• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also support strongly the provision of Kshs5 million to each constituency for the completion of the Economic Stimulus Programme. We have very many well-intentioned projects that were started, but which are still incomplete. Perhaps, they have remained incomplete because of the usual corruption. But this is a good opportunity for us to complete them, so that they can benefit our people as initially intended. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I also strongly support the provision of Kshs7.3 billion to Rural Electrification Authority (REA). REA has been doing a good job. They have done a good job in my constituency, but there is still some incomplete business. I believe that with this kind of money, they will complete whatever is pending and provide development in our constituencies. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is good that you stand up against some of these selfish tendencies. If hon. Mwaura is tired, he can go and have a cup of tea in the restaurant. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: As I was saying, we need to have a level 5 hospital in every county so as to improve service delivery. It will also be cheaper for the citizens in a particular county to go to a referral hospital within that county rather than travel all the way, say, from Busia to KNH in Nairobi or Eldoret. view

• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Today I was also a victim of this lawlessness that happened in Nairobi. A place that normally takes me 20 to 30 minutes at most, took me over five hours. I just could not believe it. I hope this is not something that we want to see repeated. Obviously, there are some challenges and I do hope that those who are charged with the responsibility of managing transport in the City of Nairobi will take their jobs seriously. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we keep talking about Vision 2030 and about the type of transport we should be looking forward to in Nairobi City. But everyday things are getting worse. There is nothing to give us hope that things are getting better so that we can look forward to succeeding in our Vision 2030. Unless we change our approach to certain programmes and services; like the matatu services and the mushrooming of kiosks all over, the Vision 2030 will be a mirage. Let us forget what we see on newspapers about the success or what we look forward to ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not think that most citizens are unhappy to pay or do not support paying levies or taxes. What worries us is paying these taxes or levies; whatever you want to call them, but with no services to show. The taxes or charges go up, but the services keep deteriorating. I think this is where the problem is. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On the other hand, whatever we do must be done within the limits of the law. view
