• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: had concerns that this is a technical area that needs a road engineer to be the Director-General. I know that there are specific laws that we passed in the past that required we open up the position to other professions. It seems like since the advent of the 2010 Kenya Constitution, lawyers want to be everywhere. We need to leave some specific technical areas to engineers. The Director- General of Kenya Rural Road Authority (KeRRA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and Kenya National Highway Authority (KENHA) sign. They cannot sign if they do not have knowledge in that particular area. ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I rise to support this last part especially where it says the Treasury is going to facilitate the agreement between the donors and county governments. I remember in 2013 some governors then tried to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: open embassies as though they were different from the national Government. I believe it is important and soon as the Bill is passed and signed into law, we will need to have proper regulations to clarify what Hon. Nyikal was saying, so that it is very clear. We do not expect county governments to deal directly with international donors, but they need to go through the National Treasury, so that they can be assisted. It is important and this is a good piece of legislation by the Senators. I support view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.470/2021 to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government:- (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain when the Chesuman Police Station in Tunyo Division of Marakwet East will be gazetted, having been commissioned in 2017, and further state the timelines within which the gazettement shall be undertaken? (ii) Within which timelines shall the Ministry provide Chesuman Police Station with a motor vehicle and other equipment to enable the police officers to effectively serve the residents of Tunyo Division?

• 5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As a majority of the Members have said, this Petition is from a busybody out there who may have tried to contest. Because the sitting MP has become difficult to unseat, we should give an opportunity for the Member to retire and then the Petitioner will have an opportunity. The retired President Kibaki was a Member of Parliament from the 1960s up to when he was elected as President. That means that if there were term limits back then, he would not have become the President of Kenya. That also applies to the current President. This ... view

• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wanted to say something on 3G. Before 3G, I am wondering why the IEBC must wait for four years to undertake mass voter registration like they are going to begin next week. It is something they should be doing continuously instead of waiting until the last minute. Also, the chair of the IEBC yesterday said they are going to gazette more than 10,000 new polling stations. Voter registration is beginning on Monday. They have not gazetted those stations. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Kenyans do not know where they are going to take the votes if they do not gazette. I hope they are going to gazette between today and tomorrow. On 3G, yesterday we were with the CAK. I want to say that there are many parts of the country that do not have 3G. We have told the CAK to give us a report. I believe they will give a comprehensive report in the next one month or so and we will report to the House. That is so that the IEBC does not have an excuse why they cannot undertake ... view
• 17 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of myself, my family and the people of Marakwet West, I wish to take this opportunity to send my sincere condolences to the family of the late Sen. Victor Prengei, who was a very young upcoming leader from the Ogiek community. In Marakwet West, a percentage of our people are Ogiek. Therefore, on behalf of the people of Nakuru, I say pole sana for the loss of our young Senator. May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank the Chairman, the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, for the response. However, the last time we were with the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Matiangi, in Tot with all the leaders from the region, namely, West Pokot, Elgeyo Marakwet and Baringo counties, he agreed to send a special deputy county commissioner (DCC) to Tot to take care of the issues in the region. However, we were surprised to see last week that instead of sending a special DCC, a curfew has been enforced from 6.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. So, we are still ... view
