• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on the appointment of Dr. Jane Wangui Kiringai. The position of Chairperson for Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) affects us. Anyone who is appointed should understand the development of this country so that, when funds are allocated, they are properly utilized. Records must be there to show how funds have been allocated and spent. According to the Committee’s Report, Dr. Jane Wangui is the relevant candidate for that job. She has the required qualifications for that position. She has worked for international bodies. I think she will do well ... view

• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. As a country, we must respect our farmers. This House must show dairy farmers that we support livestock and livestock products. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you will agree with me that in Kenya, we have good livestock for meat, but people are now slaughtering donkeys for us to eat. Our livestock can produce enough meat for Kenyans, but because of mismanagement at the KMC, we have insufficient meat supplies. Our livestock sector is not catered for and people are sneaking donkey meat into the market. ... view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity that I may also contribute on this important Bill on privatisation in this country. I stand to support this Bill and I want to say that I listened very carefully to those who have spoken and I see now that Parliament is alive and keen. If the Privatisation Commission is there, I think it will rise up to the expectations of the people of Kenya because when you look at parastatals and other organisations where our Government has had interest, the Government has invested so much in this privatisation ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We should not bring in personal politics. I want to say that I have seen how privatisation in this country has gone to wastage. They privatise a government parastatal and it ends up in ruin and collapse. I am happy Hon. Chris Wamalwa has said much about this. I do not want to repeat but even now, I am getting worried that we want to do privatisation of other parastatals and I am opposed to it. If we get this Bill passed before we finish this 11th Parliament and the Government implements it, I ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: people are worried. Two or three people sit somewhere and decide that we should buy this firm or parastatal. They go and sit, work it out and buy it. Look at Pan-African Paper Mills, it stands on 300 acres, and then the factory itself and yet they have bought it at Kshs900 million. Then you say: “What is wrong with Kenya of today?” I support this amendment because it is going to save public money, public investment and the economy of this country can be seen to be working out. view
