• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority. As you are aware, just like my colleagues have said, Nairobi City contributes more than 60 per cent of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is only important that we have an Authority that moderates, organises and facilitates the construction and organisation of the transport system. As you are aware, right now our transport system is pathetic. We do not have a proper transport system. The traffic that we experience in Nairobi is costing this country billions of shillings every year. If we have an Authority that ... view

• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have to change a little bit after campaigns. I rise to support this Motion on the Adoption of Sessional Paper No.3 of 2016 on the National Housing Policy. Houses in Nairobi have become very expensive. Majority of Kenyans cannot afford to buy houses right now. It is only good that as Members of Parliament we support the Government right now because it shows the intention of providing affordable, comfortable and decent houses to Kenyans. As you are aware, this sector has been left for a long time to the private sector. Some of the private ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: houses are not affordable to a common Kenyan who is working in the jua kali sector or earning a decent pay in the public sector. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I want to support this Motion because it is giving the Government an opportunity, policy and the framework that it needs to provide affordable Houses. I come from Langata Constituency. I represent the people living there. I have so many slums where very many Kenyans are living in very bad conditions. As you are aware, about four weeks ago, we had a very bad incident in Kijiji where 6,000 Kenyans were displaced by a fire incident. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on the Adoption of Sessional Paper No.3 of 2016 on the National Housing Policy. As I had indicated before the point of order from the Hon. Member, housing is a right according to the Constitution. Government is mandated to provide decent and affordable houses to its citizens. In the past, the Government had neglected this mandate and left it to the private sector. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The private sector has taken advantage of this and housing is very expensive and very few Kenyans can afford to live in decent houses. The Government has shown interest in supporting the housing sector. As Parliament, we can only support it by giving the necessary infrastructure in terms of legislation. I believe the Government can use such legislation to provide affordable and decent houses to Kenyans. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I represent Langata Constituency and part of my people live in a very bad state. They live in slums. It is only proper, as their Member of Parliament, that I support this Motion so that we can ensure the Government gives these Kenyans access to decent houses. We had a fire incident in Kijiji slums and we lost five lives, property and 6,000 people were displaced. Right now they are trying to go back to their normal lives. If they had proper housing, the fire incident would have been managed. However, they live in a very bad state and the ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in Nairobi alone, we need to put up 250,000 houses every year. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Sorry, I can see there was change of guard midway. view
