• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.343/2020 which is directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why the procurement process for a contractor for the Matayos-Ganjala-Nakhasiko-Nangina (C830) Road that traverses Matayos and Funyula constituencies which was included among the10,000 Roads Programme under the Low Volume Sealed Roads (LVSR) stalled? (ii) When is the procurement process expected to be completed, so as to have the road improved to bitumen standards? view

• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I am a founder Member of the Committee, and if there was a ranking system, I would be there. I am neither the Chair nor the Vice-Chair. I spoke to the Chairman who has indicated that he is on his way. I will link them up shortly. I want to assure you that the matter will be addressed. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I will organise for the sitting shortly and I believe that before we proceed for the recess, we will have attempted to resolve the issue at hand. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Committee for having done an exposition on the status of the advertised stadia. Secondly, I must also join Kenyans in expressing the disappointment we all felt when we lost the hosting rights for the African Championship of Nations (CHAN) because we could not complete the stadia in good time. During their campaigns, the Jubilee Government went all over the country and told Kenyans that they will build modern stadia all over. It is close to eight years and based on what the Committee’s ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the people of Funyula Constituency, myself and my family, I stand here at this moment to send my condolences to the people of Matungu for the loss of a dear colleague, Hon, Justus Murunga. It hit me like a thunderbolt. Truth be told, we were very close friends. I first met Hon. Murunga when we were campaigning in 2017. Whenever I would pass to go and rest in a certain facility within Matungu Constituency, being a few kilometres away from Funyula… He was a likeable and jovial man and truly believed in the ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. As my colleague Hon. Atandi has said, I also had reservations about her appointment which arose from two issues that are very clear. I come from a fishing community and once you land and people find a rotten fish, most buyers will not touch your consignment because one of them is rotten. Having worked at the IEBC in 2013 and 2017 and without doubt having had disputed and contested elections, it is practically impossible to believe that she emerged without blemish. But we also say in ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to wish the Hon. Member who have spoken a happy birthday. However young she is, you never ask a lady her age. It is against our custom. So, we assume she is always 16 years old. view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, all of them are always sweet 16. I also stand here to support the Committee’s Report, but obviously, like many of us and quite a number of Kenyans out there, we are disappointed at the skewed age of the appointees. Yes, it is granted that the job of an Ambassador, a High Commissioner or a diplomat is purely a technical job that requires a lot of experience and requires you to command respect amongst your host country, but honestly speaking, almost 70 per cent of the nominees were born in 1960s. This was before independence, and probably, that ... view
• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Even if you look at the East African Community (EAC), we are starting to have challenges. Our relationship with Tanzania is bad. Similarly, from our trade between Uganda and Kenya where we have been the biggest trading partner, our volume of exports to Uganda has continued to dwindle. That is because of failed diplomacy, trade negotiations and the rest of the ideas. We just hope that the just concluded deal between Kenya and the United Kingdom (UK) is not going to disorganize other trade arrangements that we have with the European Union (EU) member states. Therefore, the issue of diplomacy ... view
