  • 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to start by thanking the Committee for this Report. I must reiterate that this Report is very voluminous. As hon. Keynan mentioned last week, they churned out a total of 127 reports or thereabout; this was more than what they did in the last term. I think in the last term they did around 38 reports. Upon going through these reports, I was dumbfounded because I found that in some reports--- In particular I can mention the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the Water Trust Board and the Safaricom reports. These reports are really ... view
  • 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to contribute to the earlier Motion but since it has already passed, I decided to keep my request on. view
  • 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, yes, but in very few words. I would like to, first of all, congratulate the Committee, which put this Report together.

  • 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: From the outset, I must say that this Bill was supposed to have been brought to the Floor of the House like not yesterday; it should have come here long time ago, or at least ten years ago. This is because this Bill is basically on the responsibilities that public servants should be performing to citizens, who spent their time voting in the year 2013 for leaders. Basically, we owe it to the citizens of our country to pass this Bill. I would also like to say, having heard from everybody else, that this Bill will regulate professions of the ... view
