• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to give my input into this constitution making process. From the outset, I want to confirm my support for the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill which is on the Floor of the House. I tend to ask myself a question: Is there any improvement on the gains of the Constitution 2010 which was passed earlier? I can confirm yes. view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Another thing which I need to confirm to those who are very young, Kenya has come a very long way. We had a session where we repealed Section 2A for us to increase the democratic space of this country. But the Constitution of Kenya 2010 has given us more democratic space in this country so that we can live in peace and tranquility. As far as devolution is concerned, this Constitution provides an increment of 35 per cent and equal increase of ward funds which will be dispersed to various wards, which are over 1,500. This is a clear testimony ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: All MPs in this House can attest to the contributions of the NG-CDF. They have always known there have been whims from other people to profligate NG-CDF. Today, I can say that through the NG-CDF, for the last three years, I have done tremendous development in my constituency including the construction of five girls’ secondary schools. So, I can be assured of the continuity of the NG-CDF in respective constituencies to develop various needs and this is enshrined and anchored in this Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. What more are we looking for? The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Before the handshake, you can remember there was tremendous violence in this country. The economy was coming to its knees. The growth we had done in earlier years was negated through demonstrations. To some extent, there was ultra vires swearing in of another counterpart in Uhuru Park. Today, those men have agreed to sit down together and see how we can support inclusivity in the country. There is an expanded Executive, and about 108 Members from pastoral communities, which is sizeable. But in the current Constitution, we cannot see ourselves being the presidents of this country or deputy president. This ... view

• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to send a word of condolence to the people of Kiambaa and the family of the late Koinange. I have interacted with the people of Kiambaa and the family of Koinange since 1975 when my brother, who was then a Member of Parliament, was a Member of the J.M Kariuki Committee. Hon. Mbiyu Koinange, who was the then Member of Parliament for Kiambaa and advisor to His Excellency President Kenyatta, was adversely mentioned. From that time, the people of Kiambaa happened to be our good friends, as well as the Karumes, ... view
• 18 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to speak on behalf of the majority of the Members and this House. It is fair to give a true picture of the disbursement that has been going in the current financial year, which started on 1st July 2020. I wish to confirm that in the last financial year, we had arrears averaging Kshs17 million per constituency. So, we had an outstanding payment of projects which were due to receive a total of Kshs17 million in that financial year. In the ongoing fiscal year, we have a total disbursement of Kshs36.4 billion, which amounts ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to give my input with regard to this Bill - the Crops (Amendment) Bill. Kenya as a nation has relied heavily on crop production and agriculture as a whole. Agriculture is a major income earner for our country. Over the years, there have been significant contributions from agriculture. But we have not been careful in terms of apportioning significant The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
