• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: From 8th March 2018 when there was the handshake, we mingle freely. We sit anywhere and we are happy. I rise on Standing Order No.95. I have read the mood of the House. We still have a lot of business to transact and we only sit once a week. I request that the Mover be called upon to reply. view

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Report. From the outset, I want to pass my congratulatory message to the Chair of the Departmental Committee of Environment and Natural Resources and his team. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: The title of the Report is an Inquiry into the Status of Dams in Kenya. I expected this Report to capture present, historical and futuristic nature of proposed dams. So, we would have a Report that is surely an inquiry into the dams status in Kenya. I happen to come from a constituency where we host a dam that serves Nairobi, that is Sasumua Dam. It is interesting that we are some of the people who suffer some serious historical injustices. This is because the water comes from my constituency yet, my constituents do not enjoy the same water. This ... view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue is that of bureaucracy. You find that there is a lot of infighting within Government circles like if a project is being done in my constituency, we have to get clearance from NEMA, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). We get all manner of back and forth movements, therefore, delaying the implementation of these projects. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Finally, water is an economic and social right that is envisaged in our Constitution in Article 43(1)(d). It is a right for every Kenyan to access clean water in adequate quantities. However, the kind of funding that we give the Ministry of Water is not commensurate with the demand that is on the ground. Therefore, as a House and as one arm of the Government, we need to relook into our budgets and make sure that we increase allocations for water like now when we have this COVID-19 pandemic. It is so serious that many homes cannot access clean water. ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to add my voice in support of the Petition by Hon. K.J. and the petitioners. The BOM teachers are suffering. They cannot be paid because there is no school fees being paid. Some of us had allocated a lot of money for bursaries towards this cause, but unfortunately, we cannot continue to do the same. So, then the said teachers are not paid. As alluded by Hon. Wamalwa, on the issue of teachers in private schools, I have several text messages from teachers in my constituency and I believe that is the case ... view

• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this Vote because it will support one of the Big Four Agenda of the President. Indeed, from the foregoing of COVID-19, it is clear that we need to support our local industries. I hope all this money is not going to Recurrent Expenditure. We need to see the same going to addressing manufacturing concerns in our constituencies. I thank you. view
