• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order is: In the list that was read by the Minister, Igembe, which is in Meru North, was not in that list at all. Which means they are saying that there is no cattle rustling in that area. Even now, when you see that my name--- view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: My point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, is that I am not speaking for myself but for experience's sake. I want to shed light on our experience on cattle rustling. I do not see why we do not have somebody from my region in that list. My name should not be cancelled. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me also add my voice in support of this Motion. First, we know that the county councils and municipalities are all created with the approval of the Government. Going by that, we have the councillors, mayors and other elected leaders in those councils. We also know the responsibilities involved.

Whenever there is a function taking place within their locations, they are called upon to make ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: We know very well that municipalities and county councils provide very important services to our people.

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: My other point is with regard to election of mayors and county council chairmen. We know that somewhere, midway their terms, there is another election that takes place. We hope that when this Bill is brought, it will address that issue and ensure that when mayors and chairmen are elected, they serve a full term just like Parliamentarians. This will also bring about harmony in the councils. We have sometimes seen how mayors and chairmen of councils being held hostage by councillors. This is because if a mayor or a chairman of a county council does not support councillors in ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: We are aware that most of the people who elect councillors have certain expectations such as giving out of plots. However, I am sure that we are past that era of giving out plots. Councillors are there to serve people. Therefore, if they are there to serve people, it is only good that they are remunerated well. view

• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Finance:- (a) whether he is aware that financial institutions in Kenya hold billions of shillings in unclaimed financial assets; (b) whether he is further aware that widows, orphans and other dependants have suffered due to lack of a formal mechanism to reclaim the funds; and, (c) what action he is taking in order to resolve this matter. view
