• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion for guaranteeing a loan from the European Investment Bank to support the expansion of JKIA. If you have been to JKIA of late you will realize that work is already going on there and, indeed, expansion is needed to make JKIA grow and become a hub for the airlines industry in this region and it is already doing so. If you go to JKIA you will see the congestion that we are experiencing. People have observed that Kenya Airways have had problems of late but I associate these problems ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, personally, I want to plead with hon. Members. The words of the amendment are very clear. It says “to be allocated not more than---“, which means that you have the latitude to allocate between zero per cent and 25 per cent. A situation arises in a particular case where a poor parent has a son or daughter who has been offered a place in university but that student has not yet accessed bursary funds. In that critical term, the Member of Parliament and the CDFC should have the leverage to use that window of opportunity to ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I regard this fiscal cliff as a very healthy sign that Members of this august House have keen eyes on matters of money and are very focused on ensuring that devolved funds are available to counties as indeed those of us who are eyeing Senate seats and governor seats in the counties must make sure that come next year, these counties have enough resources to move on. I think that is a positive sign. The other thing that is important is the wake-up call for us in the Government to ensure that when such emotions come ... view

• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the whole idea of parliamentary debates is that we learn to exchange ideas and to listen to each other however difficult what is being discussed is. I do believe that as we consult, rather than vote with our feet in protest, let us engage in discourse so that we may save this nation. I think this nation is greater than individuals and if we parliamentarians show that we respect the interest of our people, I think we shall be held in high esteem. I think after our consultations, we do have a solution at hand. ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me thank the hon. Members of the House for supporting this Bill and emphasizing issues of security, standards and proper management in the airline industry. Having said that, I want to address two aspects of the aviation industry which are extremely important in this country. If you look at the growth of the aviation industry in view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to support the Motion, but also say that in this Kenya Law Reform Commission Bill, I plead with the Attorney-General and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs that the common man is suffering because when lawyers are paid money on behalf of their clients, more often than not, they view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support. Let us extend time. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry I jumped the gun earlier on because I was very enthusiastic about the point I wanted to make about the legal profession in this country. I hope that the Kenya Law Reform Commission will reform the laws and regulations regarding discipline in the profession. Try as they may call each other “my learned friend” and all that, when it comes to regard to the common man, there is absolute indiscipline in the legal profession. The common man does not have an avenue for addressing the legal profession when they are injured, either ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Procedural Motion. I would like to appeal to hon. Members, as you can see on the Order Paper, we have a lot of work to do. I am sure that hon. Members should appreciate the fact that they, too, would like to finish the business of this House and proceed to their constituencies to campaign for their re-election. I believe that the reason as to why the House Business Committee proposed this Procedural Motion is so that we can do two things; accomplish the work before us in the House and give ... view
