• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: She happens to be a friend. First of all, I want to send heartfelt condolences to the families of Kenyans who have lost their lives in the current floods that are ravaging the whole country. We have that experience in Budalangi and we know how much disastrous it is. When floods come, they wash away all your houses, belongings and whenever you run away to higher grounds, that water comes with waterborne diseases and with a lot of mosquitoes that will bring malaria and the death rate is always very high in those areas that are affected by floods. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: This is something the Government must address. On the issue of floods in most areas, the locals have solutions, but they do not have the capacity to do whatever they want to do. We have also been let down by the Government officers because they do not want to consult the locals on how to solve the issues of flooding.

These are the issues the Government must work on. view

It is working at the Kisumu Port. We saw what is supposed to be done. They only require Kshs320 million to desilt the rivers. Let the Government provide that money. The dredger will even work today as we are talking. However, they want water to go into peoples’ homes, destroy their property and the UN gives them billions which they will not spend on the people.

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the issue being raised before this House touches on the integrity of Members of Parliament. A mistake was made when this Parliament set up the Media Centre. In Kenya, we believe in people with experience.

What they are doing here is to malign Members of Parliament through the media houses they come from. view
