• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. We all know how important an organised transport system is to the growth of any economy in all perspectives.

• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: especially those who oppose it, I am very surprised, as my first point, that most of us are very ignorant about the geography of our country. I have heard many Members castigate the inclusion of Murang’a County in the counties that are in this Bill because, possibly, most of us think that it starts from Murang’a Town. I want to bring Members like Hon. Wamalwa and others to speed that Blue Post Hotel in Thika is in Murang’a County. Thika Greens Estate is also in Murang’a County. We have so many people who work in Nairobi. They travel all the ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Even as I support this Bill, in Kenya, we have more bodies than we need. In the transport sector, the other day, we were debating a Bill on some authorities, that is, the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA), the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and we are now adding another body. As a country, we will have to relook at all these bodies because when we create many entities, most of the money actually evaporates within the recurrent expenditure of those authorities and institutions. We should borrow from countries ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Going through this Bill, I have seen that most of the representation is from the county governments. We have the County Executive Committees (CECs) members in charge of transportation and the governors represented. But going through the Bill again, you notice that the authority is the coming together of the national Government, especially in terms of resources, and county governments. The MPs seated here, especially those who come from the counties mentioned in the Bill, are actually the patrons of KURA and most national Government entities in regard to building of roads and transportation. We need to include Members of ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The issue of Sonko and Igathe as raised by my friend Hon. Wamalwa is innuendo and misplaced. We have seen a lot of investments from the national Government in the City. We have many roads being opened up. Ngong Road is being expanded and there are plans to expand the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport-Likoni Road on a World Bank loan. All these roads and other big investments are being done by the national Government. Therefore, we cannot just The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: push all the responsibility and liabilities of building infrastructure to the national Government, and then deny it a say when it comes to the management of those modes of transport. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Bill. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I travelled all the way from my constituency to give my voice to this very important Bill. Just like yesterday, I am very surprised that we are so few and yet the topic of discussion is so important to each one of us. Roads are very important for such a country like ours which is a growing economy. Economically, there is a clear correlation between per capita, especially on tarmac per capita The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: concentration of tarmac roads and the economic growth, and the standard of life of the persons living in those nations. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I want to cite some of the countries that have grown very well like Singapore. We keep on quoting them in this Parliament almost every day. We remember about the industrial revolution in the United States of America (USA) and in so many countries. The driver of those revolutions was road networks. I have gone through the entire Bill and I have seen some of the things in it, especially the recommendations from the Committee that are very timely. For example, the streamlining of percentages in terms of authorities. I am very keen on KeRRA being given 30 per cent. ... view
