• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I agree with the Bill. It is this National Assembly that will save Kenya. Unless we introduce a legislation that will curb corruption in this country, there is no way we will win the fight. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I must start by saying that the way corruption has spread in this country beats me. Principals and heads of schools chase students from school nowadays because of lunch money. During our days, every child, pupil or student went to school with a lunch box. Because of the Kshs3000 that has been introduced in schools, children are chased away from school nowadays because of lunch money. This shows how corruption has spread. If you go to Level 3, 4 and 5 Hospitals, you will find that there are no drugs, yet all the chemists surrounding those hospitals belong to the ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: If you go around Nairobi and all the major towns, you will see flats and housing units springing up. When you ask the owners of those houses, you cannot know who it is. Finally, if you are lucky, you will find that they belong to civil servants. If you ask whether there is any business they do, you are told there is none. I do not know what happened to lifestyle audit. It was something that we, as a nation, should have pursued. We pass a Budget of Kshs3.2 trillion in this House and yet what is implemented and what ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Our universities and colleges have debts amounting to Kshs6 billion or Kshs10 billion through corruption. The regular education of our universities cannot be administered properly because all the chancellors and administrators of universities are more inclined to parallel education because that is where money is coming from. Let us fight corruption by introducing such legislations in this House. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I propose that the total income of any accounting officer in this country must be screened thoroughly before he gets into office and after he leaves. I am going to introduce a Motion to investigate contractors who are mentioned in oversight committees. It has come to my attention that once you comment on a contractor who has been awarded a contract illegally, they go to court. You can see now how corruption is fighting back. Therefore, this august House must stand on its feet and enact legislation that is going to fight corruption. The future generations of this country will ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Climate change is real. The bodies which have been charged with conserving the environment, through planting trees, have instead stolen money meant for this exercise. Yesterday, everybody saw the windstorms. I am sure Prof. Maathai, wherever she is, is telling Kenyans: “I told you.” This has been contributed mostly by corruption. We failed to conserve our water sources. We have always been debating the Mau Forest and whether to evict people or not. Sometimes back, nobody used to build or dwell on hills or mountains. Nowadays, you can see houses on top of mountains, which used to be protected. What ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand guided in the first part of the Question and I withdraw it. The second part is directed to the CS for Industry, Trade and Cooperatives: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the failure to implement the 3-year grace period that had been granted to tanneries before introduction of any tax on leather as agreed during an EAC Leather Forum meeting attended by the representatives of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, South Sudan and Kenya in Tanzania in May, 2019? It was his prerogative to advise the Government accordingly, but… view
