• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to make a comment and support the Motion on the President’s Address as delivered in compliance with the relevant provisions of the law and the Constitution. First of all, as a nation, we have no choice but to embrace the BBI and the handshake. We must agree that it has brought some tranquility, peace and normalcy in this country. I know it was not an easy decision for either of the two parties, His Excellency the President and the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga to forget the past and put the interests ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: As far as we are concerned, the BBI has given Parliament an opportunity to truly exercise its oversight role. As the Constitution has stated, the role of oversight rests with Parliament, the National Assembly and the Senate. If we fail to exercise our constitutional role, we should not blame anybody or the handshake because it was never going to be the responsibility of Hon. Raila Odinga to spend all his time doing other people’s work, yet you are mandated by the Constitution to oversee the national Government and the county government. Therefore, I want to urge my colleagues from whichever ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to commend the President and the investigative agencies on the fight against corruption. We cannot develop this country unless we rein in on corruption and on blatant theft and looting of public funds. What has happened in the past five years is probably not corruption, it is beyond corruption. This is theft and looting. That is why I want to support the President and urge Kenyans and all my colleagues in this House to allow and strengthen the DCI, EACC and the DPP and give them the necessary support to allow them to lead the war on ... view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: With regard to the Big Four Agenda, for us to take off, we must invest in manufacturing, more so, the textile industry through the cotton growing. I, therefore, urge the President and the relevant bodies to approve BT cotton so that we can increase production and meet the demand required by RIVATEX. view
• 25 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Just as we debated yesterday, the same issues seem to arise again. The Senate seems to be overrating itself in things that do not touch them. As we said yesterday, and we want to repeat it, probably, it is important for the Senate to be taken through the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution that demarcates the roles of both the national Government and county governments. That said and done, some amendments are acceptable because they bring clarity and they clean up the specific sub-sections of the Bill that we passed here. However, others introduce unnecessary bureaucracy ... view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to thank my good friend Sir George, as we call him for this generosity. view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I support the Motion because the village elders - we call them liguruu in my constituency – are the first port of call for disputes especially between man and wife and family and children. They are the first call on the issue of land and boundary disputes. They help us in gathering relevant information on the ground. They have greatly assisted me in identifying needy students for bursary awards and needy members of families for the Cash Transfer Programme. For this, I sincerely ask the Government to look at them with a bit of fairness and award them some honoraria ... view
