• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: proceed to be a Bill so that we can get it working. People are waiting for the Government to supply water to them. When I gave my children portions of land, the land became very small. Each one of them got about two acres. They cannot do anything on that two acre piece of land without water. Water is now needed more than we used to ask for it. If the Government is not hurrying up to make water available to the people, food is going to be a problem in this country. Irrigation is now needed in western Kenya ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want, first, to thank Hon. Injendi for bringing this important Motion in this House so that we are able to consider leadership at the grassroots level. While I was seated here, I heard hon. Members in this House express themselves and I am happy at my age they know these people are important in all matters including security and land matters in this country. I want to thank Members of Parliament for what they have said. Lastly, I want to thank the Vice Chairlady of the Budget and ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Going by what I have been hearing in this House, many Members have given us enough education on how fish is handled in this country. There is need for this country to have a training school so that we can have people trained on how to handle fish and train our people on fishing. I want to support Mheshimiwa Mary Wambui on what she has said. I did not expect her to talk that much about fish. She knows more than me who stays around Lake Victoria. ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. Elections are very important and we should look at the general overview of people in this country. Everybody in this country wants good laws. I have seen elections happen now and then, but there are no cowards like politicians. They are so afraid that when they get to the position, they do not want others to be near them. This makes it difficult for us to get a level playing ground. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I have heard many of Members talk about this and have made many good proposals. I want to ask Members why they want to be elected, but do not want to give others an equal chance to compete with them. We want to help people in this country to understand elections. Everyone regardless of their education level is contributing to the wellbeing of this country. We do not want to deny anyone a chance to compete because they do not have a university degree. A degree is a good requirement. We should allow the people who do not have degrees, ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I wanted to bring to the attention of the Members the question of the NGCDF. When you compare it with county revenue, it is doing very well. One person started the NGCDF and it has reached where it is. County governments have governors, MCAs and County Executive Committees (CECs) who do not deliver. They do not give people fertilisers. Many people are suffering at the hands of our very educated officers. When they are given a job, they do not do it. I do not want to take a lot of time. My advice to Members is that we should ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I do not want to speak much and I support. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity so that I may also add my voice to this important Motion brought by Mheshimiwa Yusuf. Kamukunji is an old field in Nairobi that hosted many of our struggles for Independence of this country. We have been talking about democracy in this country from this ground. I am very happy to support this Motion. I also congratulate Mheshimiwa Yusuf Hassan for bringing this Motion to the Floor so that we can tell everybody in this country that this is a very important ground and it should be protected to ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity that I may also comment on this important Motion. I want to tell those Members who have talked before me that what they have expressed has been heard by this House. It has been noted and I hope that the Committee which has brought this Motion has heard. They will do the necessary next time when they are considering nominees. These are few appointments and I did not expect us to say what we have said. I want to urge the House to support this Motion. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. It is a very important Motion for this country. I do not know why it has taken a long time to come to the Floor of the House. Kenya is an agricultural and livestock farming country. It is also a major producer of cash crops that need to be marketed outside this country. It is important for us to have this Protocol, so that we can look for markets. Farmers in this country are hard working, but we lack markets. In most cases, we are too ... view
