• 25 Sep 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I wanted to tell the Cabinet Secretary that a very important and large local soccer tournament, the Kamukunji Peace Tournament, 2024, is taking place at the moment and is bringing in 48 teams across the five wards. But the conditions in which they play are not good. Historically, Kamukunji is one of the constituencies that has produced some of the best football talents in this country. Is there any contribution that your Ministry could make to the large number of urban youths in our capital City of five million people? What plans does ... view
• 13 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Petition by Prof. Atwoli on this critical issue of suicide. This House should not mix their religious beliefs and our ability to legislate justice for all our citizens. Those who are committing suicide are mostly people with mental illnesses, those who are not psychologically balanced and have problems in their own lives and feel that it is not worth living on earth. So, bringing in biblical or Quranic verses in order to oppose is out of place. I think we should decriminalise it and make sure that the patients who survive ... view
• 7 Mar 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I welcome students from Limuru Girls to this House. My granddaughter is one of them. On her behalf and all the girls, you are most welcome. view
• 14 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I just wanted to bring to the attention of the House an incidence that happened in my constituency yesterday. It is a matter of urgency and one that needs attention. view
• 14 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: A group of multi-agency undercover operatives have put their focus on the business district of Eastleigh. They have targeted wholesale shops trading in milk products more specifically, powdered milk. They have, since January, carried out raids in shops and have been arresting traders. Yesterday, the heavily armed security agents carried out what looked like a commando anti-terror attack operation thus disrupting business in the crowded Eastleigh business hub. Eventually, this led to closure of business district activities along First Avenue, which is one of the busiest trading areas in the country. It caused business losses running into millions of shillings. ... view
• 14 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: We have the Border Patrol Unit, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and other institutions trusted with the control of our borders. Eastleigh is not an Island. The question I am asking is: have our border control systems collapsed? Why are they going around harassing law-abiding citizens who are going about their own businesses? Why are they refusing to accept documents and receipts that have been provided by KRA, KEBS and other relevant authorities? Why are the police who come to these premises not upholding the rule of law? I am concerned about this as a Member ... view
• 14 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am also seeking your guidance in terms of how more effectively we can hold certain sections of the police to the rules by which they operate. I think what has been going on is above normal. They were looking for powdered milk. I just wanted to know whether powdered milk has now become a prohibited item and should not be sold in shops in our country. If that is the case, the Government should issue a statement to state the types of powdered milk that are prohibited and cannot be stocked or sold in shops and ... view
