• 22 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: He is but he is a ranking Member. He has been in this House for long enough and we are taking cue from him in many aspects.

• 22 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: that are awarded to the litigants goes to lawyers and advocates who represent them. We should hold this matter dearly because it is the easiest route for corruption. view
• 22 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: We cannot have contracts with questionable stipulations that are designed to fail. Some contract designers do a shady job, then rush to court and get the tender awards. It is high time that we stamped our authority as a House and have standard documents to guide the tendering process. As it is, some of those documents are tailor-made with an end in mind.

• 28 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we must come up with an acceptable formula, save for the one in place in the Act, where revenue is shared out in terms of wards, which is not a term that is allowed. We must factor in the population, and the vastness of the areas that we represent because you can imagine a constituency like Kinangop, where I have eight wards with a total population of about 300,000 people. A constituency like Ruiru with a population of 700,000 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
