• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: As Hon. Ochanda has mentioned, part of Yala Swamp and we are also struggling with similar challenges, is within Bondo Constituency. I urge the Departmental Committee on Lands to ensure that we go beyond issues raised in the Petition to do with historical injustices and land maters that face many Kenyans. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I support the Petition. Thank you. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.20/2020 by Private Notice to the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs. (i) What measures is the Government putting in place to assist the many Kenyan citizens who were living and working in the People’s Republic of China and returned to Kenya during the Chinese New Year (Winter and Spring break) and are now unable to travel back to China due to invalidation of all Visas issued before 28th March 2020?

• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: (ii) When will the Government intervene in the matter by diplomatically engaging the Government of the People’s Republic of China so as to facilitate the affected Kenyans to travel back to China as soon as possible, considering that some of them are at a risk of losing their jobs, businesses and livelihoods? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will begin by congratulating the new Chair for the Report we have received. It appears that this House got it right when we made the changes in House leadership. It is not like the Senate where everything has stalled. The Senate should have given most seats to the National Super Alliance (NASA). They would not have the problems they are experiencing. We now have strong leadership in our committees. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Let me make my point, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On the NG-CDF, we need to agree with the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury that NG-CDF disbursement is done on a quarterly basis. The report is then given to this House. It is not right that some constituencies have received their full allocation while others are yet to receive even half. This is something that the new Chair needs to take up very seriously. The departmental budgets in other areas have been fully disbursed. We have a situation where this House is not respected. The Cabinet Secretary can disburse resources to ... view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Let me begin by congratulating the new Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for such intelligent presentation of this Bill. I want to go straight and support the amendment. I like safeguards that have been put on the question of ensuring there is regional reporting. My concern is that we are not sure whether this law has put other safeguards to ensure that a businessman in Siaya will be given this guarantee scheme. What if for instance, we wait for the reports and the Cabinet Secretary says: “We did not ... view

• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this Petition. This Petition is timely. Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic and when schools were closed, the Government has not remitted the regular capitation resources used to run the schools. I think it is the reason suppliers and employees of the schools have not been paid. When we open schools after the pandemic, they might not even be existing because the infrastructure is dead. The Ministry and the Government should explain why they are not sending the capitation resources thereby risking to stall operations in the schools. ... view
