• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand here to support the Motion. I come from a constituency that is different from another, that is Embu. We have an area of dry land and other parts are in highlands. I know that this budget is going to be very useful to our county and the whole country. I want to say that it is not enough looking at the counties that we come from. I wish we would have increased this budget so that our people can benefit. Right now, we have the problem of food security, floods and insecurity in our country. ... view

• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Everybody is worried. I have received very many calls from rural areas asking what is happening to the august House. We have very good people here, why can we not agree so that our counties benefit? This will also benefit our people. Some of us represent thousands of people who are waiting for us. We should agree for the benefit of our people. I stand here to support this Motion and plead that we add money to our counties. We know that the money allocated is very little, yet the demands are very high and the resources are not enough. view

• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. In our culture, particularly in mine, we are supposed to take care of our elderly persons, feed them, take them to hospital and make sure that they are comfortable. Times have changed and many people have moved from their rural areas to towns and abandoned the elderly in the rural areas. Sometimes, the old people get very sick, but they have no money to go to hospital. They may have land and nice houses that were built for them by their children, but they are abandoned. view
• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: I want to tell this nation that it is not the culture any more, but it is the reality of life that these are our people. We do not want to deny them the opportunity to feel that they are wanted and loved by the nation. Therefore, let us support the Motion. I know that every time we are in the rural areas, we look for the senior citizens and leave them with small handouts. How far can that take them? Some of them do not even want to go to hospital because they fear being given the bill. So, ... view
• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: (Hon. (Ms.) Mitaru): Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you. First I want to thank you for seeing this side; we have been wondering whether we should sit there next time.

I want to say thank you again for the Address that the President gave us. I think it was about our people at the county level. I have been looking at the Presidential Address. Many people were very happy. When I look at ... view
