• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy for giving me this opportunity that I may join others in making my contribution. I rise to support this important Motion. I also want to thank the Mover. It is dangerous to our youth who pick those containers to check whether there is something good in them to take. This country is advancing and many people are coming up with different types of investments in terms of manufacturing different types of foods. The Government must do something about it so that we can dispose those containers properly. It should be the responsibility of manufacturers to ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: During our days, we could not just leave our children to go and pick something, walk and look at what is in containers to see if there is something for them to play with. Parents should be encouraged to look after their children. We should look at them until they are about 14 or 16 years before we leave them. We should guide them. We are becoming too soft to our children, and we are always asking the Government to intervene. We are now creating a law but how do we implement it so that our children do not do ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Even in our homes in the rural areas, we have nylon papers. You will see what we call ‘paper bags’ strewn all over. People do not tell their children to collect those things and put them somewhere after using them. After they have used them, they dump them there instead of throwing them away. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also join other hon. Members. I took a bit of time to read this Report and I cherish it. It reflected on what we have been thinking that should be done by this House. First, I want to congratulate the Members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and its Chairman, hon. Ababu Namwamba for the good work they have done. This Report is an example for other Members of Parliament who are in different committees on the need to work hard so that we can bring out the ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: As we look at the way some Ministries run the affairs of Government, it makes us feel that we are letting down our own people if we cannot stand as this Committee stood to report these matters very clearly. Corruption in this country has pushed us behind every year. If we are not careful we may end up going back to those days when the Government was just appointing people to head departments and parastatals who would mismanage funds. If we want to reduce corruption in this country, we will do it through the Departmental Committees of this House. That ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: managers of our own resources. The few people who mismanage our industries live luxurious lives and the Government is not holding them to account. This House should stand like this Committee that has pointed out a lot of weaknesses by Government officials. I want to tell Members of the Parliament that it is only this House that will bring down corruption and we must stand together. Let us not criticise ourselves. Let us come here and discuss issues that can bring down corruption in this country. With those few remarks, I want to support the Report of this Committee very ... view

• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Some people, even from central Province never got any money from this compensation. The British government has apologised for the brutal killings and torture, which Kenyans went through and has accepted to settle the matter outside the courts. I call this a landmark decision by the government of the people, for the people and by the people. The British Government has accepted to release a further compensation on condition that only the victims who are still alive and can prove that they were tortured will be compensated. Only the children of the victims are ... view
