• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this important Bill. One of the fundamental differences between a developed country and a developing one is in the levels of their infrastructure and road networks. We can only achieve progress and the Vision 2030 dreams if we adequately invest in development of our infrastructure and, in particular, our roads. Roads contribute to economic growth and development.

One fundamental thing ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the Kamukunji grounds is undoubtedly one of the most important public spaces in Kenya’s political history; further aware that it was here that our national leaders held ground-breaking political rallies that mobilized the masses in the struggle for freedom and independence from colonial rule; cognizant of the fact that for the last 40 years, the Kamukunji grounds have continued to play a significant role in the Kenyan people’s struggle for human rights and democracy, specifically the Saba Saba Rally that brought an end to the one-party ... view

It is here where they came every year to rally ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: was here that the major Saba Saba was held which changed the political direction of this country from a dictatorship one-party system to a multiparty system. Over the years, people go to those grounds as holy political place where they can express themselves. However, in recent years, Kamukunji has been neglected. It risks being grabbed. What I am urging now is for this House to make sure that these grounds are preserved, protected and made a national monument which we can all be proud of. Thousands of Kenyans have given their lives so that we can be free and thousands ... view

• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Asante, Mhe. Spika. Ninasimama kuunga mkono uteuzi wa maafisa hao waliotajwa katika mjadala huu kuhusu Hoja Maalum ya maafisa walioteuliwa na kuletwa mbele ya Bunge na Rais Uhuru Kenyatta. Tunapowateua watu hawa na kuwapitisha, tusiangalie kwamba wao wanatoka kwetu nyumbani. Tusiangalie kama wao ni wa kabila letu na pia tusiangalie kama wao ni dini yetu bali tuangalie kwamba wao ni Wakenya wanaostahili kuteuliwa katika nyadhifa hizo za kitaifa.

Pili, alikuwa afisa katika Wizara ya Ushauri wa Nchi za ... view
