• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to support the proposed amendments by Hon. Wario. We need to have a roadmap on how we can gazette forest land. Some areas were gazetted as forest land illegally and forests were allocated to individuals. We have two areas in Marakwet West where in 1994, the Government of Kenya took about 70 acres of land to pave way for a district headquarters and people were settled in a forest land. I have been following the issue for the last three years for this portion of land to be degazzeted and I am told the ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I believe that your eyesight is good because you can see this far, even with my colour. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I rise to support this clause to reduce the size of the package to 50 kilogrammes. I come from a potato-growing area. If you look at the way brokers pack potatoes, you would think those sacks weigh 90 kilogrammes, but they actually weigh up to 150 kilogrammes. There are two bags in circulation called “soya bag” and “jubilee bag”. I also propose that we enact a law to compel factories to package maize, potatoes and everything else in 50 kilogramme bags. view

• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the nomination and appointment of Dr. Mwinzi. She is qualified as you can see from her curriculum vitae. She got Division I. She did a Masters in Communication and Technology and she also holds a PhD. Dr. Mwinzi is qualified for the job because when you look at her experience, for a long time, she has been working in the Ministry of Education as a Director. We believe when she is confirmed to the position of a PS, she is going to assist the country to push forward technical trainings ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Senate amendments. Setting up, at least, an office in each of the 47 counties of Kenya is very important. There are some counties that have a mix of ASAL and non-ASAL areas. If we do not set up an office in each of the counties, some counties might suffer because of the mix. Secondly, there are those counties that are not classified as ASAL. You will realise that in some years when La Nina sets in, even those counties will be prone to drought. It will be prudent to ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Last time when we passed the Equalisation Fund Bill, some constituencies that are semi- arid did not qualify to benefit from the Equalisation Fund. This is because we looked at the Equalisation Fund as a county function instead of looking at each of the constituencies. I support the two amendments proposed by the Senate. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support this amendment because, in a country such as the United States of America (USA) and others, the precinct of Parliament is surrounded. In the past, it was very difficult to access Parliament. People come to block Parliament entrance in the pretext of demonstrations. So, I support this amendment. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the amendment by substituting the word “youth” with “a Kenyan”. Currently, we have many Kenyans who are above the age of 35. We have some teachers who are seeking employment and others in other areas. Recently, I took one of my constituents to be employed in a particular organization, but they said that they only employ persons who are below 35 years old. That person has been looking for employment for over 20 years and he is now about 41 years. I agree that we substitute the word “youth” with ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill by Hon. Keynan. This Bill is due or overdue because, as an independent arm of Government, Members who represent constituencies and people of Kenya, we need to be independent and insulated from any prosecution because of discharging our duties. It is very sad that one of us who was in this House for 10 years has gone through some tribulations because of what he said as a Chairperson of a Select Committee to discuss one of our departed Members. It is very important that this Bill is supported ... view
