• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Now that we are going to have an energised KeNHA given the fact that we are splitting the Authority into two entities, I hope that those roads will be addressed. I raised the issue in Parliament in 2008 and I am happy it is being addressed. It is only that it is taking too long. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support that Petition considering that one of the items that are being addressed very well by the new Constitution is fairness and equity. For example, in the last KDF recruitment, Navakholo Constituency did not benefit. That is unfair. That is what should be addressed by the Petition. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: We need to bring services closer to the people. It is not only the recruitment of the armed forces that is going to be done at Navakholo, there is need to recruit the police. It is important that this Petition is addressed. The way the boundaries were done in this country was rushed. There is unfairness and inequities in some places. That should be addressed so that every Kenyan gets fairness, particularly the youth. view

• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The first one is okay. Depending on the key roles that this organisation is supposed to play, we are moving from the word “Authority” to the word “Commission”. I also support the issue of the fines imposed because previously, it was open-ended and any amount could be imposed. I support it. It would have been good for us to put in place categories because those big consumers are also in different categories. For now, we will take it as it is. view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the First Supplementary Estimates for 2015/2016. This is a process that is necessary because of the nature of what the Government deals with, both at the national and county levels in terms of items they could not see in advance. It touches on issues to do with value for money. We do not get feedback. One of the biggest problems we have in the Government, unlike private companies, is that we do not get feedback on the actual output or what the money has done. That is ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: those who are involved will sit down and work out some formula of utilising that money properly rather than just giving it out and it ends up as handouts. Otherwise, it is a good idea. Our heritage is also very important. We have a problem of lack of proper coordination among independent offices such as the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Office of the Controller of Budget and the Office of the Auditor-General. In the overall Budget, the EACC said that they needed more money. I am only hoping that this will go towards making sure that they investigate ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues in sending a message of condolence to the family of the former President, His Excellency Mwai Kibaki, the people of Othaya and all Kenyans. It is said that behind every successful man, there is a woman. I believe that the successes that we saw the President making not only as a President, but even in his career as a politician and even when he was teaching at Makerere University, there was a big contribution made by the former First Lady, Lucy Kibaki. It is during the time when Kibaki ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support the President’s Address. What we are referring to is a constitutional requirement that the President was trying to fulfil. There was no other option. He had to say what he said, which can guide what we are supposed to do. To talk about perfection does not make sense. I just want to correct one of my colleagues who said that the school fees being paid by Government is discriminative. It started with free primary and secondary education during the previous regime. The Government paid across the board. In fact, ... view
