• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we are discussing the President’s Speech, then the Member for Kibra should be discussing the President’s Speech. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Not the particular reports. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like the Leader of the Minority Party, whom I respect very much, to clarify something. I have heard him say that 60 per cent has been given to the other side and 60 per cent has been given to the other side. According to my mathematics, 60 and 40 make 100 per cent. The 60 and 60 is 120. So, could he, please, clarify what he meant by that? view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my comments to this Speech that was delivered by His Excellency the President. I would like at the outset to say that throughout last week, I watched and heard on television on many occasions Members of Parliament saying that the President was talking in future tense. Reading his Speech, I have noticed that he has picked up issues that have taken place in the last one year. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the President for gracing the occasion and giving us his views on what has happened in the last year and in particular the insecurity which has not only hit Nairobi but the whole of Kenya. I would like to say that I dialled the number 999 this morning and at 12.30 p.m. and it did not go through, but when I dialled the number 112, it went through. So, I would like Members to know that some systems are working to a certain extent. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is commendable that through the efforts of the President, the levels of accidents have decreased in the last one year due to the introduction of Alcoblow. However, it is a pity that some of our hon. Members of Parliament are caught in the evening drunk and driving. I think that is an issue that as honourable leaders of this country, we should look into. In as much as we talk and point fingers at each other, I think we need to look into that. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to say that I commend the President for noting that there should be more synergy amongst Senators, Members of Parliament and Members of the County Assemblies so that instead of apportioning blame to each other, we need to work together as a country. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I would also like to mention something about the Nyumba Kumi initiative. This is because I have realised that in as much as some communities work together, there are many citizens of this country who feel very scared and vulnerable to report insecurity incidences either to the police, immigration officials or any authority. So, I would like to see this initiative of Nyumba Kumi working better. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to mention something about the initiative of food and soil mapping that they have done in the last one year. Today, a farmer knows what type of fertiliser he is supposed to use in order to grow what he wants to grow. I think that is a good initiative. I would also like to say that I appreciate the initiative of giving farmers the opportunity to have more dams and water pans which increases the level of water stability in our country. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, apart from that, I would also like to conclude by saying that some people say that the 46 minutes were a lot of nothing but in my opinion, that was 46 minutes of integrity in our country. view
