• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I would like to say that, as a nation, we have lost a great leader. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.225(2)(a), I wish to present a Petition by the residents of Chuka/Igambang'ombe Constituency on erection of bumps and road signs on Mate Road in Kathuana Township. Hon. Speaker, I, Onesmas Muthomi Njuki, the Member of Parliament for Chuka/Igambang’ombe Constituency, on behalf of the undersigned citizens of Kenya, who are residents of Chuka/Igambang’ombe Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: Noting that road transport is the most popular mode of transport in Kenya, and has contributed immensely to the economic development in both the rural and urban centres; Aware that the Fourth ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank hon. Omar Mwinyi for coming up with this very important Motion. This Motion is informed by the fact that hon. Omar Mwinyi comes from Mombasa and he flies home every weekend. Maybe, it is a bit hard on his pocket. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon Deputy Speaker, I hope my microphone does not have a problem. I will move closer to it. I am sure most of us have used air transport even over the weekend. Some of us use choppers; I am sure you used one over the weekend, hon. Deputy Speaker. Normally prices charged by choppers are very inhibitive to those who want to use air transport. Before, it used to be a preserve for the rich; those who could afford to travel by air. However, today we cannot afford to go the slow but sure way because in a growing economy ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The amount of time it takes one to fly to Mombasa is one hour and the time it takes to travel by bus or car, would probably be a whole day. If one travelled by air, he would go there do business and come back. However, what has brought this is the head start that Kenya Airways was given because it has been operating for some time. The other small airlines have not been able to catch up with Kenya Airways. Maybe, it is because of taxes that the Government normally levies. If you look at the taxes that are ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: everybody to afford to go to aviation school. That is one of the things that can make flying easier. One of the reasons why they are expensive is because they also cater for the very expensive workforce they employ both in flying and in technical support. Therefore, through this Motion, we would like to encourage the Government to set up a government school for flying so that we can have more of pilots, service crews and engineers trained there. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the predatory nature of the operations of the Kenya Airways needs to be checked. I have no problem ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I support that we adjourn. However, when we come back in the afternoon – going by Standing Order No.1 – I kindly beg you to give hon. Members time to deliberate on the issue that happened earlier this week in Migori. This issue is touchy as it happened to the President of this nation. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to condemn what happened in Migori, and say that even when there is death in this country of one of our beloved people, we normally offer condolesences; I have not heard any regrets, or any form of apology, from the leadership. I want to support this Report and thank the President for this time appointing a very qualified person. Insecurity in this country in the last few years has been a serious problem. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker for your guidance. I was saying that intelligence in this country has been a big issue. Kenya is the only country where you walk into town and people great you as they introduce themselves as National Intelligence Service staff, when in actual fact they are supposed to be working in secrecy. It is my hope that the appointment of one Phillip Wachira Kameru will actually bring sanity to this very important sector. Today, the mood is very good in the House because for the first time we a nomination for national appointment, and I have not ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Report and I want to thank the Procedure and House Rules Committee for bringing this fourth. A few months ago, I met one Cabinet Secretary who told me that, nowadays, he only works at night in his office, to do the duties or the work that the Ministry gives him. The other days, he practically roams around Parliament answering to Committees to be able to satisfy the Statement that are actually asked by different Committees. By allowing those Cabinet Secretaries to come to Parliament and give the answers to the questions--- ... view
