• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to also speak to this amendment and a well thought out idea. As you are aware, dynamics in Kenya are changing every day. Climate change is occurring in every part of the country. There are some regions which initially were considered as “bathroom” such as Kisii, but now things are different because of climatic changes all over the world. When this Committee, in their wisdom, thought that the setting up of an office should reflect the needs and the changes on the ground, I think they were prophetic because they must have ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: the bigger picture and not just focusing on the drought-prone areas. They should focus on regions that might easily slide into this category so that we can reduce the burden to the country. With those few remarks, I support the amendment. view

• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support these nominees. I want to start by saying that the President has done very well by exercising what Chapter Six talks about in terms of people who have proven not to be corrupt in any way.

• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: so doing, he will have encouraged them to work harder. They will be motivated to support this economy and even be tax compliant like we have been doing in the past. We will appreciate that when people work hard, they are recognised and supported by the Government. My colleagues have talked about the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). They need to be careful in future, because the way they have handled prosecutions has not gone down very well with a majority of people. There are people whose careers have been destroyed just because of their actions. Take an example ... view
