Anthony Kimani Ichung'wah

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) I will conclude by saying that State House does not only mean the State House in Nairobi. We are all aware we have done a number of state lodges across the country, including in Wajir, Northern Kenya. People who felt excluded from Kenya. Even in...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) As I conclude, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was talking about the Ngong Bypass Road and the Matasia loops. Almost 40 per cent of the people who live in Kajiado North migrated from my village in Gikambura. They call me every day. As a national leader,...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Kaluma is very intelligent. He should inform me.

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, that was an unnecessary interjection that I have no time for. We all know how we make the budget and we live in this country. If you are not a diligent Member of Parliament to follow something up, nothing will land on...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I was concluding. I thank Hon. Kaluma for that information. Unlike some of our former presidents who spent a lot of time in State House, our President is very mobile. In that mobility that makes every Kenyan feel as part and parcel...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Since my time is about to end, I have no business replying to the Member for Starehe. I mentioned Kajiado North because they are my immediate neighbours. I am working very hard for them to get access to roads. The...

Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me begin by thanking all the Members who have contributed to this Bill.
