• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The first one was for this House to consider providing for the establishment of special units for terrorism and pirates to curb the alarming rate of radicalisation in prison. The second one is for this House to review the Penal Code to align it with the Constitution. The Committee received submissions from the petitioners and the Principal Secretary of State Department of Correctional and Rehabilitation Services. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Let me report the recommendations only. The Committee undertook a field visit to Naivasha Maximum Prison. During the visit, the Committee held meetings with the petitioners and other inmates in Naivasha Maximum Prison. I should not report the observations. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The third one is the relocation of the motor vehicle number plate industry from Kamiti Maximum Prison to the National Youth Service (NYS). The Committee did not establish sufficient grounds for this recommendation because the two institutions are departments of the Government. So, there is no need to do that. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, we have Petitions which are pending and their 60 days period has lapsed. We have Petitions by Hon. Rasso, Hon. Matthew, Hon. Kajuju, Hon. Mbalu and Hon.

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to second this Motion. The NGCDF has been a milestone and a good programme in this country. The NGCDF has been a life changer in rural Kenya. It has assisted in building of schools, hospitals, provision of water and bursaries for students. You cannot underrate the NGCDF in this country. It is very unfortunate that Kenyans have become busybodies by taking this matter to court. The late Sharif Nassir one time told me that we will have more court cases in this country than any other country in Africa. Today, we ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I support this Bill. If you look at this Bill, in terms of classification and planning, you will find that it is one of the best Bills that has ever come to this House. However, Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has been removed. Roads are drivers of development in this country. You cannot talk about agriculture, tourism, education and health without proper roads. They are the driving force in the development of this country. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Since Independence, Kenya has built roads which are substandard. That is unfortunate. The roads which are being constructed do not last long, because the contractors do not put the right input. Roads are repaired in Nairobi every season, but they do not take care of the drainage. There is no proper planning and maintenance. Building a road is one thing and maintaining it is another thing altogether. I come from northern Kenya. We have a huge region which has been neglected for far too long. This is because no roads have been constructed in northern Kenya for the last 50 ... view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Today, I am very happy because the first road between Garissa and Modogashe was launched by the President in my constituency. That is a milestone and it has just started. We have never had a single tarmac road for the last 50 years. When you talk to people about tarmac road, they ask you where it is found. They ask you whether it is found in heaven. This is because they have never imagined that you can have a tarmac road. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the standards of the roads that are tarmacked in this country are wanting. You construct a tarmac road today, barely two or three years, it is washed away. You wonder what happens. Believe me, these are the most expensive roads in this region. One kilometre of tarmac road in this country costs between Kshs70 million to Kshs80 million, while in other parts of the world one kilometre of road costs Kshs40 million. If you convert that into US dollars, it will be about U$400,000. Our roads are very expensive but poorly done. Something must be amiss. ... view
