• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, the Hon. Member is a national leader but courtesy demands that, if he has such intention he should have informed me as well. But, anyway, it is true that there has been some delay in the construction of the said road. We appealed to the relevant ministries and they came to inspect the ongoing roadworks. We are not very satisfied that the work is moving at the right pace but at least there is some improvement at the moment. The work is going on… view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I request that you reduce the number of minutes for each Member speaking so that you can at least accommodate those who are remaining for them to speak.

• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I also join my colleagues in sending my condolences to the family of the deceased. I also want to air two points. The first one is, those who are concerned must own up. We would like to see people accepting that it is their mistake, at least for the first time in the country. Let us see whoever believes that it is his mistake owning up, first of all. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, as we speak, there is no order in the way people enter and leave the ferry. We even do not know how many people are carried in each trip ferry makes. This is because people simply go in like goats and there even is no head count to know how many are transported. I think that should also be done. The Departmental Committee on Transport Public Works and Housing should also be concerned about some of these activities that are within its docket. The Committee should play an active role so that safety is maintained. We do not want ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It is high time this country relooked itself. Just the other day a school collapsed and all of a sudden, all ministry officials and leaders began running around closing schools arbitrarily and yet we are approaching the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams. That is absurd. I beg to stop there and give my colleagues time to contribute. view

• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for according me this opportunity to air my views and thoughts about this very important Motion. Honestly speaking, the first five years of a child are very important. This is the time when the brain is growing. Learning has begun. Attitudes are being formed and the overall growth of a child is also taking place. This important stage of life needs to be taken proper care of. If we do not take care of our children during these ages, we will definitely lose them. We will have the kind of school dropouts that we ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Long ago, we had a programme where every primary school was supposed to develop a pre-primary school in its compound. This was to ensure that there was continuity from the lower to the upper classes, so that the children could adapt to the environment in those areas. The national Government is in a better position to handle the development that is required for the children because it has statistics. It is in a position to know how many children have been born in an area and how many pre-primary schools are required to cope with the population of those children. ... view
• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
