• 1 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to also speak to this wonderful Motion on the Report from Hon. Wangari Mwaniki, the Member of Parliament for Kigumo Constituency. This goes to tell us of the value of getting experts to handle issues. The topic is technical but the way it has been simplified by Hon. Wangari Mwaniki has made it so easy for all of us to understand, and more so to understand the importance of the ACP-EU programme. It is a programme which has really enhanced the economy of Kenya. It is a programme which is adding ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to congratulate our colleagues for the well-deserved victory. I want to take this opportunity to wish my colleagues a happy New Year and merry Christmas. I also wish you and your constituents a happy New Year and merry Christmas. You have done a good job to manage the House so well. I am happy because we have conducted ourselves with decorum which is a sign of maturity. It also shows that we are a mature economy and we have a political system which can conduct itself in a manner ... view
• 14 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: I am happy for those who won. I wish those who did not make it another opportunity. I am sure God will open a way for them. I would have loved more of them to do better than they did, but that is life. We wish them well. I am sure in the fullness of time; God will open an opportunity for every one of them. view
• 7 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity also to speak to this Motion. First, I thank the Chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee, Hon. Katoo, for a job well done. Indeed, as Hon. Florence said, this is a well organised Member of Parliament. I have known him for many years as a very disciplined person. Clearly, the Report the Committee has presented to Parliament today demonstrates the kind of qualities he and his team have. They did the job in a record of three sittings. That takes quite a lot of sacrifice and that is the kind ... view
• 7 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: the people who have been shortlisted here. Those who will make it to that level will guide him. In that way, we will have succession. You can remember Okonkwo who kept on asking where the young suckers were so that they could take over from the old ones when the old ones are cut off. These are the kinds of people who will drive the Kenyan agenda and replace the old ones when they are gone. We need to train the people we will choose, both the old and the young. Mr. Charles Ayako Nyachae has been nominated by the ... view
• 7 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Report. view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, at the outset, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Speaker of the National Assembly for the victory well deserved. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you, Deputy Speaker for your victory and coming in unopposed. You have served Kenya well and that is why nobody saw it fit to challenge you. It is because of your leadership skills and contributions in the last Parliament. view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the people of Nyaribari Chache for the chance they have given me to serve them as a Member of Parliament. The period I was a Member of Parliament, having come in through a by-election, was short and yet I was able to deliver a number of projects. I really appreciate that. It is on that account that I want to say that President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and his Deputy have served this country with a lot of dedication and hard work and they have been able to start projects which require ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Our President and the Deputy President have started a number of projects in the country and they have appreciated the fact that education is the only equaliser we have in this country. If a bright child from a poor family gets an opportunity to excel in education without being held by financial challenges of the family, that would be a good way to help the country grow to the next level. From next year, we are going to have free boarding education in both primary and secondary schools. This will offer a good opportunity for every child in Kenya to ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The President’s Speech had some very clear points to all of us. He truly has the interest of Kenya at heart and he cares about the quality of life that Kenyans are supposed to enjoy. He spoke on issues which touch on every family in Kenya. He spoke to the issue of cash transfer for the old people. Our old people have not enjoyed their lives because the money they are getting is not enough and the opportunities to earn a living for them are not many. We, therefore, have a duty as a country to ensure that these people ... view
