• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Special Economic Zones Bill. I want to draw the attention of the House to a few things that we need to take cognisant of. We need to ensure that inefficiencies and bureaucracies within our systems are properly handled because we need to create an enabling business environment. We need to ensure that we enhance the systems on how we are working within ourselves so that we can also create opportunities. We know that corruption is a serious issue that we have to deal with in this country. If we are going to make ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I humbly beg to oppose because this issue of trying to create harmony is just hoodwinking the public that there is some kind of integrity in the transition period. If we mean to recruit new commissioners, then we do not have any business to do with members of the secretariat who are there. These are the people who misadvised the President, in the first place. Let them go. Let us have a new team. Let us get to work. view

• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Departmental Chair for recognizing that fact and, I think I am very happy about it.

• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This Bill is well thought out. Kenyans must realize that they have an obligation to observe the rule of law in whichever country that they visit. The duty to respect the laws of the countries that we visit is not discretionary. It is obligatory. Therefore, as much as we debate on how we need to repatriate our prisoners to continue serving their sentences in this country, we must also realize that the duty to uphold the rule of law in any country that you visit is so significant and ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: powers are curtailed and checks and balances are put in place to ensure that corruption does not rein in the process. Some of the people who are serving sentences outside this country could find their way into this country and, in a very short period of time, we could find all of them in this country. We must ensure that we put legal road-blocks so that those powers are not abused. Our rights as the citizens of this nation have been abused by some countries, especially in the Middle East. They do not consider Kenyans as human beings who are ... view
