• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Regarding the notice given by the Leader of the Majority Party, allow me to thank him for prioritising the Report on the hire of an aircraft for the Deputy Speaker for a tour of African countries, which was debated and concluded this morning. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) recently tabled the Special Audit Report on the Judiciary and the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). That Report is generating a lot of public interest. Some of us have received death threats on account of that Report. I would request that it be prioritised, so that we debate ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: makes some of us free. It is now looking like bondage and there is too much of unnecessary interest; in my opinion, it is a fairly well-balanced Report. The sooner we discuss and get rid of it, the earlier some of us will be free from an obligation. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My point of order follows from the comment by Hon. Onyonka. The issue of Migingo is very emotive for those of us who come from the Lake Region communities. Since he has confirmed that the Committee is on top of the matter, would I then be in order to ask the Chair of the Committee when this matter will be finalized? This matter has been pending for over five years now. When are we going to finalise this matter? Would I be in order to ask the Committee to confirm that to ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I want to speak on another one. view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. As we ratify and recognize the place of air transport in our lives today, I think we should ratify many more of these agreements not just with countries in West Africa but even in the southern part of Africa. As we ratify this agreement, the concern for us, as an African country, has to be the fact that it still remains unfortunate that for one to travel to northern Africa countries and some western Africa countries, we still ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: the logic and it does not make sense to me. In the end, there is an intermediary who benefits in between. I want to believe that we can transfer that benefit to Africa by instituting as many direct flights as possible. A more important question for us today is that Kenya has four international Airports, namely the JKIA, Kisumu International Airport, Eldoret International Airport and Moi International Airport in Mombasa. For those of us who come from the western side of the country, one of the biggest agonies is when you want to travel to Uganda by air. You will ... view

• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: conclusive cost-benefit analysis should have been conducted and tabled before this House so that the people of Kenya are informed accordingly. (v) The accompanying delegation was a 13-person strong team and consisted of eight members of staff from the Deputy President’s office led by the Chief of Staff, one officer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two Members of the National Assembly and two Senators. The criteria and rationale for selecting this travelling party is unclear and their specific roles and value to the trip is not manifest. None of the members of this delegation appear to be a specialist, ... view
