• 20 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: This matter is actively before the court. I believe the best thing the Member for Mwala can do is to acquaint himself with the contents of the case and support the family. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. view
• 20 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member for Mwala has raised an issue about the family travelling to the US to seek justice. From what we gathered, there is an active case filed by the family. There were conflicts on who the family is. In the Statement, you heard that the deceased had a family in the US with a Tanzanian lady and they had a son. So, the issue of who is pursuing the court case is ambiguous. He was not known as a family man other than having brothers and sisters. Therefore, it was very difficult for the ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the guidance. Indeed, this family needs closure of this matter. We will endeavour to do whatever is within our purview to bring this matter to rest. I will communicate the same to the Chairperson of our Committee. Thank you. view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank my colleague, the Member of Parliament for Kipipiri, who is my neighbour in a special way. The above-mentioned road passes through my constituency from the Flyover to Njabini, then Kipipiri, and all the way to Nyahururu. That road has become a death trap simply because the bumps are not marked. We have raised this issue numerous times with the KeNHA, but nothing has been done so far. In my very constituency, there is a place called Kanamba in Gathaara Ward. We have lost lives of school-going children simply because there are ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chair. I wish to support this amendment for the simple reason that members of the county assemblies are the representatives of the people. Indeed, any report that emanates from whatever quarter needs the approval and ratification of the county assemblies. We are talking of a very important Bill here. It is the Food and Feed Safety Control Coordination Bill. view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: I come from an agricultural constituency where we do dairy farming. We have so much unregulated feed from manufacturers. Of course, we know the kind of infiltration that can happen within the circles of animal feeds. If after any investigation or certification of feeds that report comes to governors for approval, we will be opening a highway for corruption or scrupulousness. With the approval of the assembly that has direct mandate to oversight from the people, they will have an opportunity to interrogate. Assemblies may even do visits and even involve certification bodies like the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support this amendment. view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I also support this amendment, but still give my voice on feeds. This is what we intend to do in empowering the relevant county government departments that are dealing with matters relating to agriculture. view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: The issue of standards and certification is quite an important matter to this country today. The world is becoming a global village whereby we are now becoming borderless concerning imports, exports, and competitive and comparative advantage. Countries will now have to trade. We have the slogan “let us go trade, let us go exchange goods”. Let us enjoy each competitive and comparative advantage. Setting the standards is what I would call a panacea to where we want to go. Feeds is quite an interesting matter in this country. We cannot trade if there is no regulation because we will not ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: 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
