• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. It is very unfortunate to learn that most of the coastal land has been grabbed and the grabbers are walking scot-free. It is very unfortunate, but I believe the recommendations that we are going to give to the Departmental Committee on Lands should be taken seriously. I have listened carefully to the Petition by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health when she was talking about Kagaa Farm, which we are sharing with Hon. Owen Baya. I am even wondering how they got that land. I believe that these issues need to be ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Bwana Naibu wa Spika, ndani ya Bunge kuna viti vya kutosha lakini nimemwona mmoja wetu ameketi kwenye sakafu. Je, ni sawa hivyo kwamba Mheshimiwa aje Bungeni kisha akae sakafuni badala ya kitini? view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Bwana Naibu wa Spika, yule ambaye alikuwa ameketi kwenye sakafu sasa hivi ameketi kwenye kiti. Alikuwa ameketi sakafuni karibu na anapoketi Mhe. Mishra. Nahofia huenda uongozi wa kidhalimu umeanzishwa humu Bungeni kwamba wengine wapige magoti. view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support the two petitions. On the first Petition, before I joined active politics in 2007, I used to work as a human rights officer in prisons. I can confirm that the trainings which are offered in prisons are very important. If you want to correct someone, you also need to give direction. The directions given are to equip them with technical skills that they can use after prison so that they can be in a position to engage in an effective manner. There are even some payments that they are given after their ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, even the furniture in this Chamber was made by prisoners who were trained in prisons. Let us not wish away this critical issue because prisons are like hospitals whereby everyone could be a candidate. Today, you can wish away those trainings and then tomorrow you find yourself idle while in there. Let us appreciate what has been happening and improve on it instead of abolishing. I support the Petition on the Galana-Kulalu matters 100 per cent because the issues being touched on are very genuine. We cannot achieve anything if we do not engage effectively on the matters of ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support the Report. If you can remember, we tried to form an ad-hoc committee which was misconstrued by other Members and at the end we lost that opportunity. At that time, we had a vision that in future, if we will not be careful, such things will occur. If you go through the Report and the information that we got from other committees, it is evident that there was total confusion. I do not know whether that confusion was administrative or it was orchestrated by some people to make sure ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: can imagine a Chief Executive Officer of KEMSA writing directly to the Principal Secretary, National Treasury. Administratively, he is supposed to write to the Principal Secretary of the Ministry of Health. These are some of the issues we do not even know where they came from. As Members, we need to be careful and honest. Some Members think of others who want to be sacrificed. We need to put it very clear that the money which was taken is blood money. We have lost a number of our colleagues, Members of County Assemblies and a number of Kenyans. The arithmetic ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for according me an opportunity to express my support to the Report. If Kenyans today are now getting other facts other than what we heard during the campaigns, it is quite alarming. We were told that a stadium would be complete in a month’s time. Another one would be complete in three weeks’ time. Those are the songs which we heard then. We believed that it was true. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that we have learnt the reality now. It is also unfortunate that the Committee has not recommended some of the companies and officers who are involved in upfront payment to the contractors. It is high time that we get more serious. Such people should be taken to court. We have not even heard from the Committee. They should come out clearly on the stadia whereby both the county government and national Government are partnering. We would like know whether there is a proper agreement on how they would partner. We cannot just double allocate money to a ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: It is high time the Ministry comes out clearly on where these stadia will be built in future. They are being concentrated in certain regions where they think that it is easy for them to siphon funds. We want to make sure that they are distributed and implemented equally in the country. We have realised that public funds were misused and misappropriated. We have a big number of white elephant projects across the country. It is now good to recommend all those who are involved to be taken care of by the law. We should not always be lenient. The ... view
