• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to Hon. Kamanda, is he in order to inform Members in this House that one’s re-election to this House is determined by how much work one does for his people? We are all aware that he lost the Starehe parliamentary seat while he was the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. Does he mean that he did not do any work not only for Starehe Constituency, but also for Kenya? view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me join my colleagues in conveying my condolences on behalf of myself, the great people of Mavoko and Machakos at large. True, Hon. Nyenze was a man of God. He was a Christian straight from high school to the university. He was a member of the Christian Union. That was guided by his father having been a pastor. Nyenze was a soft spoken person who avoided confrontation and verbal exchange. Hon. Nyenze is one special person. In the 11th Parliament, if you look at his surroundings, he was supposed to answer back to Hon. Duale, ... view

• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate we have just had our induction. I want to inform my good friend, Jicho Pevu, that in this House, we do not mix English and Swahili. If you start with Kiswahili, you finish with Kiswahili. If you start with English, you finish with English. view
• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to congratulate the drafter of this Amendment Bill. True, as many Members have alluded to, police officers live in dire conditions and are deprived economically and socially. When you look at how policemen and women are treated in this country, it is pathetic. When you look at the jobs they undertake, you would say, socially, they are actually discriminated against. I have visited a few residential houses that are set aside for policemen. Some of them live in tents and others live in mabati houses. You will find one ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: During the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) awards, Athi River Police Station was declared the cleanest police station. I kept on wondering how I rate it and how I see it, if it is number one in Kenya, I wondered how other police stations are. This should tell us that they must be working in very pathetic conditions. I have had a chance to clean toilets and cells of those police stations. Those are human beings and, as one Member has said, even when they go to rescue or carry criminals who have been shot or injured or people who ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: I also agree with Members when they say that when it comes to compensation, most young people put their mothers and fathers as the next of kin. I do not think that is a big issue so far. But what is interesting is when I look at the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). They are better treated than the regular and Administration Police and prison officers. view
