• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, recently, there has been a sharp rise in the killing of elephants in our forests. What is the Ministry doing to protect this game? view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to wholeheartedly thank the hardworking Minister for Finance for keeping his words and commitments to this House. Now, we are excited that all the projects that we have started in our constituencies such as schools and health centres will be completed. I appreciate the efforts of the Minister. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start by thanking the Chairman of this Committee, Dr. Monda and his Committee Members for doing a good job on this Bill. This Bill touches on the lives of Kenyans. It also seeks to set very high standards for our people. It also seeks to increase the life expectancy of our people. To do that, the Authority is expected to be given adequate funds in order to procure the necessary drugs for our hospitals. Time and again, the KEMSA has not been able to deliver satisfactory services in this country. Drugs have not ... view

• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am in concurrence with the other hon. Members of this House who have said that a President who is popularly elected by the people should retire and enjoy credible retirement.

• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, briefly, let me start by acknowledging the good work that has been done by Mr. Keynan in drafting this timely Bill. This Bill is seeking to recognize heroic deeds by Kenyans in this country. I recall that in 1972, Phillip Waruinge was the first Kenyan pugilist boxer to get a silver medal and up to now this Kenyan has not been recognized. That also includes John Oruru and others. In the social life, we have seen prominent people like Mailu, a very prolific writer and Ngugi wa Thiong’o and Micere Mugo who were very patriotic ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. The Vice-President is elected popularly by the people together with the President. Earlier on we agreed that it is prudent to send off a retiring president with some benefits and, therefore, it would be wrong to deny his immediate deputy some benefits. When they retire, the two will be visiting one another. You can imagine the position of the retired president being a very dignified position and his deputy in a pauper-like position. Therefore, it is important to recognize the sterling performance of a ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this very important Bill. We are all aware that recently, our chiefs were staging very serious demonstrations because they were anxious about their working conditions and even their future. Their fate was not known. I am excited when I read Clause 19 where the positions of those servants of the people have been saved. Chiefs and assistant chiefs are respected and responsible leaders in the areas they operate. At times, the assistant chiefs do not sleep because they are concerned with the security of the people. They are also concerned ... view
• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has admitted that these families have been living there for so long. Could the Ministry consider allocating the occupied land to the same families, so that they could be happy like other Kenyans? view
• 27 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, recently there was rampant theft of transformers in the whole country. What is the Ministry doing to make sure that transformers are secure and services are constantly available to wananchi? view
