• 11 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to advise my brother, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism, that you must put your foot down because this is squarely your mandate and whatever the Senate is doing is useless. As a matter of fact, the other day there were skirmishes in Laikipia and we wanted to go and investigate. A week before, this Committee went there against security advice. The Committee on Security from the Senate was there saying it was the one which was mandated. I wonder because we are in this ... view
• 11 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: why should I be running after somebody who is running to do my work when they can as well be doing devolution work and overseeing governors who are wasting our resources and they are not going to oversee them?

Deputy Speaker, I have left you to determine as the head of the institution what we need to do with those who are interfering with our mandate so that you can also advise and guide us accordingly. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the chance. I was looking at the Order Paper and I can see the request for Statement is supposed to be designated to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. However, in his submission, Hon. Duale has asked for a joint Statement from the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. My query is how is this going to be done and who will take responsibility, because his request reads differently? view

• 9 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was answering a question which was brought to me and then I realised that you had given me a chance. Otherwise, let me weigh in on this matter. It is true that the country has been partially opened and the curfew has been lifted. At the same time, truth be told like what Members have said, the disease has not gone and it is still with us. We must be quite careful how we handle the situation. Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal has said that we have done about five to seven per cent vaccination and yet ... view
