• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also support the Motion. The establishment of the Judiciary is under Chapter 10 of the Constitution of Kenya. Article 160 of the Constitution has given the Judiciary the independence it deserves. In reality, the independence of the Judiciary, under the Constitution of Kenya 2010, has not been the reality. For any entity to obtain its independence, that particular entity, including the Judiciary, must have enough resources to run its affairs. It is obvious that the Judiciary or the court system in Kenya has been starved of resources. That ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you and I are advocates of the High Court of Kenya. We have been in practice. We have seen how litigants suffer. Some people in high offices have never had that experience. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Report because the independence of the Judiciary must be exercised. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the appointment of Hon. Kitungu as the PS for Transport. I am very sure that Hon. Kitungu will be able to steer the State Department for Transport forward. That Department has had challenges right from the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), the Kenya Ferry Services (KFS) and Kenya Airways (KQ). I am quite sure that with his experience as the Investment Secretary or Director and having worked in other Government agencies, he has the experience required and enough training to steer forward this Department. We will be keenly ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to the Tea Bill. In Kenya today, tea is managed by the KTDA, which is a private entity that is managing 69 factories in 21 tea growing counties in the Republic of Kenya. Tea growing is the greatest agricultural practice that earns this country huge sums of money. However, it is a fact that this sector has been mismanaged and farmers are crying. They do not get the correct output that they should get. As years go by, the tea sector is getting worse despite farmers trying to maintain it and ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I am sure this matter can be resolved if we all put our heads together. I want to thank Senator Cheruiyot, who sponsored this Bill. Looking at it, I am confident that it will address some of the issues or problems that affect the tea sector in Kenya. Going by records, the major problem in the sector is the voting system that is being used in tea factories across the country. I propose that they have a system of one vote, one man, one shilling, against what we have now. For one to qualify to run as a member of ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is also exploitation by tea brokers in Kenya. If you look at the brokers vis-a-vis the farmers, they are different. The brokers are smart and have money despite the fact that they do not go own tea plants. They only rely on what is called “the brokerage services” where they sell tea as middle men. I have looked at the Bill and the proposed Authority is important. The Authority will have various functions, among them to regulate development and promote the tea industry. That is key. It will also have the function of licensing tea ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I take this opportunity, on behalf of the people of West Mugirango, to extend my condolences to the family of the late Hon. (Rtd.) President Moi. He did a lot when he was the President of the Republic of Kenya. He ensured that there was stability in the region and more particularly, in Kenya. There was provision of milk. The retired President Moi was humorous. He ensured that there was a peaceful handover in 2002. May the Lord rest his soul in eternal peace. view

• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to ask Question No.518/2019. The Question is directed to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation: (i) When is the Nyamira Town Water Project which is funded by the National Government expected to be completed? (ii) Could the Ministry consider putting a water sub-station at a higher elevation preferably at Mabundu area to ensure that water servers a larger population of Nyaisa, Gianchore, Etono, Nyamera, Bonyunyu and other surrounding areas through gravity? view
