• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I want to appeal to my fellow male colleagues. When we have more women in Parliament, it does not mean that women want to overlook or “sit” on men. For example, in Genesis Chapter 2 Verse 8 in the Bible, God says that it is not good for man to be alone. I will make him a helper. So, the woman was created as a man’s companion. It is in that respect that as we collaborate together for reproduction, it is important that we also collaborate together for leadership. It is in that spirit that we desire this particular Bill ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. Thank you. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the mediated version of the Climate Change Bill. I feel privileged that the Bill came this far for some of us to give our input. I congratulate Hon. (Dr.) Wilbur Otichilo for the effort he has put into this Bill. One key thing about the mediated Bill is the inclusion of the civil society representation on the board. For a long time, when we talk about Wanjiku, in most cases, the mainstream Government structures may not capture isolated marginalised cases that need to be noticed. The civil society is very key ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: captured. Therefore, their inclusion is very key. I commend the Mediation Committee for what it has done. I also thank the Senate for their input into this Bill. World over, climate change is a big problem. Kenya is on record as being among the first few countries that have come up with laws on climate change. This is something we must strongly commend. As Kenyans, we must be proud of it. It is high time that this Bill was assented to by His Excellency the President. This will make Kenya go down in history as one of the first countries ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to the State of Nation Address by His Excellency the President. I am glad with what the President spoke about. His concern for our soldiers in Somalia is great for the nation. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, before I make any further comment, I want to applaud the Speaker for the manner in which he handled issues in the House that day. As a leader, I am happy with what the President outlined. One key thing that came out is that the Government waived examination fees for students in our schools. That in itself was helpful to the poor person who is not able to raise examination fees. This is something that goes down in history. It trickles down to the very poor person who is assisted in this manner. We will witness poor students completing ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Secondly, electricity has been spread all over the country. In a single year, about 1.2 million homes have been connected to the national grid. This is something that was not there before. The rate at which electricity is being connected to households in the rural areas is the highest in the history of Kenya. This is of great concern to our people. In my Bungoma County, almost all markets, for example, Kamukuywa Market, can now run for 24 hours simply because there is electricity. The local people can do their business for 24 hours if they wish. That is something ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) has created employment and about 27,000 people have been employed. This is one major step towards creating employment The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: in Kenya. As leaders, we must benchmark our discussions and what we want the nation to know. We are taking Kenyans for granted and assuming that they are not intelligent enough to understand what we talk about and see what is happening. The truth is that we must work towards harmony and unifying our country. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I have heard a speaker commenting about the President’s Speech and saying that covenants are made by churches and we are not a church. Leadership comes from God. If there is any leader who thinks that leadership does not come from God, they do not know what they are talking about. The Bible says that Moses was a great leader, but one key virtue that he had was that he was the meekest man on the face of the earth. We must emulate him. If we want to be great, we should not hurl insults at each other. We should ... view
