• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been waiting for the whole afternoon such that I almost doubted technology. First, I rise to support the subject matter in discussion but before I make any comments, let me join my colleagues, Kenyans and the people of Nyeri to send my condolences to the family of Dr. Wahome Gakuru, the former governor of Nyeri. Also on behalf of the people of Funyula, the same goes to the people that have lost their lives in this month of November when we Catholics remember the departed souls. We particularly remember those who have ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I particularly want to draw our attention to the fact that when we were young, in my constituency of Funyula, we had predictable weather patterns. Of late, crop failure as a result of lack of rain has become a recurrent issue every year. Of course, as a community we want to commend the youths who have taken it up upon themselves to plant trees in order to avoid the rapid rate of deforestation. I believe we need to address the issues at hand and I sincerely wish the Ministry will liaise with the county governments since most of the environmental ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I stand here to support the Adjournment Motion. Indeed, we the people of NASA have had no time to come and sit in the House because we have had more pressing national issues to deal with. We believe this gives us an opportunity to continue agitating for fair, credible and verifiable elections because to imagine and believe there is no problem in Kenya, is to sincerely behave like the ostrich. You burry your head in the sand hoping the problem will go away. It is The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: practically impossible to talk of being a leader and the President of the Republic of Kenya when you know very well that over three quarters of the country has issues with the legitimacy in the office. I sincerely want to tell everybody who cares to know that the election of 26th October 2017 is just a dream. It will not happen. Even if it happens, it will produce a president who has no legitimacy and, indeed, as the former Chief Justice said, the drums are ringing in this country. Those of us who refuse to hear the drums are generally ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The nurses have been on strike for over 100 days. Nobody seems to care how to solve the problem because it does not affect them. It only affects poor people from Funyula Constituency. It only affects marginalised people from Busia and other parts of the country. The so-called ‘slump down’ in the economy is a situation that would have been avoided. If Jubilee would not have instigated the bungling of the elections, we would long have concluded this matter. As I conclude, we know problems lie ahead, but I want to urge my fellow ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to oppose this Motion on the ground that after strictly listening to the judgment of the Supreme Court, I realised that it ordered the IEBC to conduct repeat election in compliance with the law. I do not remember hearing them say we need to change the law. I imagine that the election date of 26th October 2017 was set in compliance with the existing law. I feel that the so-called amendments to the law are suspicious, mischievous and generally meant to divide this country further than it stands now. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Not really, Hon. Speaker. Probably we have not done adequate consultations on the truth of this matter, but when I read the minds of the Members on the other side, it seems there is a need to rush and ram into the throats of Kenyans some specific objectives. I cannot understand the need for tomorrow’s morning session. If it is to only consider membership of the ad hoc Committee, then this is not a matter which will require a full session to do the same. I stand to oppose and be guided. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is my maiden speech in this House. First of all, I thank the people of Funyula for giving me an opportunity to be their Member of Parliament. I also take this opportunity to convey greetings from the people of Funyula to the leadership and membership of this House and request that we conduct ourselves with decorum and in a manner befitting our status in society. Secondly, I might not know most of the people on this list, but it suffices to note that in the wisdom of the selectors, they must have considered them worthy their ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: divergent views and varying expectations. We, therefore, expect nothing less than impartiality and professionalism in the conduct of the affairs of the House. In that regard, I support and wish them well. view
