• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As we were doing our field study, we noticed that some projects especially those by the Judiciary were done without undertaking a cost-benefit analysis. You found a big court house was built using a lot of money but looking at the cases refereed to that court, they are very few. In other instances, there was delay of payment to contractors. This was despite them having finished their work and the Ministry of Public Works issuing certificates. We asked ourselves why? We thought probably, they just wanted to frustrate the contractors so that they could award the tender to a contractor ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, there are many issues but I will just mention a few. Another big issue we need to look at is Government land because a lot of it lacks title deeds - be it schools, prisons and even The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Judiciary. This is something that the NLC and the Ministry of Lands needs to look into. We need to secure our land and give ownership documents so that it is not grabbed. view

• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I oppose this amendment. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, we went round listening to all stakeholders. Matters of children are too serious to be left to the private players.

• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this County Governments (Amendment) Bill of 2017. This Bill is coming to cure some gaps which are in the original Act where the office of the deputy speaker in the county assembly was not recognised. We have seen courts pronouncing themselves in the case of Murang’a County Assembly. When the case was taken to court, the judge declared the position of the deputy speaker null. We also have a gap in the parent Act in terms of the appointment of the deputy governor. We have seen it ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I congratulate the Member for Starehe for bringing this Motion. If this Motion is implemented, it will empower Kenyan youths. The people we are talking about here are Kenyan youth who, for one reason or another, have not undergone formal education. Therefore, they have been working in the informal sector and, in one way or another; have acquired experience in whatever trade. When they are looking for jobs, the first thing they are required to prove is that they have certificates for their skills. If they do not produce ... view

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: . If the Government accredits and gives certificates, it will be able to regulate plumbers, construction workers and welders. Through regulation, they will bring order to the industry. Those people are undertaking construction works anyway. If it is plumbers, they are doing plumbing; if it is electricians, they are doing electricity work. By regulating them, we are creating order in this country. Therefore, it will grow this industry. Once they are accredited, they should be issued with certificates. We should even have a database where if I am in Nairobi and I want a plumber, I can just log into ... view
