  • 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I want to support this Motion as amended and urge the other Members of this House to support it. view
  • 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The Jubilee Government has promised to tarmack 10,000 kilometres in the next ten years. What is the Government doing to take care of the counties that have been left out by previous Governments? Narok is one such county; it has only 197 kilometres of tarmac. When you look at counties like Kiambu and Nakuru, they have 906 and 947 kilometres of tarmac roads respectively. What is the Government doing to make sure that the counties that have been left out like Narok also get tarmacked in their counties? view
  • 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Bill. I want to thank my good friend hon. Keynan for bringing this Bill. Since we promulgated our new Constitution and the counties came into being, we have realized confusion with regard to titles. I think this Bill will bring order in this country. I remember that when hon. Uhuru Kenyatta was elected as the President of Kenya and we went to the Stadium, I was shocked to see Members of Parliament seated very far from where the President and the Deputy President were. This will maintain order and decorum in ... view
  • 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I totally agree with the way the Bill has delineated the President, the Deputy President, the Speakers of Parliament and then the Chief Justice. I will bring some amendment because I think there are some issues to do with the Governor and Members of Parliament. With all due respect to my colleagues, I think the Governor must come before the Member of Parliament. It does not matter how you look at it. A person who has been elected by seven or six constituencies is definitely higher than a person who has been elected by only one constituency. As much as ... view
  • 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: During State functions, we have seen our good friends from the county assemblies going in front instead of giving room to Members of Parliament and Senators up there. I think this Bill will bring order so that we move forward as a country. With regard to the use of the national flag, we are used to the old Constitution which provided for our Cabinet Ministers to fly flags. It used to be good. But after we allowed devolution, there seems to be an urge by everybody to use the flag. This is not good. We need to allow some offices ... view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to request our Chairman, that when the Inspector General visits us in our Committee we call the Members from Samburu Community because they seem to have more information than even the police. A student leader was killed and you need to get facts. As a matter of fact, I am very surprised that investigation has not been conducted. It has been a year since this happened and we have not known what killed him. It is a fact that everybody knows who killed that young man. If you asked, you would be ... view
  • 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to support the amendment to this Motion which has been brought by my good friend, hon. Njuguna. We must be very careful as lawmakers. This House has already passed the Refugee Act. It is very clear that we cannot register refugees or people who come from another country. However, as Members of this honourable House - and I hope that my good friend, hon. Diriye understands that it is very important to note that we support him – should ensure that all Kenyans who have not been issued with IDs ... view
  • 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have problems in this country because of registering people who have come from other countries. As a country, we have agreed to help our brothers from Somalia to stay in the refugee camps. However, the hon. Member cannot come to this House and tell us that we should register people from Somalia. That is a “NO” to me and I think it is a “NO” for the whole House. view
  • 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Let us not entertain petty politics because the issue of refugees has brought problems to this country. As a matter of fact, if it was me, I would have asked that we really look into the people who stay in North Eastern because they are the ones who are bringing problems to our country. The insecurity we have is because of them. The people from Somalia are using them to come and bomb us. Do you think we will agree? I want to say categorically that we will not allow that. I was surprised to hear my good friend, hon. ... view
  • 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me. I was saying that I was very shocked to hear that my good friend, hon. Diriye, is saying that the County Commissioner told him that they will not register Kenyans. I think that is something that we should follow up because all Kenyans are supposed to be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
