• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me join my fellow Kenyans in condoling the bereaved families. Today is a sad day for this nation. The nation is bleeding. We have lost harmless, innocent young Kenyan lives. As we mourn and express our displeasure on the security issue, we should ask ourselves where we went wrong. Insecurity has now become quite serious. It has got out of hand and it is time, as a nation, we carefully scrutinized and interrogated our actions. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: As we mourn the loss of young Kenyan lives, we need to ask ourselves how,, as a nation and a security team, we are consuming security information. That is intelligence information. It is quite saddening that, that information had been relayed to every Kenyan. We seem not to have taken heed and taken the necessary intervention measures timely to avert such incidences. It is quite unfortunate that we are seeing what is happening today. The photos that are circulating in the social media are quite saddening. It is only in Kenya where we allow such things to be going on ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to join colleagues in saluting His Excellency the President for the Speech that he gave as an address to the nation. I applaud him for coming out so clearly in issues of devolution. He was very categorical when he was addressing the nation and said that he reluctantly formed a commission to start the dissolution of the Makueni County. He just fell short of my expectations. There are no two ways; either the President is for dissolution or not for it. I want to urge His Excellency the President that he took ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The dissolution of Makueni County was just a political strategy and a gimmick. It was not a real statement to this nation that Makueni County ought to be dissolved. Therefore, we cannot dissolve this county when we have sworn by the Constitution that we will protect our counties and devolution. We will be setting a precedent that we cannot deal with. That is one of the areas where the President should come out very clean. As the President was giving his Speech, he talked about corruption. When you read carefully through the annexure that he tabled in this House, you ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The President talked about the LAPSSET project. He said that it is the artery of the East African economy. As he talks about LAPSSET, I want to remind him that there is a project that the Government is undertaking – the Foke Multipurpose Dam in Makueni County. Some of the valuers and the people who are dealing with the project are saying they will compensate the affected residents at Kshs60,000 per acre while in Lamu we saw them compensated at Kshs1.5 million per acre. I want to tell the President and his team that those people will not accept such ... view
