• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: It is as a result of systems that have not been put in place properly. If you may indulge Members to consult in low tones, I seem not to even hear myself. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for your indulgence on that. The reality here is that we are actually on an exaggerated level of the prices of fuel. Recently, I went to Ethiopia - and I have given this example before - and realized that the price of diesel and petrol is about Kshs50 equivalent to Kenya. Ethiopia is a landlocked country that does not even have an opportunity to produce oil on their own. There is so much dishonesty in the management of the oil sector in this country. That is why we feel for our communities as we ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: That is unfair on the part of this request. I know my timing and I should not be interrupted on that matter. However, I was almost concluding. It is unfortunate that Members seem to not read the Standing Orders. It is my prerogative to stand here and contribute. We found out that the demurrage is the black cash milked by ghosts that have long hands. Someone seems to be paid for not doing their job. That is where I will conclude despite having my time being interrupted. It is important that Members understand the Standing Orders and do not interrupt ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In the beginning, just before you spoke, I felt a bit irritated by Members saying that the Committee had the opportunity to deliver the report on time. However, you actually defended us and you have said all that I really wanted to say. I only want to add one point. We visited the Port of Mombasa and noted the reasons why these challenges are happening, particularly the demurrage. They are quite extensive, actually in billions. Therefore, unless we do thorough investigations and come into the point that this is why we are losing these amounts of ... view

• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had to pray my afternoon prayers. Therefore, I had to take a few minutes off from my desk. view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am quite happy to contribute to this Bill. It is important that we realise that the Bill will add value to the enactment of the irrigation laws. It is important that we must also realise that this country is dependent on importation of food when this country has a potential to be able to feed its population, to provide for its people and reduce the amount of malnutrition that does occur year in, year out. We are facing severe drought in this country and we are also facing severe hunger that ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: That brings me to a very simple example. It may touch the nerves of a few people, but I really want to say a dam worth Kshs1 billion would make a huge difference to, for example, Wajir South, which is the second-largest constituency in the country. That is equivalent to three provinces – Central, Nairobi and Western provinces. It is a huge land. What it would have done is when people are investing in one single dam… I want to use an example of Arror Dam and the Kshs35 billion that is being expended there. Give me Kshs1 billion out ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The Petition is valid as far as I am concerned. It is an issue that has put us into a serious situation. Wajir South, particularly Habaswein sub-county, last week lost about seven elders because of this variant. Many others are currently in the ICU. It is a challenge. It is an issue that we really need to address head on. The Petitioner has validly argued the case that this is an issue that must be taken as a national matter. Therefore, as we mourn the people we lost throughout the years when COVID-19 has ... view
