• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On bursaries, I think the funds will never be enough. We should increase those funds so that they can reach as many people as possible. There are areas with so many parents who expectantly look at NG-CDF for bursaries to take their children to school. Sometimes, the money allocated is not enough. If you give a cheque of Kshs5,000 and school fees is Kshs20,000, then you have done very little and the child will still remain at home. I think we need to look at how we can increase funding to pay school fees for more children. This will help ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Report. I want to encourage the Committee to keep up with the good work that they have started. This shows there is nothing sinister about NG-CDF. It is very transparent; it is seen and has been felt by the people. Those who are fighting NG-CDF should just look around and see how much it has done. If you look at its original composition, it had an elected MP, two councillors and a District Officer. You know the MP is no longer a member of the NG-CDF Committee. We only oversee and do not ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Report. The problem we have in this country is to do with land management systems. This mess was brought about by the colonial government. Succeeding governments have not succeeded in solving this problem. An example are the communities that reside in urban areas like Kibera and other informal settlements. I have a case in mind of a community residing in a village called Kibagare in my constituency, who are being hounded out of their land because the management systems do not recognise ownership by the poor. Poor ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to contribute to this Bill. While I wish to support this amendment, I look at it differently. As a Member of Parliament from Nairobi, December is very dangerous because there is a migration of people to rural areas. So, Nairobi will be empty and you can easily lose an election. The other time we held an election in March and it was just as good. So, I believe if we move away from August, March will be an appropriate date. This Constitution has been in existence for eight years. It is ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: in agriculture harvest. I believe it is the highest time we looked at how to amend the Constitution and have some of these provisions revised. We need to come up with comprehensive amendments so that we do not have piecemeal amendments that will keep on popping up, some of which may require a referendum, especially when it extends the term of office of the President. I support because this is the right thing to do. I believe elections in December will give all of us a good time to participate. Schools will have closed and people will be in a ... view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: This has been one of the most troubled departments or agencies in the Government. This is an area that has received a lot of attention, not for good reason but for a bad reason; that it has been a conduit of corruption, and is the epic of corruption. I believe a man of his integrity, and coming with such a huge experience from the public sector, he is the right person to put order in that sector and bring some semblance of order that the youth are yearning for. We also need to serve the youth of this country. They ... view
