Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Petition. I agree with Hon. Theuri that people from Embakasi where I used to be a councilor sometimes back, are really suffering. I have seen people knocked down by cars because of lack of foot bridges. Again, I wonder why and who award the contracts? If you happen to use Outer Ring Road around Taj Mall during the rainy season, it is impassable because of floods. One is left wondering where the engineers who designed the road are from. Even if they are Chinese, their counterparts from Kenya should give ...

The Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing must rise up to the expectations of this House and ensure that value for our money is seen. We cannot keep on paying foreign companies which do funny work. I think it is high time the Government becme serious when awarding contracts. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as much as I agree…

Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it seems like all Members are in agreement with me. I am begging you allocate three minutes per Member. That is so that we dispense away with that Motion.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Motion moved by Hon. Mwathi and indeed confirm that we vetted the various nominees. I confirm that the three of them were all up to the task. They are well versed with the Kenya Foreign Policy although their diplomatic stations were not given. Indeed we were impressed by the former Members of Parliament – Wilfred Machage and Mohamed Shidiye. In fact, we are setting a precedent in this House that former Members of this House are given such portfolios to lead. When you look at Titus Ekai, he is a qualified ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Despite yesterday’s ongoing, I am sure this Motion is rightfully before this House. However, I want to confirm that this Motion is about cohesion, healing and reconciliation. I want to put it that I am a senior Member of the Wiper Party. It is one, Dr. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka, who started the journey of dialogue, but what did we see? Names such as “watermelons” were called out. We are saying that if this is a serious dialogue between the two leaders, then let it be honest and truthful. I want to tell the Leader of the ...

and my friend, Hon. Mbadi, that even if he is talking about NASA, it is true that ODM has taken charge of this. I have great respect for one Raila Amollo Odinga. His history, persistence and continuity are unmatched in the political limelight of this country. If we are talking about cohesion, NASA is about four political parties. We have no problem with Raila going to meet His Excellency President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, but what are we saying? If we are talking about cohesion, then Raila, ordinarily should have called his other principles because this is NASA. In this House, ...
