• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: When it rains in the place I come from, it is a disaster because you cannot move. Whereas other parts of the world people are going to the moon, we are unable to reach the village. While others are settling on the moon, we are unable to reach the village because we have not planned properly, as a country. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Countries like Thailand, Malaysia and South Korea which were at par with Kenya in the 1970s have over 150,000 kilometres of tarmac roads today. If you come to Kenya, as we speak today, even if you include the annuity programme, it does not have 20,000 kilometres of tarmac. It means we are far away behind in developing this country because we are not serious and we are not committed. Everybody is thinking about making quick money and leaving the country high and dry. Wananchi are suffering. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We have created a new structure in this Bill; the Kenya National Secondary Roads Authority.

• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue which members have alluded to and needs to be addressed is that of traffic jams. If you go to urban centres like Mombasa and Eldoret - forget about Nairobi - you will find that there are huge traffic jams. Those big cities are dying. A city like Nairobi will not survive in the next 20 or 30 years to come. Lagos had similar problems. One morning you will wake up and you will not enter into a traffic jam but into a parking; you leave your home but cannot move an inch. I was at the airport ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to support this Petition. Very soon, Nairobi will be grid-locked. We will not be entering into a traffic jam but a parking. This town was designed by the colonialists. We have roundabouts which have been causing mayhem and delays in this City.

Very soon, we will be forced to have a new capital city like Lagos and Dar ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this Petition has come at the right time. It needs to be supported. We need to have a dual carriageway and do away with roundabouts. view
