• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to second this Motion on the Accession to the Convention on the International Hydrographic Organization by the Republic of Kenya. In the interest of time, I wish to confine myself to the benefits so that we can apprise ourselves on why we need to be a member of this organisation. States belonging to IHO are in much better position to comply with the requirements of Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Regulation 9. SOLAS is an organisation that deals with safety of life at sea. We also find that the IHO ... view

• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity to support the Report by the Special Funds Committee on the Audited Report on the NG-CDF Accounts of the said constituencies in Kiambu County.

I believe that equality is not ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is the issue of late disbursements. The constituencies cannot implement their projects on time because the National Treasury is delaying in disbursing funds. There is the issue of inequality in terms of disbursing the same.

• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the position taken by the CDF Committee on the issue of the Bill that has been brought to this House or presented to us by the Senate. I take a keen consideration of the Report that emanated from the deliberations of the CDF Committee. Without saying much, the people who have the primary duty of developing our wards are the county assemblies because they are established by the Constitution. Therefore, it would be their duty to allocate money to their wards. Therefore, this matter should not have come here for ... view
