• 9 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. My question is on hardship allowance. I remember about four months ago, I brought this issue to this House, and the Cabinet Secretary came here. My question was that teachers are running away from schools in Narok North and Central because their colleagues in neighbouring constituencies are beneficiaries of hardship allowance. The allowance makes teachers go to other schools. As we speak here, we have a shortage of teachers in all the schools in my area, and the reason is that teachers are running away to neighbouring schools. I think my ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am still waiting for the answer from the Cabinet Secretary. I remember bringing that question to this House, but it has not been answered. Could the Cabinet Secretary tell me why I have not got an answer for the Question and yet the problem is still there? Thank you. view
• 9 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. This Bill will remove the 20 per cent excise duty on imported transformers and transformer parts and facilitate the assembling of transformers in Kenya. Electricity is very important, especially in rural areas. Young men are moving to towns in search of jobs. The moment they have electricity in their villages, they can create jobs for themselves. view
• 9 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: In a constituency like the one I represent, secondary schools and learning institutions are not connected to electricity. The other day, a woman was delivering in a maternity ward, and the matron had to use her phone to assist the woman because some health centres do not have electricity. This Bill is important because it will ensure that all villages get connected. Electricity connectivity in my constituency is less than 10 per cent. I support this Bill to ensure that all villages have electricity. We need electricity. When a Member of Parliament is in their constituency, everybody approaches them because ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to end by saying we need electricity. People seriously need electricity because it helps to reduce poverty. Young people can create jobs for themselves. Women can use electricity at night to do their work. Our women long for electricity. I support the 20 per cent reduction of excise duty to allow local assembly of transformers. When we have locally assembled transformers, we will reduce their theft because there will be no market. Transformers will be very cheap and the Government will afford to connect all villages to electricity. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Member who raised this issue. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: I am the peoples’ representative and I agree that we met the Cabinet Secretary. Our problem is not whether or not we met the Cabinet Secretary. We had a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary, but the agreements we made were not honoured. Our people are still struggling. Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that certain people imported wheat into the country while our people were harvesting wheat and nobody is buying it? What do they want our people to do? It is wrong for this Government to import wheat while the wheat in Narok has not been bought. What do they ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: We also have a share in this Government. We have a right to determine what should happen to us. The response is wrong. Only two lorries of wheat have been bought. The rest of the wheat is still in the NCPB stores, which are not very good. That wheat is already rotting. We took the issue to the Cabinet Secretary and we agreed that the Government would buy the wheat within two weeks. I support the Member who has requested for this Statement. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this issue of hardship areas. I brought this issue before the House last year. My constituency qualifies to be a hardship area. I say so because teachers are running away from schools in my constituency. My neighbouring constituencies are all beneficiaries of hardship allowances but no area in Narok North Constituency has been classified as a hardship area. The teachers in that constituency suffer a lot because they travel many kilometres to reach schools. We have no roads. Those teachers have no houses within school compounds, ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Liaison Committee Report on the BPS. view
