• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Kwa hayo machache, naunga mkono. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. My intervention is not related to the debate at hand but it is very difficult for us to follow the proceedings of the House from the back here. In particular, I am not able to hear your pronouncement. So, I will be grateful if you could instruct the technicians to deal with this problem of speakers because I can only imagine what you are saying at times. I think this is the problem for most of the Members who are sitting here at the back. view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for his detailed report. I am grateful that this sordid saga is now over and our Kenyan compatriots have been released and are on their way back home. However, it is disturbing to note the increase in drug trafficking and use in our country. In the latest US Report on money laundering, it is stated that Kenya is one of the major narcotic trafficking countries in the world. The case of Chinedu is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a problem that is deep rooted and ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. As a member of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, I support the Motion. I think that our country has suffered quite enormously because as a regional economic and political force we are punching below our weight. We are not recognised because of the poor foreign relations that we have. We are also not recognised because of the poor security relations that we have as well as the poor relations we have in the East African Community (EAC). What we want to do with these changes and with this new Government is to ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am delighted that you can see us here at the back, the marginalized section. I am privileged to have this opportunity to speak for the first time with your permission. So, I would like to support the Motion. But I want to raise one or two things relating to the fact that, so far, we are behind in the payment of Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money. It appears that we will be missing our targets for this year because we are already reaching the end of June and July is next month. Therefore, my call ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I come from a partly under-developed constituency which requires a lot of assistance. Bursaries have not been paid and there are many needy orphaned children who are not able to go to school because of that. Therefore, I urge that the disbursement of that money be done as quickly as possible. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Having said so, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Kamukunji Constituency for re-electing me as their Member of Parliament. I have not had that chance! I also want to thank the Kenyan people for the many calls, prayers and support I have received, which is quite overwhelming. It is a great country with great people and I want to express my gratitudes that, through their prayers, I must say, I have been able to recover. I am now partly recovered and I hope with the grace of God, I will be able to completely ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, I would like to say that there are very serious problems with the insurance policy. I want to raise this in the House because many Members of Parliament might think that they are well covered. You are not well covered! My parliamentary insurance could not cover even a third of the cost I have incurred in my medical expenses throughout this period. Therefore, when people say that we have outstanding privileges and benefits, they really do not understand how little it is to be covered, when you have a serious accident or serious injuries of the kind that I ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my constituency, there was trouble in Eastleigh, as you all remember, and a number of registration centers were not opened. We did not register people for the first two or three days in, for example, St. Theresa Church and Maina Wanjigi polling stations. I also wanted to find out what measures he has put in place to allow the people in those areas to register given the fact that we lost three or four days as a result of the unrest in that part of the constituency. view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Asante, Bi Naibu Spika wa Muda. Mimi nasimama kuunga mkono Mswada huu. Hii ni kwa sababu tunavyojua vijana wengi katika nchi yetu wana tatizo la kupata vitambulisho. Kuwa na kura na kupiga kura ni haki katika Katiba yetu. Kwa hivyo, tusiwanyime vijana hawa haki ya kupiga kura. Vitambulisho vilipoletwa hapa Kenya vilikuwa ni kama vitu vinavyotumiwa na wakoloni. Kuna nchi nyingi zilizoendelea duniani ambazo hazitumii vitambulisho. Mtu ana haki ya kupiga kura akiwa ni mzaliwa na ana barua ya kuzaliwa--- view
