• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Secretaries (PSs) of various ministries, whenever they fail to deliver upon the questions they are asked. Under those circumstances, we are caught up with time. However, that does not happen in my Committee of Defence and Foreign Relations. On the regulations which the Committee prays that they be annulled, this House will also take notice that CBK has taken upon itself to forget that in Kenya, since we obtained the Constitution 2010, a number of things which are done to affect the public or the common view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: are supposed to pass through public participation. The CBK nowadays issues regulations even without considering how they will affect the common man on the ground or even the businessman who intends to open his business somewhere to assist the community and himself. I am saying so because if you look at the law as it is now, for a pastoralist, or a livestock farmer who also plants coffee or tea to get, say, Kshs1 million, he or she requires to sell one bull, one he-goat and obtain some little earnings from coffee. There is no agreement made when you are ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: was swept away by water. So, I pray that you be careful, especially when it comes to Maasai land, like when I see my friend there. I understand his place is impassable, but I wish him the best. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment. A number of my colleagues who are opposed to this amendment do not understand Kenya’s background. We are reasoning as if we just live in the urban areas and not in other areas in the Republic of Kenya. There are those areas where children are even born at home and they take years before they come across administrative stations. I am referring to the hardship areas. This amendment should be as it is so that a child can be admitted at any learning institution. A child cannot be denied that basic right, ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Motion as it is. This Motion deals with the relationship between Kenya and South Africa militarily. As it is, Kenya is a developing country. It is a third world county compared to South Africa, which is advanced militarily, economically and technologically. There will be many advantages if Kenya relates with South Africa military-wise. If we ratify the Agreement that is before this House, we will gain a lot. Military-wise, South Africa has advanced. It can be equated to first world countries. Militarily, South Africa is a nuclear country and we are far from ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: articulated that the mother country will take care of its personnel. So, South Africa will take care of its personnel and Kenya will do the same to her personnel. In the Agreement, we do not expect the Kenya military personnel to establish camps in South Africa. However, we expect South Africans to come and establish some military camps in Kenya because we are behind them in military advancement. If they establish military training camps in Kenya, we will gain a lot economically, medically, militarily and agriculturally. The personnel that will be in Kenya will enjoy what we have here in ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning the following Question: (i) When will the land adjudication on Kiamuri B area in Central Imenti Constituency declared in 2002 be carried out? (ii) What action is the Ministry taking to address an overlap of the adjudication declared on Karocho Area in Tharaka-Nithi County and Kiamuri B area in Meru County which was already declared one year earlier? view
• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I associate myself with the Member for Mvita. Even though it is said that the Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure came to this House, if one travels along that road from Nairobi to Mombasa - as I did last August - you will sympathise with the situation. Honestly, we used to take care because of the number of lorries transporting cargo on that road. But the road is virtually empty now. This SGR is killing business in Kenya, instead of creating business. Whoever came up with that idea did not carry out a feasibility study and ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: That is the position. What I am saying is that it is not voluntary as it was supposed to be. That is because you can see members of the public who used road transport are using the SGR and it is more expensive. They are being forced to use it. The Cabinet Secretary said that he was going to issue a directive to stop the enforcement, but the statement he gave was just a “by the way”. It is not effective and, maybe, he did not direct his people to start implementing what he was telling the Committee here. Members ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to associate myself with the point of order by Hon. Murugara. The Finance Bill before us infringes or brings in extraneous matters other than what it is supposed to by touching on Cap 16 of the Laws of Kenya. The Finance Bill as it is now, Clause 51 proposes to amend Cap 16 of the Laws of Kenya which should not come in this form because it is bringing in extraneous matters. It infringes on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
