• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Bill. As it has been said by my colleagues, the importance of a national library cannot be overemphasised. We have had a poor reading culture in this country. It is high time we focused on how to encourage our people to develop a reading culture. More specifically, I am supporting it because I am encouraging the National Library Service function to be devolved to all the counties. Some of our counties do not have library services. As it has been said, this will create ... view

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: As I finish, the young people are faced with many challenges. They have a challenge of getting information and doing proper research. That is why as much as we fairly compete within the East African Community, when you go out there, for some of us who have taken our children for studies abroad, the kind of research that is done by those students compared to ours, calls for serious investment in proper research. This will ensure that we have leaders who can critically think about issues and reflect. view

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this debate. As I rise to add my voice to this debate, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the President for the many issues he captured. The President talked about the COVID-19 pandemic especially on administrative intervention. I commend him for that because due to the timely lockdown, at the onset of Coronavirus, we were able to sort of reduce the spread. However, I expected much more in terms of the long-term measures. This is a disease that is likely to be with ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Secondly, on matters education, I would like to commend the Government especially when the President said that they were able to provide student text books to the ratio of 1 to 1 especially from Grade One to Grade Three. That will go a long way in addressing some of the challenges in our public schools. However, I just want to be fair by mentioning these issues. The other positive issue that I want to talk about is what the President talked about, the ease of doing business global ranking report that placed Kenya at position 56 out of 189. That ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I also expected the President to talk about the ballooning debt ceiling. If we do not address that, it will mean we are not serious as a nation. I know the Chinese will be knocking our doors for their loans. I am worried. We might lose the Port of Mombasa. We might lose our airport. I also expected the President to talk about corruption. The issue of corruption seems to be a political statement which has now gone under. view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I wish I had more time, however, I will go to the issue that is very emotive to my heart; the BBI. The only good thing about the BBI is the preamble. Words that talk about equity, equality, national ethos and shared prosperity. I cannot pick one incident to confirm to those preambles. When you talk about resource allocation, 18 counties out of 47 are going to lose if the BBI will go through. God forbid. view
