• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was waiting to contribute to this clause. I support the position of the Committee. I propose that we reject this proposal by the Senate. This is a proposal that comes from somebody within Nairobi who does not understand how water is provided in most of the counties where we have hundreds of water service providers. It will not be possible to consolidate all water service providers. I doubt that there is any single county that can create one company to provide water in it. It is completely wrong. I oppose the amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also support the amendment. This proposal is tidying up the Bill. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am happy to see that I am not alone in opposing this Motion. The building of a second terminal at the Port of Mombasa is not a priority. The truth of the matter is that the phase that has just been completed has not been commissioned.

• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: situation like that of a poor person who has borrowed to buy a car. When the car has just been delivered and it is not being used, the poor man goes on to borrow again to buy another car. Any person who has followed up the story of debts in this country understands where we are and how much each person in this country owes in terms of domestic and external debts. If this money was being borrowed for priority projects like roads, it would be okay. While we completely understand that the expansion of the Port of Mombasa is ... view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Nakushukuru sana kwa kunipa nafasi hii, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Nina furaha tumeweza kuupitisha Mswada huu ulioletwa Bungeni leo kupitia kikao hiki spesheli. Tuna wanariadha au wakimbiaji na wanamichezo wengi kule Kipipiri. Walikuwa wameanza kupata wasiwasi kuwa huenda nchi yetu isipewe nafasi ya kwenda kwa nashindano ya Olimpiki. Tukiangalia yale yamefanyika kuhusiana na hii sheria, ni kweli kuwa Kenya inaonewa na mataifa yale makubwa yasiyoamini kuwa nchi ndogo kiuchumi kama Kenya inaweza kuwa ikiongoza katika mashindano. Katika mashindanao ya dunia ya riadha yaliyopita, Kenya ilikuwa namba moja. Naona kama shida za Kenya zilianzia hapo. Kwa hivyo, tunawaomba World Anti-Doping ... view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Nikimalizia, Kenya huchukua zaidi ya asilimia 90 ya medali katika ushindani wa mbio za nyika. Hiyo ndiyo inafanya tuonewe. Tunawambia wanariadha wetu wachukue nafasi hii watuletee medali kwa wingi katika kipindi cha mashindano yajayo. view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to comment on this Bill. At the outset, I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare that considered the original Bill before it was passed in this House. As those who have spoken before me have indicated, at no time did our Committee or this House remove any of the amendments that had been proposed in this Bill. They were not there from the beginning. The Bill that we received from the Ministry and the Attorney-General did not contain them. As I was reading today’s Daily ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: I rise to support these amendments. The Report by the Committee is giving us proper guidance. We all know that the function of water is shared. Where necessary, it is important that we involve the counties and as suggested by the Committee, give representatives in those committees. There are very many water providers in my county. The suggestion by the Senate that there only be one water provider in the county is not going to work and it can cause chaos and a lot of challenges. If they just go and look from the 30 or 100 water providers who ... view

• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to say this as we look at this law; the water catchment area has not received a lot of emphasis. As we speak, most of those water catchment areas have been destroyed and the few remaining ones are getting depleted by the day. Perhaps, the policy implementers, especially the ministry and the counties which are dealing with the provision of the water, that is the legislation that is required for water provision services. Let us not just think about consumption of water. Let us go back to the water catchment areas, rehabilitate them and ... view
