• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are speaking about the intelligence and dignity of this House. This is a House of rules. I saw a stranger in this House. I was just wondering. Was that a Member of Parliament, Al-Shabaab or a thug in this House? Is that the dress code in this House? Are there no Serjeants-At-Arms in this Chamber? Are we safe in this Chamber? view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: No, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to speak on the Public Service Commission Bill. I have received the regulations that will replace the guidelines. When you look at Clause 42 on the introduction of casuals in the public service, I am glad this is going to regulate the sector. Casual jobs have been given by the public service, particularly on Kazi kwa Vijana Programme and the guidelines were that youths from some parts of this country were paid differently from youths from other areas. The regulations provided in this clause are going to introduce a baseline and it ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I must apologise because I was on a call. Hon. Mwinyi is the Member for Changamwe, and 80 per cent of his voters come from my community. They were telling me to tell him in person that they are very happy that he is fighting for them because issuance of P3 Forms has become a cartel like matter. At the outset, I must say that issuance of P3 Forms has been misused because it is used as a conduit for corruption. Most Kenyans today face difficulties getting P3 Forms. If you go to a ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: payments. The cost of healthcare is very high. If a person gets an accident and he or she has a third party or comprehensive insurance cover, he or she is frustrated when he or she wants a P3 Form. Most Kenyans end up not getting treatment or losing a lot of money because of that. Hon. Mwinyi must have heard the cries of Kenyans that P3 Forms must be given for free. I support that these forms should be filled in dispensaries and hospital at all levels. Again, I support Hon. Gichigi’s amendment that even the doctors who fill these ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I concur with the previous speakers that this is a good Bill that has been brought by the Chuka/Igambang’ombe Legislator. The Kenyatta Mausoleum should have been opened to the public like yesterday. We cannot underrate the fact that Mzee Jomo Kenyatta was one of the greatest men in Africa. He fought for the Independence of this country together with others like my grandfather, Muindi Mbingu, Tom Mboya, Oginga Odinga, Dedan Kimathi, Paul Ngei and the rest of the Kapenguria Six. So, it has been a long wait. Today, we see soldiers guarding the Mausoleum of ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I hope a few things will be included in the mausoleum, so that it can be easier for our future generations to learn more about our former leaders. One of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta’s artefacts is the leopard skin that he wore. He was also a darling of leather jackets. Others include his fly whisk and the cap that was donated to him by the First Vice-President, Hon. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. I would also want Independence instruments that were handed over to him in 1963 to be put in the mausoleum, so that we can compare them with today’s instruments of ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Also, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta should be remembered as the first man to have allocated land mostly in settlement areas in Kitale, Lamu, Taveta and Ukambani, including Shimba Hills. Some copies of titles to those land parcels should be put in the mausoleum. It is public knowledge that view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Jomo Kenyatta also acquired big chunks of land. It is also important that copies of title deeds for such lands are put in the mausoleum, so that future generations can learn that power is not about acquiring land, but distributing it equitably to people across the country. Preservation of such information in the mausoleum will enable Kenyans to realise that by 1963, Kenya was more united than it is today. Despite our political divide or our tribal backgrounds, we should all take Mzee Jomo Kenyatta as a nationalist and a man who brought this country to where it is. The ... view
