• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The security of this country has been wanting. We have just passed a Motion this afternoon to allow the Government to proceed and look at the project on surveillance and communication. However, I want to bring to your attention something which is bothering me. This is about the social media and the media. They have posted something saying that Parliament has approved Safaricom contract. I can see that this is a gimmick to malign this House. I want to go on record – I know Kenyans are watching – as saying that this House has no business in approving tenders; ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: If the Government finds that there is something wrong with the procurement--- That somebody is trying to insinuate that this House has approved the tender to Safaricom is very unfortunate. We urge you to put the record straight to the public, that this House has no business to approve tenders. The only thing we are going to do is put all agencies and Cabinet Secretaries--- Whatever they do they should know that this House plays an oversight role. We will exercise our powers to streamline them and have them do the right thing. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is important for the people of Kenya to know that we are going on recess at a very difficult time because the CDF money has not been released. However, I thank God that quite a number of Members still have a chunk of work to do. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: If there are people who imagine that Members of Parliament do not have work, I do not understand where they come from. This is for the simple reason that Members of Parliament have two offices. There is one in the constituency, where we serve the people when we go on recess. When we come back, we have duties in the committees. If somebody does not see you in the Chamber, he has the right to present a petition, but which cannot hold water, claiming we do not represent people. It is important to find ways to make sure that this ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, because time is running out, I urge your office to look into this thorny issue in this country, namely devolution of health services. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Health, we did a report to this House, which we want to be looked at and passed over to the Executive to avoid what we are seeing. Thre is loss of life because of doctors not receiving their salaries. As a House, we have passed all the necessary laws to make sure that the staff at mashinani have are paid, yet they have not received their salaries. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Last but not least, as country, we need to be very careful about how we manage our oil and coal wealth. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to second the amendment as proposed by hon. Saney. The purpose of this amendment, for the sake of the hon. Members who might not get the gist of the matter, is--- If you go to the refugee camps and if you look at the trend which has been taking place in north eastern and some parts of this country--- The marginalized groups have been taking their children of the age of ten years to refugee camps where they can secure shelter and food. When these children attain the age of 18 ... view

• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I want to go on record that I am supporting the report as amended due to serious technical issues on the recommendations which have been given. However, having said that, Kenya is one of the fast growing countries in East and Central Africa and I think we have been let down due to the security issues within our environments in Nairobi, Mombasa and the entire country. view
