possibly come up with an amendment to also make communities with this resource to be involved in these boards or in this Authority. view

• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also join hands with my other colleagues to express my displeasure with those who never turned up this morning. I was here very early in the morning from Kajiado. I wanted to get answers from the Committee on Education to which I am a Member. I was expecting answers to questions which were raised through the Committee by different citizens of this country. I am of the opinion that the Cabinet Secretaries should appear before the Committee of this House. Some of them are used to our Committees. They are familiar with Committee Chairs and ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is my colleague in order to say that this Bill is half-baked?
