• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: As far as we are going ahead with electronic incorporation of big companies, electronic registration of names, we are doing the right thing. My daughter was doing it the other day, and I was astonished how quickly she got a name and a business registered within minutes. That is a great thing but somewhere along the way, what comes up is the issue of certificate of good conduct. That is the biggest problem that we have. Every year you have to go to the same place to get a certificate of good conduct. Every year, you have to take about ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I have been waiting for a Huduma Card for a long time. I was one of those who felt that Huduma Card would be one of the most forward-looking approaches that we could have. It has not come out yet. The moment Huduma Cards come out and we make everything electronic, it will be a great thing. In Denmark, the moment you are born, you are given a number that you will have until you die. That allows you to register so many things quickly. What we need to do with the 40 million Kenyans that we have is to ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: There is one other matter that I need to bring up here, that is, ease of access. It goes with the ease of doing business. When you want to go to a certain office of the Government, you have to leave your identity card (ID). An identity card is your personal property and nobody else should be holding it. Nowadays, if someone wants a small loan, the shylock will need the ID card. You have to deposit your ID card to get the loan. Once you deposit that ID card it becomes a problem. When you are coming for official ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to stand on my rights. I walked up to there, bowed and then walked back. I want to call a witness. He was there and he saw it. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I think he was not looking. I know he is my in-law and I think he was not looking, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the great people of Kisumu East, my family and every other person here, I send my condolences to the family of the late President Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: The people of Kisumu will not forget that it was he who gave us the city; he extended the airport so that we have big jumbo jets flying there. I know there are others who felt that you had left them out. We were the heart of the Opposition and remain so, but you gave us whatever you could. We thank him for that and may his soul Rest in Eternal Peace. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It is a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The point of order is this: The Committee was asked to go to Saudi Arabia to investigate the abuses that workers of Kenyan origin were facing. He has come with a Report that has been written by the Saudis; such a flowing and beautiful Report as to what is so good there. What we wanted to find out is happening to our citizens who are being mistreated in Saudi Arabia. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, now that this matter has been brought up, and this is a House of rules and regulations, could you, please, inform whoever it supposed to correct the clocks? It is very bad for the clocks not to show the correct time. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Statistics is one of the very key tools of development and resource allocation. The first census that we know about was the Doomsday Book, sometime over 1,000 years ago. Based upon that the then king decided how resources were to be allocated. Resources are allocated for equity and not equality. That is why we have marginalised areas that need to have more resources allocated to them. The issue is data. As they say, numbers do not lie, but cooked up numbers are the worst. They not only lie but also destroy. So, what is ... view
