• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I do not think that Members really understand why these principal secretaries are sitting in these boards. When it comes to implementation of programs under the Equalisation Fund, it is these principal secretaries who are going to implement. For example, if it roads, the Principal Secretary for Roads will be there. If it is health, the principal secretary for Health will be there and, the same with water. If you do not include them in the board, how are you going to do these projects? Two, I fear the manner in which this debate ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I am supporting. I was saying that we are taking a dangerous route in the way we are looking at this law. It appears to me that this law is being made for people who claim to be marginalised whereas everyone is marginalised in this country. If you come to Nyanza, we are marginalised. We are not going to make this law for people who come from North-Eastern and who think that what they want to see is what should be done in this law. The amendments that are being introduced are important for effecting the operations of this Fund. ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I support the amendment and I am pleading with my colleagues from North-Eastern - those who think that they are marginalise- to understand this law is for Kenyans not for their region.

• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rarely agree with the Government but I want to agree with the statements as read by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. We are asking the Government to import the coronavirus into this country by insisting that those students stuck in China should be allowed to come back. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The truth of the matter is that China is a developed country with a lot of resources. Because our envoy has confirmed that she is in touch with the students and the Kenya Government is also sending support, I think that is satisfactory. Otherwise, if we insist that the students need to come back to Kenya because their parents are not happy, we will be importing the virus to Kenya. The truth of the matter is that we do not have capacity to manage it. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know that we do not even have systems to test. I learnt that we may need to ask other countries to test for us whether it is coronavirus or not. This House needs to trust the Government because most of us do not trust it. We are just like the other Kenyans who think anything from the Government is not right. The answers given by the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs were satisfactory because I listened to her as she spoke before the Committee. So, let us end this debate and allow the Government to guide us ... view

• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.018/2020. I want to add that this is the second time I am raising this Question on the Floor of this House. The first time, it was bungled at the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I want to urge the Chairman, Hon. Wario, whom I see across, to ensure that justice is served on this Question. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you. The Question is addressed to the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection. (i) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that one, Mr. James Omingo Juma of ID No. 0985881, was irregularly dismissed from employment by the Kenya Revenue Authority in February 1999, contrary to Section 45 of the Employment Act? (ii) When will he be paid his dues or reinstated as his dismissal was overturned by the Mombasa Chief Magistrate Court, Court Case No. 2251 of 1998? view
