• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this chance. I want to say from the outset that I am a Member of this Committee and I rise to support the Bill. The Bill gives Kenyans a chance to smile. Third party insurance has been very cheap. Actually, most The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: insurance companies have been charging between Kshs.5,000 and Kshs.6,000. That is why most Kenyans who have had injuries through motor vehicle accidents have ended up not being--- view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I want to say that it pains me as I contribute to this Motion. We are just at the onset of the short rains and very soon we will start seeing people from Nyando, Baringo and down the Tana Delta crying. Sometimes back we watched a lady from Nyando crying that: “Serikali kuja saidia.” Time has come when this Government should now rise and say that flooding is a thing of the past. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenya is blessed with rivers, enough rainfall and the climate is good for ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I want to assure this Government, it being a digital one, that if these rivers, that is, Tana, Nzoia, Athi and Galana had high dams, we would not be relying on climate. We would not be talking about dry seasons because we would be irrigating our farms round the year. I know that when the rains come in November and December Athi River which criss-crosses my constituency will flood. I know that my CDF emergency kit will be swallowed because I will need to resettle displaced people. We need to put legislation in place to enforce environmental laws. Some time ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. That time I was trying to catch your eye. I rise to support this Motion, which should have come a long time ago. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Issuance of Identity Cards (IDs), NHIF cards, NSSF cards, driving licences and all other identification cards in this nation should be harmonized. It pains me, especially now that the exercise of getting the youth to join our military is on, that most of them missed out because they did not have IDs. In this digital era, I would like the harmonization to be effected immediately. We have to realize the gender mainstreaming in this nation. Most of our married women cannot access IDs because when they go for them, they are asked for their husbands’ and their parents’ ID cards. ... view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will also realize that our young men in the constituencies, especially the boda boda operators, cannot access the NHIF and the NSSF cards because the process is also very tedious. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I support this Motion bearing in mind that in some nations a national identification card is used as collateral because it contains all the identification information of a person. So, if you go to a bank, they will know your NHIF status, the NSSF number, your driving licence and there is no way you can escape. If Kenya attains this standard, it will be very easy to identify Kenyans and make them a state asset. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: For example, if you go to Dubai, you will find that its citizens only use one national identity card for banking, accessing loans and obtaining credit. It is not too late for this nation to adopt such a policy. view
• 16 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it pains me that there was an advertisement last week by Machakos County, which required all the applicants to give EACC certificates, KRA certificates, certificate of good conduct; most of the youth cannot apply for those jobs because they do not have these documents readily available. The exercise is very tedious. Because the deadline is tomorrow, half of the potential applicants will not be able to apply for the jobs. view
