• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: As I talk for the country, I must talk for my constituency. I have several roads that are ongoing. If we do not establish this bond for roads, we run the risk of those roads that have been contracted for three years, going to eight or 10 years. I cry for my people from Konyu Ward who have never seen a tarmac road since Independence. Now that a contractor is on site, if this bond sees the light of the day, the road will be completed within three years and those people, who have not seen a tarmac road since ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: In a nutshell, we want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure who is working very hard, but he has been inhibited by lack of funds. He has able engineers. He has people working under him who are raring to go but there has been that handicap of lack of resources because what comes from the Exchequer is hardly enough. We, therefore, need to say that this initiative by the Cabinet Secretary and the Ministry is well thought-out because we cannot just keep on crying about problems. We need to look for solutions. We want to see a good solution ... view

• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the President’s Address on the Floor of this House early this month. The Address was full of wisdom and statesmanship. I am particularly impressed and happy that the President made it clear that the issue of national unity and peaceful coexistence is a prerequisite for development and for our people to prosper. The reason the President has tried to create peace is for our people to have a conducive working environment, make money, take care of their hospital bills, provide food and educate their children. In that aspect, I appeal to those ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: We have very good immigration laws in this country that protects our people from unfair competition from foreigners. If you visit the streets of Nairobi such as Nyamakima, Kirinyaga, Luthuli and Taveta Roads, you will realise that the influx of the Chinese people has driven our people out of business. All those people who are doing manual jobs like roasting maize, repairing punctures and selling electrical goods have the skills that are required in this country. So, I am appealing to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to take time and enforce immigration laws and protect our ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, I applaud the President for insisting that he is not turning back on the war against corruption. At the same time, he made it clear that this is a country that is governed by the rule of law and there is no vigilante justice.

• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: saw kangaroo courts in funerals, churches and weddings where people were playing the role of the accuser, investigator, prosecutor, judge and the executioner. That cannot be allowed to happen. So, the President has done his bit and we ask those people who are saying that he should do more to give him space. He has done what he needs to do. He has given the institutions fighting corruption the necessary financial resources and the much needed political goodwill. What is remaining is for those institutions to do their job professionally. They should stop looking for newspaper headlines, prosecuting people through ... view
