• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report. Let me first start by stating that I belong to the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives that generally oversees this particular Government agency. Yes, we are aware that there have been issues concerning KEBS, but I have various concerns on the issues that are being raised in this Report. Hon. Speaker, if you look at page 13 of the Report, the crux of the matter is that KEBS allowed a company that presented fraudulent and misleading information. Those are two companies. We need to ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: We are a House that has got a lot of internal capacity. We need to make our recommendations and reports flow in a systematic and organised manner. Under recommendation number five, they are proposing investigations and yet, they have already condemned under recommendations three and four. You have already condemned. So, what investigation are you going to undertake? Hon. Speaker, matters are not coming out clearly. Yes, there could have been impropriety; there could have been administrative lapses, but that does not belong to Parliament to resolve basic administrative lapses like missing minutes and missing this-and-that. Those are issues that ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I am a founder Member of the Committee. The Chairperson has been around. We were with him during the morning Session. He left to attend to some urgent matters concerning the Committee. I undertake to alert him shortly so that if it is possible, we can get a response next week, knowing the urgency of the matter. Also, having had a lot of interactions in that area in a certain project, I know the urgency of the matter. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you can bank on me. I am a diligent Member of this House and I discharge my duties as provided by law. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I must thank my colleague who has moved it because it is timely and probably as we often say, long overdue. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Disaster is a peril that happens either unknowingly or can be predicted. This country has had its share of disasters that, indeed, from ordinary review and analysis, indicates they have been badly handled or coordinated. The only disaster in our history that seems to have been well coordinated was the terrorist attack on the Dusit hotel sometime last year. The rest of disasters have been badly handled. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: For example, the perennial flooding in Budalangi and part of my constituency Funyula, Nyando and perennial landslides in Mt. Kenya region. These are a testimony of a country that fails to predict and see what will happen in the near future. In many developed countries for example, the United States of America (USA), they have a very clear disaster warning system which this country has failed to embrace. In many cases, both the national and county governments fail to invest in local radios that are able to predict or warn of impending disasters. For example, the Bulala FM station in ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The speaker before has really amazed us about amending the Bible. But nevertheless, as the substantive speaker has said, he offers a lot of relief in times of stress. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will not participate in such kind of a venture. I stand to support the Bill. But I support with a bit of split mind in the sense that Harambee spirit, as introduced by our founding fathers, has had tremendous impact in this society. Some of us, at a personal level, are direct beneficiaries of the Harambee spirit. When I was admitted to join Starehe Boys Centre in January 1986, I did not have bus fare to bring me to Nairobi from the dusty The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
