• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It was a Question, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a nice Report based on the recommendation of the United Nations; that each country has to have at least 10 per cent of forest cover. However, I have some reservations on some of the recommendations that have been submitted in this Report. It is important. You have listened to my senior from the same county, that is, Bungoma County. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I do not think a problem solves a problem. That has been the challenge with this Government. It is very quick to molest its own people without even proper plans in place. I am a resident of Bungoma County where Mt. Elgon is. I have looked at the Report keenly. You can see clearly dissenting voices from the local community. In Mt. Elgon, you are allowing one community to remain in the forest because it is calling the forest their ancestral land and, at the same time, you are displacing a portion of another community. This will bring conflict. It ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I oppose this Report. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendments for two reasons. One, some of the places are reserved. They are like a club. When you talk of a bar, we need to raise the taxes to ensure that people who go there are able to make the payments. One time, we were happy when the Minister released a regulation and a directive that a bar should not be close to a school. So, the amendments that the Chairperson has brought are important. Secondly, it is important because it will assist our children. Children at times access little money ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when it comes to these things, clarity is very important. You talk about the Railway Development Levy subsidising the building of the SGR railway line without telling us the amount of money that has been realised and used so far. It becomes very difficult because they are only giving us a percentage. At times, when we sit here, we like getting exact figures of how much they intend to collect and how much is expected to do this kind of job. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Protect me from the Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Leader of the Majority Party is advocating for something that he does not even believe in, which is unfortunate. He said that where he comes from, they do not believe in borrowing money that comes with interest. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has listened to the voice of the majority. We are here and we represent the people. If you go to the village today, auctioning of property has gone down because there is capping of interest rates. We have seen the Report of the Committee. They listened to the stakeholders. There was a meeting between the Committee, the National Treasury and other stakeholders. They have given us the position of the majority and this House. The Leader of the Majority Party is debating and acting on something that he does ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to voice my sentiments on this Sessional Paper. At the outset, I also wish to pass my condolences to the affected families and to my friend and colleague, the Member for Dagoretti South, during this very difficult time following the loss of the young ones. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: This is a very timely Sessional Paper before us today. As we look into issues of education, we need to realise that all human beings are born with talents. It is true that when this country is seriously looking to tapping the talents of our young ones, we should put some things rights from the very beginning. If we get the foundation of the Competence Based Curriculum right, we are likely to build a nation that will have a strong image out there and make our young ones remain competitive and self-sufficient. view
