• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, some roads have been devolved and will be maintained by the county governments.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the rejection as proposed by the Chairperson of the Committee. The reduction of the period from five years to three years would be conflicting. I support the rejection. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the Senate proposed amendment because it seeks to align the clause. Initially, the word “agencies” was omitted. Aligning it will give it a better meaning. view

Somebody who borrowed money at the rate of 17 per cent ends up repaying ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: about 20 years ago and depositors have not been paid to date. What is going to happen now that Chase Bank, Imperial Bank and other banks have gone under? Depositors who had kept their hard-earned money end up losing all their fortune within a very short time. This Bill is timely and should be supported by all and sundry.

These are all caused by bad management of the environment.
