• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I rise to support the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I also want to state that I am an independent Member of Parliament. My good people of Thika have given me this chance. Therefore, I wish to prosecute this Bill very independently. I am also aware of how much interest this constitutional moment has generated amongst Kenyans. Therefore, it is time to tell them the truth. The most significant change in this Bill is the devolvement of resources to Wanjiku. We have seen what the National Government Constituency ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: in one term by reducing the unemployment rate to a mere 10 per cent. Yes, this can happen. It is high time our leaders stopped what we call the “living culture.” It is repulsive. It is retrogressive to say the least. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I got my notes. I am not reading. I am only referring to the points, and I believe it is allowed to do that in this House. On the additional constituencies being created, I want to say that this House has been misled by Hon. Duale, who said that Kiambu County is going to get 13 extra constituencies. It is wrong to mislead the House. Kiambu County is getting only 6 extra constituencies. I also want to say that establishing additional constituencies is good. Thika Constituency has a bursary kitty of Kshs25 million with ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: This CS has the guts to tell my people not to call me, the area MP. So, I just read one mischief there: this person does not want to be overseen by the area MP. Having these people sit in our House here, we can ask the hard questions and expect good answers. So, I think this will be a very good change coming with these amendments. I will just call that madharau ndogo ndogo” (petty politics) because it is not helping me, neither is it helping him. It is equally not helping the people of Thika nor Kenyans. I ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I totally do not support. I also do not believe that our 42 communities are going to have any cohesion by appointing three people at the top. I do not see how that is going to bring peace or support anybody here in terms of integration. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: So, by and large, this document has achieved 80 per cent of our expectations. I recommend that we bring money down to Wanjiku. I would like to remind our Government that COVID-19 is really spiking and we have not done much. I know countries like Israel and Botswaan are almost immune because they did the right thing. They talked to the pharmaceuticals and so they have the vaccines. I therefore ask my Government to think out of the box. There are people who can pay for vaccinations. So, let the Government bother with the people who cannot pay. Let us ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I, on behalf of the people of Thika Town, I vote a big yes. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will say this very quickly. I cannot emphasise enough on the importance of timely surveying of Del Monte land and subsequent renewal of their lease and, very importantly, surrender of unused land to the public for the public and community use. Here, 7,000 direct jobs and 28,000 indirect jobs are at stake, not to mention the Kshs10 billion in forex income. This company will surely wind up its operations in Kenya if something is not done today. According to the NLC recommendation and Gazette Notice No. 1995 dated 1st March 2019, survey of that land ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: for further investigations. What we need now is action. We have everything we need. The survey and lease renewal should have happened yesterday. Kindly, let the CS again present herself in person to explain why this is not happening. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I request for a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c) regarding the status of the application for renewal of land lease for Del Monte Company. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands regarding the status of the application for renewal of the land lease for Del Monte Kenya Limited. Del Monte Kenya Limited is Kenya’s largest producer and exporter of pineapple produce and other fruit beverages, moving an average of 4,000 containers per annum and earning the country over US$90 million in ... view
