• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I noted that Hon. Farah Maalim was eating in the House. Although I have been around for long, I am not sure about the exact rule on eating in the august House. He has been eating nuts. The nuts are still here. He ate them and did not even give me a piece. He has left the nuts here, and I do not know whether I am supposed to continue eating them. I just want to know if eating in the House is allowed. I am also asking this for the benefit of first-term Members to learn. ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Yes, thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I would like to add my voice to the matter raised by Hon. Cynthia Muge, which is extremely important. The greatest concern is our children, young people out there, who are suffering in the Middle East. I would encourage the Committee to urge the Ministry of Labour to become more involved, particularly with private agencies as they appear to be the root cause of the problem. The recruitment agencies must be regulated by the government. This is something that the Committee must investigate and seek ways of monitoring those who leave the ... view

• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to comment, especially on the matter raised by Hon. Kamene. I fully feel her. When a project takes 10 years and people have not benefited, it stops being useful, even though we allocate budgets every financial year. In the corridors of power, the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation has told us that he believes the most useful projects in this country are small ones that are implemented and completed within one or two years, giving people access to water. The budget for water is ... view
• 30 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Yes, Galana Kulalu. The Committee funds several projects in one year, including dams. The other day, he gave two dams to my constituency, and people now have access to water. These are small projects worth Ksh20 million, Ksh30 million, up to Ksh100 million. However, the Thwake Dam, which is expected to serve Machakos, Makueni and Kitui counties, requires billions of shillings. Kitui South Constituency is 150 kilometres from that dam. Billions of shillings go to huge projects, and the Committee does not have much control. I am sorry to say that we keep financing these projects for the benefit of ... view

• 29 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to welcome all students seated in the Public Gallery. Ikutha is one of the furthest places in Kitui South. I also welcome the students from Kisii. This is a House where many decisions concerning this country are made. We went through schools similar to Ikutha Girls. I actually went to Muthale Girls, which is more or less at the same level as Ikutha Girls. I want to encourage the students that they can be what they want to be if only they fix their eyes on the ball. I encourage them ... view
• 29 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support Hon. Dekow's position that this university must be funded. We should not forget the circumstances that led to its closure. If I am correct, we lost 148 students on 2nd April 2015. Certain things are extremely important as we work towards ensuring this university gets budgetary allocations. I want to tell Hon. Dekow, Hon. Keynan, and all other Members from Northern and Eastern Kenya that the people who attacked students in Garissa University originated from my Kitui South Constituency, a place called South Kitui Game Reserve. We have now seen efforts of ... view
