• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The issue of pending bills has been discussed. I do not want to over-emphasise, but I remember that even as at today, there are pending bills which were incurred during the previous parliamentary term, from 2013 to 2017, and they still have not been paid. You wonder what is happening. Some people’s properties have been auctioned because of bank loans. It is pathetic. Those are things that need to be looked into, so that, at least, they can put those people back on track. Since I can see that there are few more interests in this matter, let me rest ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also support the Petition, and as you have rightly put it, the issue of substance is not an issue. The issue is just public participation. This is a matter that once it appears before the Committee, which I am a Member of, we can expeditiously bring it before the House and the House Business Committee to prioritise the matter so that we can deal with it. Public participation can be done within a very short time and the matter is then put to rest because the issues of the East African cooperation, interaction and any ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the Estimates for 2021/2022 Financial Year. This is a very important exercise for this country. Looking at the Report before this House, we see that there is a shortfall of about Ksh8.4601 billion in the Budget. It is worrying that most of the projects that were intended to be funded under the Big Four Agenda have not achieved the intended purpose. One of the areas that is very critical for this country is industrialization. In my understanding, industrialization is the sector that broadens ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, looking at the education sector, I can see there is a proposal that there is money for infrastructure. I beg this House and propose that we look very keenly if every other constituency has been considered in matters infrastructure. We are living in difficult times of COVID-19 whereby infrastructure is very key in our schools. Our schools need more classrooms, dormitories, and wider space to facilitate learning and enable keeping of the social distance by the students. It would be an important aspect to ensure that every constituency is considered in infrastructure development money in this ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I, recognising that the role of this Parliament is merely transitionary, I pass this Bill to the next level for the people to decide. Let the people decide. I vote yes. view

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am now rightly placed to stand under Standing Order No.95 that the Mover be called upon to reply. This is because after having listened to what is being canvassed here; I have heard a chorus in support. There other two Bills related to this one on tax. So, other interested voices will also be heard in the other two Bills that are coming. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second. This Committee is limited mainly to matters procedure. The matters substance has already been left to the CS under Section 67 of the parent Act. One of the issues or the areas that this Committee must interrogate is timelines. I must also thank the Clerk for timely transmission of regulations into this House to enable this Committee to transact business within the requisite timelines. Having established that, the other constitutional and statutory requirement of public participation comes into play. Once that has been understood as the Committee did, then the ... view
