• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I did consult with the CS, National Treasury and he said he would be travelling with the President to the USA and will be back on Wednesday morning. So, he has proposed that we set a meeting with him on Thursday then we can table a Report by the afternoon. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, and in the afternoon we will table the figures that we are looking for. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you follow that route, it will delay a lot of Motions from coming before the Floor of the House, given that when you are approving a Motion to come before the House, you must make sure it does not have financial implications. So, to avoid that, urging should also be taken as resolving. The Committee on Implementation should not take the issue of resolving and urging together, when it has financial implications. This Motion has financial implications. By the time you bring it, you must ensure relevant consultations are done with the National Treasury. That is ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the chance to make a comment about that Petition. I think it is good for the committee, when they are dealing with this Petition to visit the site of the grievances. You realise that they share a border with Isiolo and its pastoralist neighbours of the Samburu and others. In the process, they have invited even the Turkanas who have settled in quite large chunks of Tigania East, Igembe Central and parts of Igembe North. I happen to share the largest border of nearly 200 kilometres. We have had problems with rampant cattle rustling. I ... view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: capital offence. They used to use spears and arrows. Nowadays they use AK-47 riffles. There is no African culture which includes as part of paraphernalia an AK-47 riffle. Those are gangsters who need the army to step in and shoot them on sight. Failure to do that will cause a big problem in this country. Those who want to invest in cattle cannot do it because some barefooted thugs want to come and mess you up. This is a very serious Petition ever to come to the Floor of this House. We need to have far, final and firm position ... view
• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support, but I would not wish it to be a Petition. Petitions take 60 days at the minimum or even 70 or 90 days to be expedited. If there is a recess in between, it will even be longer. Uchumi Supermarket Limited is not a private organisation. It is a Government parastatal. It would be easy and fair to the workers if we can have a process whereby the Cabinet Secretaries of Industry, Trade and Co- operatives or of Labour and Social Protection would intervene and have the workers dues settled as they suffer the ... view
• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: flood or an earthquake. I wish the Member would pursue it differently because if you go by this route of a Petition, I can foresee a story whereby even next year, it may not have been resolved. We need a quicker mechanism to urgently address the suffering of the workers at Uchumi. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I also put forward a very strong statement of gratitude to that ruling. I wish to say that it has nearly rewritten the Speaker’s Handbook. When I raised the matter, there was a lot of negative excitement. It dangerously put the House in a bad light by the fact that it was on live television. Members did not discover that I was covering their nakedness. Instead, they want to put it on the face and boast about it. So, I appreciate the fact that you have gone through all details and given the procedures and the traditions of what a ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wanted to comment on the two petitions. First, the Member for Embakasi West had the request to go soft or somehow allow the machines that have destroyed families. I remember several kids have committed suicide. They are given money by their parents to go and pay school fees but they go either to SportPesa or those machines. I wish the Committee would be courageous and seek the indulgence of the Communications Authority (CA) and telephone companies to stop it, because that one has no age limit and there is no way of controlling it. ... view
