• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the correction on view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: . I am definitely not the Member for Kajiado South. I am the Member for Kajiado East. You are my neighbour. You should know better. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. As we said during Hon. Midiwo’s Motion on control of betting, this is a Bill whose time has come. Betting and gaming is a sector that has been left largely uncontrolled yet it is a sector which deals with huge amounts of money. We have companies like SportPesa and other lotteries. It is definitely more than welcome for the Government to start levying taxes on this sector. It is not just about taxation. Investigations in this area have to be done. As the Member for Kandara said, we need to ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a lot of noise going on here. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the protection. I was saying that this is an area that needs regulation even in terms of the age of participants. This is because our young people are getting roped into this whole thing through the digital instruments. They waste a lot of time and resources. There should be a way to regulate even the age of those who can participate and those who cannot in order for us to protect our youth. I support but the Government needs to be focused on regulation to particularly protect our young people. The electronic version ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Motion could not have come at a better time. I thank Hon. Midiwo for bringing it to the Floor of the House. The Motion is relevant and important. This House needs to take it with the seriousness it deserves. We have seen our children gambling, and wasting time trying to pursue what is not there. Kenyans lose money. The betting and gambling industry has become like a pyramid scheme. Kenyans have lost money, families have been broken, and a lot of pain has been caused to people. People lose money, and children lose school fees ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The previous speakers have raised a lot of issues. I do not intend to take a lot of time because there is a colleague who is giving me pressure to take one minute, so that he can also contribute. Hon. Midiwo and the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. A.B. Duale, and all those others who have included themselves in the list can only do an honourable thing to review the list because it looks like another portion of a different game plan. When we speak here, the leadership of the House, Leader of the Minority Party and the Leader ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Motion, but Hon. Midiwo and the leadership of the House, including the Speaker, should review the list of the Select Committee. Thank you. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. Infrastructure in this country is very important. We cannot overemphasise the same. If development of infrastructure was distributed equitably to every part of this country, we would have all the roads in all parts of this country being developed. I believe all Kenyans are hard workers and we would be able to move on in terms of development. As you are aware, quite a number of constituencies are suffering because of the issue of classification of roads. We have had the Council of Governors (CoG) going to court to stop ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was talking about the importance of this Bill. We cannot over-emphasise the necessity of infrastructure in all parts of this country especially the road network. This is what promotes development. I had gone ahead to state that Kajiado East Constituency is one of the constituencies that does not enjoy a single tarmac road. We have been looking forward, waiting and praying that, at least, the Isara-Mashuru-Kajiado Road will be done during this term of the Jubilee Government. If we will be fairly considered to have Isinya-Konza Road which is heading to the Konza City, I ... view
