• 7 Sep 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this important Motion. From the onset, I join my colleagues to oppose this Motion. I was one of the Members who were in the impeachment trial for the Governor of Murang’a. After the whole thing was over, all manner of rumours came up and it was said that the Members were given envelopes. I heard about it later on though I thought we had done our work diligently. It is out of that that I sat down to draft the Bill which Sen. Kajwang has cited. In ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. Whether we agree with this Bill or not, we must all congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for bringing out these issues for discussion. Our Constitution is skeletal in nature like all constitutions and it includes this aspect of county Governments. Within the County Government Act, we have the Sub-County, Ward and Village administrators. However, we do not have functions of these administrators clearly spelt out. The end result of it is that, at the moment, not only are we competing with the administrators; District Officers, District Commissioners and the chiefs from ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, concerned about the numerous reports of the arbitrary arrests of innocent people by the police; FURTHER concerned that a large number of those arrested are allegedly locked up in police cells without being recorded either in the Occurrence Book or elsewhere; DEEPLY concerned that some of the arrested people disappear without a trace and that many who are subsequently traced are found dead, away from where they were locked up; ALARMED by the recent incident where three young men were locked up for hours at Syokimau ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was seeking a point of order on something else, but allow me to comment on this one as well. Those of us who happen to be Members of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) have witnessed such occasions. We do not frisk governors when they come, but you can tell that a person is armed. Recently, we had a very nasty situation in one of the committee sittings. It is fair that the matter raised by the Deputy Speaker be taken very seriously institutionally, so that nobody; whether us, visitors or whoever they are, ... view
• 14 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. view
• 3 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Chairman is trying and I complement him. But the issue of value of land from one area to another is not exactly the issue at hand. As I said, this line also passes through Nyandarua County and they came and employed their valuer and our local valuer. But the figures, even after establishing that in this area land costs, say like Kshs1 million, they still come and offer you Kshs330,000 per acre. It is not the value they are using but they seem to have other criteria. That is the one I am trying ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, so much Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to the Presidential Speech. Let me take this opportunity to thank the President for giving his Speech as enshrined in Articles 10, 132 and 240 of the Constitution. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: This economy is improving despite many challenges like terrorism. In the tourism sector, many hotel bookings are being done at the Coast. There is improvement of the Airport Road, the Dongo-Kundu Road going to the southern side of the Coast and Diani Beach, which is one of the best beaches in the world. All this will improve tourism and spur economic growth. No country can improve its economy without a good road infrastructure. The President indicated that we have done 3,000 kilometres. There is assertion that this came from the previous Government. However, the Government had the mandate to complete ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Talking about power generation, within three years, 642 megawatts have been added to the grid. We will have 1,000 megawatts come 2017. We have seen many schools and households being connected with power. A total of 4.4 million households in those three years have been connected to the national grid. This is a tremendous improvement to the economy. Who are these Kenyans stealing money? The Jubilee Government should not be blamed because these are individuals and if they have done anything wrong, they should be taken to court as individuals. This should cut across the board in the whole country. ... view
• 14 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is going to improve the economy by a very big percentage. I am a Member of the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and we inspected that project. There is a lot going on there. Many Kenyans have been employed and there is a lot of technology transfer. Some Kenyans are going to be trained in China. This will improve our economy in a big way and we hope by the end of it, this country will not be the same. For over 100 years, no railway has been built. This is going to ... view
