• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Social Security Fund and the National Hospital Insurance Fund. The council needs to take care of the funds under its care. With those few remarks, I do support the Bill. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will be very brief. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is better for us to pass those amendments. Some of the things which are happening in our county assemblies are being tied by this National Assembly. In my county, we have not even changed the land control boards that were there before because we have not changed some of the laws. Therefore, we should pass those amendments. However, I still have a problem with the export of macadamia and bixa. When we give a window to the Cabinet Secretary to issue permits, we are creating room for nepotism and corruption. Why should we not come ... view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, before the coming in of Chinese companies before 2010 to buy the Macadamia nuts, the prices of the nuts were below Kshs20 per kilogramme. When the Chinese companies came, the price rose to about Kshs100 per kilogramme. That is when a cartel of traders joined hands and started interfering with the pricing. They started fighting the foreign investors. Could the Chairman tell us how many companies are buying Macadamia nuts and who those companies are? Tell us the foreign ones and the local ones. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute towards this very important Motion on the BPS. If we are to move ahead, we have to cater for 60 per cent of the youth in this country. We have to give them a budget as this will move the economy of this country forward. As I speak, we are about to distribute to our youth the Uwezo Fund, but the majority of them do not have enough skills to move forward in business. That is one of the things that we should do to make our young people ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: railway started from Nairobi to Nanyuki. Today, you cannot go to Nanyuki because you cannot go beyond Githurai. We ask the Committee to look into maintenance of the railway line from Nairobi to Nanyuki, so that we can transport our goods to this area. We have a problem of pending bills, which have not been paid for quite a long time. We have teachers who retired in 1997, and to date they have not been paid their retirement benefits, which they were awarded by a court. They need to get them. We have other people who worked for the East ... view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: urge the Members that once the Motion comes to this House, we all support it. We have to do it for the betterment of this country. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion by the Jubilee Chairman. It now looks like things are going on very well. What started as a campaign pledge from the Jubilee Coalition and subsequently as a Presidential directive is now becoming a full law, courtesy of our able Chairman, hon. Sakaja. It will be pointless for us to give the youth and women of this country the chance to do business with the Government, only for the Government to overstay with their money. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: We have a case where the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has failed to pay its suppliers since 2010, when we had the National Referendum on the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. If we go that way, we will be impoverishing the youth more than they are currently. We should appreciate the fact that the youth do not even have access to bank loans due to lack of collateral. I would like some of those processes shortened, so that they can be allowed to even use Local Purchase Orders (LPOs) that they will be given for supplies as collateral for ... view
