• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I agree that we need to support this Motion. It should be supported. The Mausoleum Bill is at the First Reading stage before the House. As Hon. Yusuf has suggested in the Motion, we should ensure that Kamukunji Grounds is protected against developers and land grabbers. These days, you need an inch of an opportunity in Nairobi to put a foot on and that land becomes yours overnight. We know that for a fact because we are citizens and leaders in Nairobi City. You only need an opportunity to go about what you want. view

To cut the long story short, there are many problems, corruption and unanswered questions that lie underneath the truth of the matter of petitions like this. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Even as the Petition is responded to, the real reason why the road has not been completed must be reviewed. Money that has not been transferred to the relevant Ministries must be accounted for. view
