• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I concur with all the speakers who have said that most of the water in Tana River and Athi River goes to waste. We should harvest that water through dams and water pans and then encourage our farmers to do irrigation. We also need to give them incentives like supplying them with irrigation pipes and generators. If we do this, Kenya will be one of the leading producers of staple foods in the region. The Members have given an example of Malawi. Kenya is known to produce the best researchers in the world, but the problem lies in the implementation ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Israel is 90 per cent desert, but today I am sure most of the Members in this House have bought oranges and mangoes from there.

If you visit the whole of Ukambani, you will find that it is true that there are no incentives, or any Government aid ... view

Let me take this opportunity to thank my great people of Mavoko for giving me the opportunity to represent them in this august House and also take a swipe at the Presidential Address. Hon. Deputy Speaker, first and foremost, you must have a dream to realise it. I want to congratulate the President for having a dream for this nation.
