• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You are always considerate. In our next life, you will be my president. We need to empower ladies. The Bible is very clear that if you cannot be trusted with small things, you cannot be trusted with bigger things. You have been trusted with this and you have been fair in your judgement. Right now, you have been fair to me and to the country. As I wind up, I want to emphasise the point that it is important we make the law. But as we make the law, it is not right to ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also support this Bill. I want to acknowledge what my colleagues have said. This is a forward-looking Bill. The amendments are coming from a doctor, our friend Hon. Mishra. He has taken time to go through the system and understands the challenges that we face as a country. This is a Bill that is going to cure the challenges that we face as a country. As my colleagues have said, the amount of foreign exchange we lose to foreign countries in the name of fundraising for our friends, ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Look at Hon. Mishra. In a short period of time, he has been able to establish one of the best hospitals, not just in Kenya, but in East and Central Africa, by using local experts. That is a demonstration of the capacity we have as a country. If we have many people coming up with such facilities, Kenya is going to have good medical facilities for our people so that they do not have to go abroad. If foreign doctors want to treat our people, they can come and use our local services, lease our hospitals and use our people. ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker and my Chairman, Hon. Maoka, my namesake for moving this important list of nominees for appointment to the NG-CDF committees. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is important for Members and the country to appreciate that NG-CDF is one of the institutions in this Government that works and has proved to be working. This is especially now, when the President has given orders on how to manage the re-opening of schools. There is need for us to have the money urgently and if not now, it should have been yesterday. So, we are able to support the schools to reopen. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: The President has given a directive that we need to build classrooms in every school to accommodate the new order of social distancing and sitting arrangement. We have also been instructed to make desks which some of us have been doing for schools. For this to happen, we need to have those committees in place for the constituencies which were not able to do so in time. I also take this opportunity to ask the Government and the National Treasury to release the NG-CDF money. This is because most constituencies have not received even 50 per cent. Yet, we are ... view

• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me an opportunity. Whereas I am supporting the amendment by the Chair, I am concerned because there are too many toll stations being erected by county governments. Are they affected by this arrangement? If yes, are we not causing confusion in the system? That is why we need clarity in terms of definition. We need to know which toll stations are being affected. We know definition is everything in law. view
