• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this amendment. I believe that once this Bill is passed, it will cure the mischief that is in the law. Thank you very much. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Industry, Trade and Cooperatives the following Question: a) Is he aware of complaints that have been raised by a section of women in Kenya over the alleged health risks associated with the use of Always brand of sanitary towels? b) If so, what action has been taken to address these concerns? view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support that Petition and commend the Member. When people are being relocated or moved from their original place, the places they are taken to must be as good as or even better than where they are coming from. When they are relocating children with special needs to the middle of a sugar plantation, I do not know how that will happen. It is something that is sensitive. It must be relooked into. Whoever is doing that must provide a better environment for the school and the children because these are kids who need support. ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to also contribute to the President’s Address to the nation. The President talked extensively about the BBI. I think this is the legacy that the President will leave to this nation, for trying to unite the country and also for reaching out to his political competitor so that they can talk to bring the country together after elections. You will realise immediately after elections, we had a lot of issues emanating from the bungled elections, the IEBC, the reforms and all manner of things. But the President and the ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: country, that was a tall order. We must congratulate our leaders that we held together. That is what brings about the BBI. The President also spoke extensively about the Big Four Agenda. I think some of these Big Four Agenda are also captured in Vision 2030. I do not see why we want to force some things, especially the housing project which is already creating a lot of issues. The manner they are doing it is not going to resonate very well with Kenyans, especially given that Kenyans are over-taxed. If people are going to be taxed again for the ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to support this Motion. For us to control public transport, the Government must be involved. All over the world, cities own public transport. Maybe, this is the only country in the world where the city does not own public transport. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Protect me from these consultations around here. There was order in public transport in the 1980s and 1990s when we had the Kenya Bus Service. I use public transport when I travel to other parts of the world, but it is almost a nightmare when you are using public transport here. I believe the Government must seriously be involved for us to put order in public transport; we must bring an alternative to the matatus . Order will not be possible as long as there is no alternative; it will not be possible to control the chaos that is there. ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: will be managed. Then, the city county governments of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and others should have a stake in public transport. That is the only way we are going to bring order in public transport. We are crying about decongesting the city. How do we do it when the public transport is in chaos? That can be done when people have confidence in using public transport. When we talk about people with disability, they do not have access to public transport. They incur a lot of cost using alternative means which disadvantage them. No matatu wants to take you when ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am encouraging Hon. Members to support this issue so that we can regulate the public transport industry because it will help to reduce traffic jams in the city. Once it is well regulated, many people will leave their private cars at home and will use public transport. We know very well that about 90 per cent of the middle lower level in this city use public transport. I want to thank Hon. Didmus for the efforts he has shown and put when it comes to matters of legislation. I thank you and ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
