• 3 May 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My question is about my neighbourhood in Kamukunji and specifically Eastleigh, which has grown The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 3 May 2023 in National Assembly: rapidly in the last few years and become a major business hub. This neighbourhood is short- changed in terms of electricity supply. It does not get sufficient and continuous supply. It has become a city within a city but has been ignored and to a certain extent is being choked to death by Kenya Power - which, on a daily basis, carries out an unannounced and deliberate power cuts. These power outages are affecting and paralysing business activities thus causing heavy losses to local traders. They include disabling and deactivating transformers that are routinely organised by Kenya Power syndicates that ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to ask this Question. I had in fact asked you to indulge and allow me to say a warm welcome to my colleague, the Prime Cabinet Secretary. I would like to ask Question 116 of 2023 which is directed to the Prime Cabinet Secretary. Could the Prime Cabinet Secretary: (a) explain the efforts that the Government is instituting to cushion Kenyans from the unbearable cost of living as a result of rising prices of basic commodities? (b) explain what led to the escalation of prices of commodities such as unga, rice, sugar and ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: (iii) Address the depreciation of the Kenya Shilling against other currencies? (iv) Outline the immediate steps the Government is taking to stabilize the economy and set the country on a growth trajectory? Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, while the Prime Cabinet Secretary has outlined the long-term measures that the Government is hoping to benefit from and jumpstart our economy, I have not heard adequate steps that the Government will take to address the cost of living in the short-term and in the medium-term. It is good to provide fertilisers for our farms, but 30 per cent of our population lives in urban centres where they are suffering from the high cost of living. Apart from the wish-list that, perhaps, there will be a bumper harvest or the global economy will ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Government is leaving Kenyans entirely to the vagaries of the economy in terms of supply and demand issues. The second point that I wanted to speak about is that since the Prime Cabinet Secretary has highlighted the runaway debt crisis in the country, our escalating national debt is like an albatross which, if not handled with the care and seriousness it demands, could choke the life out of our national economy and undermine our national development. I already hear from economists that our national debt is already above Ksh10 trillion. So, what concrete action is the Government taking to ensure ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, could the Prime Cabinet Secretary explain the steps the Government is taking to ensure that there is adequate relief food supply and distribution to the parts of the country severely affected by famine and drought? view
• 26 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I very much appreciate the Prime Cabinet Secretary’s presentation. He has given us a picture of the assistance the Government is providing to communities affected by drought and famine. However, I note that Nairobi, with one of the largest populations suffering from poverty, is completely left out of the relief food distribution. There are pockets of abject poverty and increasing hunger exacerbated by high unemployment in the informal settlements in our capital city. These communities have no safety nets and often fall through the cracks. What measures is the Government taking to ensure that these neglected ... view
• 20 Apr 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute. I join the rest of the House in supporting this Motion at this moment when these issues are quite common in our society, particularly in large estates run by multinationals companies that have very good and strict regulations in the management of their staff. This incident has not been addressed for a long time. view
