• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: to this Act. That means what has not been covered in this Bill has been covered in the National Museums and Heritage Act. We will still have to look at the other heroes. In summary, the Kenyatta Mausoleum Bill has four main themes. The first one is to protect and preserve the artefacts in the mausoleum, so that we can preserve the history of the late Jomo Kenyatta for our next generations. The second one is to create employment in this country. As it is now, we have only two Administration Police officers who are employed to guard the mausoleum. ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: In summary, there are people who are worried about the vandalism of sites that are associated with Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and, in particular, in Maralal and whatever may be in Gatundu. We may have some things in Kapenguria. The idea is not to vandalise those other sites which are associated with Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. The idea, if possible, is even to replicate it in a bigger way so that we can have a bigger one where we can have the history of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta being portrayed and Kenyans of all walks of life can learn more about this country ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The issue of space has been mentioned by most Members. There are 4.4 acres that have been mentioned here. I am in doubt whether that is the size of the land where the mausoleum is located. That could be the whole land where the National Assembly and the Senate are located. Therefore, there is need, in the Committee of the whole House, to be a bit more specific on whether that piece of land where the mausoleum is located has a separate parcel number and title deed which is separate from the National Assembly and the Senate, so that we ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: conflict of interest later between the National Museums of Kenya (NMK) and the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Those are two different bodies. We need to look at that so that we can have an inter-governmental agency working in coordination to deliver one particular unit. view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I thank Members again more sincerely for debating this Bill and I hope that we will support it in the Committee of the whole House and bring amendments that will make it a better Bill. view

• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. There seems to be very little interest in this very important Bill. Kenya has just begun to produce a sensible amount of oil. Beginning next month, we shall be having exports even though it is going to be transported by road. This means that we are on the way to become the Saudi Arabia of Africa in few years to come. It is important we pass this Mediated Version of the Petroleum Bill to ensure Kenya will not go the Nigerian way because the country is not able to manage oil affairs. I am going ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing this Motion timeously. Our country has been reduced to an uncontrolled gambling industry. Last week when the Olympics at Rio were coming to an end, one of our athletes who was expected to perform very well unfortunately finished sixth in his race due to unforeseen circumstances. We had supporters here in Kenya who apparently turned out not to be supporters. These people were not really interested in this athlete winning the race. This is ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On the issue of taxes, the KRA will only collect taxes from bodies whose infrastructure, in terms of policy and registration enables them to collect taxes. If you find a betting company giving one person, say, Kshs42 million, which Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo has rightly stated is about 2 per cent, you can imagine what 100 per cent is. This is money that can be used to develop this country, especially in the field of corporate social responsibility. There are very many street children and homeless families in this country. The only reason they give the money to people who win ... view
