• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I have looked at these amendments. I have read the Report very keenly - more than 10 times. We have been told that these amendments will address the issue of inclusivity. From what has been proposed, I see that the offices that are being created are for one coalition. There before, governments were formed by coalitions when it was said we did not have inclusivity. I do not know how the new positions coming from one side of the coalition will address inclusivity. In my thinking, probably, naively, I thought that the formation of 47 county governments addressed the issue ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Looking at the schedule that details how constituencies will be delineated, I want to say that, at the outset, the people of Nyeri, where I come from, have no business supporting these constitutional amendments because of discrimination. They were discriminated against because when the BBI proponents went to seek their views, they did not tell them to give views about creating extra constituencies, the formulae for their creation and the criterion. Kieni Constituency is 52 per cent of Nyeri County. I have seen other counties being proposed to have some extra constituencies. Mathira, which I represent, is a very big ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: proponents that they will have a very difficult time in Nyeri. It is not easy coming to tell people to support something when they feel discriminated. I talk for the people of Kieni. I have two farms there in Kabaru and in Kakuret. Although my brother and friend, Hon. Kanini Kega, is supporting that we go ahead and leave out the people of Nyeri, I must talk for the people of Kieni where I am a resident and where I have a farm. We shall have a problem with this document. We do not want discrimination in this country. We ... view

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain what measures are being taken by the Ministry to ensure that the police in Mathira Constituency do not appear to be unable, unwilling or reluctant to apprehend the criminal gang members that cause fear among view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: riders and the public? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on the status of investigations into the abduction and subsequent murder of the following boda boda riders: Anthony Miano Wanjiru of ID No.33025624; Eliud Wambu Waruguru of ID No.27140710; Timothy Wanjohi of ID No.37831050; William Kirii Gathu of ID No.23045966; Elija Wahogo Gathogo of ID No.34200516; and Alex Wambugu Gichuki of ID number 32971905, which was committed on diverse dates in 2020 and 2021 within Mathira Constituency and the actions taken to apprehend the perpetrators of the heinous act?

• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion for the formation of this Fund. We know some money has already been given to this Fund. We remember the Governor of Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and, the people fighting corruption have given Kshs2 billion. The Governor has given Kshs7 billion yet nobody is talking about food for the people. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: The Governor of Central Bank of Kenya. Nobody is talking about food for our people and we have a daily Press conference where the CS for Health is giving a very good update - and people are very happy - about how many people have died, how many are sick and how many have been tested. He has also been telling Kenyans to wash their hands, sanitize their hands, and not to leave their house. People are glued to the screen waiting for somebody to appear after CS Mutahi Kagwe is through with the information on people who are sick, ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is no death that is less painful. We are protecting our people from dying from Coronavirus, but it will be absurd if we push them to die from hunger. Kenyans are very responsible people. They are very compliant and they have obeyed everything they have been told by the Government. People have stopped working. Those who were in the transport industry are at home. Those who are running bars are at home. People who were earning a living have no money, they do not have a shilling. We want the Chairperson of the Fund together with the ... view
