• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: can live and the rest have nothing to eat? We must find ways of creating wealth. We must find ways of helping and sustaining our economy. We must find ways of generating income. A country is like a public or private enterprise. We must know how to make money for this country. We need to know how to generate income and look for ways of improving the lives of our people. The old way of doing things cannot work. We now have a devolved system and it is a money guzzler. A lot of money is being taken up to ... view

• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion as amended. You are well aware that majority of Kenyan youth are unemployed. Poverty levels are very high in this country. You realize that when most of the youths leave school, they would like to have white colour jobs as opposed to blue color jobs.

You realize that in Kenya, the majority of the youths want to go to universities since we have killed our middle level ... view

• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: sector has not grown to the level that we wanted. We are importing mitumba and other substandard goods from China. We are not investing in our industries. The agricultural sector, which is the main employer in this country, is dying because farms have been divided into small portions because of inheritance.

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. We appreciate that we are under a new dispensation. You will realize that the old Parliament had a lot of flavor and there was a lot of drama but, at the end of the day, not much was happening. This is the first Parliament in the world that gave out its power. We are now the same group which is complaining.
