• 5 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for the Statement and the business coming before the House next week. 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
• 5 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: A number of us observed that the welfare of Members should be a concern to us both when we are alive and when we are gone. I am saying this because there are quite a number of our former colleagues in this House who are going through a lot of difficulties and whose cases have been brought to this House. It appears that the action necessary by this House is taking a bit long. I have in mind the plight of hon. Otieno Mak’Onyango, the former MP for Alego-Usonga. If I am not wrong, his case is before this House. ... view
• 5 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. It is not just hon. Mak’ Onyango alone. The other day, I meet the hon. Kalulu, who was also an hon. Member of this House. I think this House must address itself to the plight of former hon. Members of this House. It looks bad when people who have served this country in the distinguished capacity to go through that kind of suffering and this House appears helpless to save them. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. On my own behalf, and on behalf of the people of Rarieda Constituency, I would like to send my condolences to the family of our departed colleague, hon. Ngugi. Inevitable as it is, death is always a very painful experience, especially for those who are left behind. I have no doubt in my mind that all of us seated in this House, at one point or the other; we have had to experience this most personal and very painful experience. Hon. Speaker, it is in this vein that I wish to ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, most of the issues that I wanted to canvass have been canvassed; except to say that noting the mischief that sometimes goes on with the miscellaneous (amendments) bills, those of us who come from areas whose economy is predicated mainly on fishing, maybe, as we move forward, time has come when we must prepare comprehensive Acts to regulate fishing especially now that we are going into aqua-culture. I do not wish to say more than that; except to say that this is something that we are working on and going forward, we want to look at ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I will be rising to second this Motion at a later date, being a beneficiary of this important crop. I rise on Standing Order No.97 to request that debate on this Motion be limited to 45 minutes with five minutes for each Member speaking. 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
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, I have looked at it, but I was relying more on Standing Orders No.97 (1). view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: The Motion has been moved and seconded and hence the substance of my moving under Standing Orders No.97 (1). view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, while I sincerely sympathize with the plight of the student, I am struggling from where I sit if this matter could not have been handled better and faster at the local level. I do not seem to understand how it is a national issue and whether the hon. Member ought not to have liaised with the MCA of the area to handle it with the County Education office. This is because a matter like this, other than the fact that it is urgent, I would believe that if it was handled at the Nakuru County Education Office, it ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, while I would not want to go back to the Leader of Majority Party’s decision to withdraw the Order appearing at No.12, Procedural Motion, yesterday morning we were to debate the Report on San Marco Project in Malindi. This Report is a carryover from the last Parliament. The reason it is urgent is that the Report has matters which impact on the people of Kilifi County, the people of Kenya and, indeed, on our country as a whole. It would have been our wish, as you had directed earlier that, that Report be brought here. I even talked ... view
