• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: this country has let the health workers down. Simply because of selfishness, we did not care and corruption has become a top priority in this country. What happened at KEMSA ought not to have happened in a sane sober mind. Those who defrauded KEMSA and took money from there are Christians, Muslims or adhere to various faiths. This, indeed, is a wake-up call if a Christian can steal from the dead or the sick. If anybody who purports to believe in God can steal from the sick, that, indeed, is a shame and indictment of how we perceive morality in ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the amendment by Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal. Indeed, the substantive wording of urging and resolving is a grey area in this House. If you urge, it means you are just talking. You are just making a statement to entertain yourself and do the rest of the other things. If we say we are resolving, because this is the National Assembly, the national Government is compelled by the Constitution and other laws to implement whatever we will have resolved. Whichever way they want to implement it and however long it takes to ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. I stand to support the Petition by the Governor for Uasin Gishu County. Indeed, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, as we know it down there, is the only referral hospital covering the entire former Western Province, the entire Nyanza and most of the Rift Valley. To this date, if it has not received conditional grants, it is indeed an indictment on the national Government. We must move with speed to remedy this problem. As of today, I have had to transport two patients from my constituency to get admitted because all the other ... view
• 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: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. 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
