• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to support the Report of the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural Resources. I stood up to support this because when the Chairman was moving the Report, he talked about crocodiles killing people. This is sad and I know that I have been affected in a big way. There are places like Gababa in Ijara where women and children have been affected very badly. Over 15 people have been killed by crocodiles and yet the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife has not taken any responsibility to look into that. It ... view
• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been here for three hours and I have not caught your eye! view

• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister say that they have not mapped out the country to know where people with severe disabilities are in this country. I wonder how they distributed these resources if they did not do any mapping exercise in the country. Who are these beneficiaries and how did he get them? Is it that he just chose? He discriminated against and he is giving people in his constituency or how was he doing it? If he has not mapped the country, then he is not doing the right thing. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice in supporting this particular Bill. In supporting this Bill, I want to say congratulations to the Tenth Parliament. I am proud to be part of this Parliament because it is a serious Parliament that wants to put systems and structures in place. It wants to look into real issues. I am also proud of being among those people who looked into this issue critically and told the Minister to stop and that we needed to go back and do things the right way. That is why I am ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I know that Mr. Kaino cannot interrupt me because he is a good friend of mine. The CRA is a serious Commission in our Constitution. These are the reforms we have been looking for, for a long time. This Commission has tabled a report in this House. That report is ours today because it is a report for this country. The report shows us the formula to be used in allocating resources in this country. I want to tell them that they have done good work so far. However, there are still grey areas within the ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir I would like to take this time to support this Motion on the adoption of Sessional Paper No.15 of 2012 on KAA for the Rehabilitation and Expansion of the JKIA. The JKIA is an airport that should be a global destination which the whole world will look at and see, as others have said before me, the pride of Africa and the pride of Kenya. The expansion of the JKIA will create job opportunities and expand our economic growth. That will help attract many investors to this country because there will be easy connection and ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support the Report as amended. You will remember that the other night we were here. We aired all view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to add my voice in support of this report. I want to take this chance to thank you so sincerely for your guidance and the support you have given to all us. Particularly me being a first timer and chairing a departmental committee, you have given me a lot of guidance and that made me what I am today. So, thank you so much for the support you have given to me personally and the support you have also given to the other hon. Members. I want to particularly thank ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order. Just like my colleagues who have spoken, I sit in the Budget Committee and I feel very betrayed sitting here to talk about this matter. We were supposed to have a meeting this morning. That is why I came to this House early this morning so that we could solve the pending issues. We have structures and systems in place and yet, we do not follow them. If we set out to undermine the Budget Committee of this House, it is going to be bad and it will reflect ... view
