• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. At the outset, I want to say that I support the Report of the Lands Committee. I urge them to ensure that this Report is implemented. I have gone through the Report. What has happened in Taita Taveta is very sad. More so, you ask yourself: How has this been happening and yet the same area has had representation by the same person who is making it very hard for these people and even children to reach school? view

• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: In this country, when it comes to the issue of land, we should be able to address corruption. When it comes to allocations, we want at the time of implementation only genuine squatters to benefit. You are talking of 5,000 and 8,000 acres which have been given in two phases. Are those people allocated land squatters? In the past, we used to have “State House squatters” who got land almost everywhere in this country. Could it be the same people who are benefitting from this? It is very sad that police officers who are supposed to maintain law and order ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, when Hon. Wamalwa was asking about this very weighty matter that is affecting his constituents, the Leader of the Majority Party was saying that Monica is away. So, I do not know whether the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security can confirm whether she is in office or she is away. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to support this Motion. As much as we are giving money to MSC to rehabilitate it and put it on the right path to economic prosperity for the people of Western Province, the Government should also consider other entities like the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC), the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and the Agricultural Finance Corporation which are also the backbone of the people of North Rift. In this area, we have employees of ADC who have not been paid their salaries for the last 20 years. This should also ... view

• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. (Dr.) Wilbur Ottichilo has referred to me as Hon. Robert Pukose, but I am Hon. (Dr.) Robert Pukose. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Motion by Hon. Injendi Malulu. It is a very important Motion considering that we only have 12 centres that issue marriage certificates in the whole country. This is hardly devolved. This Motion is urging the Government to open such centres within the sub-counties or, in essence, at the constituency level. This will make it much easier for the public to access that very important document. It will make it both accessible and affordable. In this country, there are areas where people have difficulties to reach in terms of terrain ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: marriage is being done, people cannot access the headquarters. More often, if the marriage is being done in a church, the notice is announced in the church. If it is civil marriage and it is put on a notice board far away from the people, the people will not get the information. It is much easier at the constituency level because somebody can read and inform the other people of the marriage and they can raise any issue. We should make it accessible so that people can even raise objections, if there are any. I want to support this important ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this amendment. In the past, university students have had no representation in the Board. It has been a challenge because their views are not taken into consideration because nobody is there to defend them. More often, even the people who are involved in giving out those funds do not understand how much the students require. This is a good amendment and once it is passed, we will have university student representation within the HELB. The other issue is about age. Many students join university at an age when they have ... view
