• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second the Motion. This is a very important Policy Paper. Note that we have nearly a third of our population living in urban areas. That is where we are focusing our development. By the year 2030, 50 per cent of our population will be in urban centers. We are talking of 35 million to 40 million people. If we do not plan for it, we will be planning to fail. Note that, in many of the developed countries, they plan well and emphasize on emphasis on urbanization and industrialization. When we focus on ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: People in other countries, when they die, they are buried in a public cemetery and mostly in an urban centre where graves are protected. Here we have a culture whereby people are buried anywhere. In every farm in this country there is a graveyard and yet that is wrong. Since it is our culture, for now, we have to live with it but as we move into urbanization, we need to realize that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: we should change to a new way of life, culture and thinking. I want to ask this House to be part of this history. To be in a transitory mood is wrong. Many of the Nairobi planners think about their homes; they do not think they will live here in Nairobi and yet many of them end up spending 80 per cent of their lifetime in Nairobi. We need ambulance lanes and matatus phased out so that we can have a mass transit system. Indeed, that is how we can move 30 million people. view

• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we better have some respect for the House. If the list has been brought and there are faults owned by the Constituencies Development Fund Board, it is upon us as a House, not to drag us into some disrepute by passing it the way it is anyway and then we deal with the consequences. The best idea would be for the Member himself to seek the indulgence of the Chair and move an amendment that when we finish with the list, we omit the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: constituencies that can come at a later date. The House cannot be made to pass it the way it is. It is a very wrong notion. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, in totality, the purpose of an election is for the voice of the voter to be heard. During the day of voting, you may have careless election officers who might decide not to stamp some ballot papers or twist some things. It is upon us now to correct that issue and provide a condition that the outcome in totality must substantially affect the results for an election to be invalidated. If not, a technicality should not be what we are looking for. We should look for the substance. I thank the Chairman and the Committee for having brought ... view

• 10 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this good piece of law. You remember the issues that we have been grappling with, about the Supreme Court ruling, for nearly two months now. The country has been paralysed. In the process of paralysing the country, we have managed to create a moment of crisis. The element of crisis is not established in law.
