• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: private developer lie. Private developers’ trucks ruin roads that have been constructed by the county government. They finish their development and move out. The question then is who is responsible for the destruction of that road? This Bill clearly states that if a road is defaced, there is a general penalty of not less than Kshs100,000 or imprisonment of not less than two years or both. That is commendable because somebody should be held responsible for a road that is ruined in the process of development. It is a step in the right direction. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 57 states that the Authority shall require the owner of any land to remove, trim trees or shrubs to its satisfaction. I find it a bit contentious because authorities like the Kenya Power Company (KPC) will not allow an owner to touch any trees without a licence. One is not allowed to trim or cut their trees. This Bill states that the Authority shall require the owner to trim trees. So, they are throwing this responsibility to a person who might not even have the resources to do so. This is a clause that I might have to approach ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: From the outset, many Members have voiced their opinions on roads in their constituencies and counties.

• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to lend my few thoughts to this very important amendment Bill. From the outset, I would like to appreciate the young students who are with us in the Gallery listening to this debate because it concerns them. I hope when they go back home today, they take what Parliament is talking about ranking. Ranking is based on performance and everybody knows that. Even when a young person, man or woman, goes to apply for a job, the first thing that the company asks is the grades. The better grades you ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the explanation by Hon. Amina Abdalla is straightforward. I support. Thank you. view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My point of order is that there is no Order Paper. A few of us do not have it. I know the Leader of the Majority Party has the Order Paper on the basis of seniority and he expects us to walk upstairs and get it. I do not mind it but it is unfair because we always have the Order Paper when we walk in. It is not only me. There are many other people who do not have it. view
