• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: That is me. She is Ombaka and I am Obara. Those are two different names. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, thank you. I stand to support the Report. This is a Report of 2013-2016. I congratulate the Committee for doing a good job. The Report is for Nairobi County. I am not sure when we will get reports for our counties. As I speak, the audit that started a week ago is for 2013/2014. That is the first audit for the constituency that has been started. As to when it will be completed and submitted to this office, I am not very sure. What I will call for as an interested stakeholder is that we get a schedule of ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: This Report has sent out a good signal to the country that even in Parliament, audited accounts are publicly submitted for the public to see what is being done in the constituencies. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I do not think I am the only one who will say this today, but in the constituencies, the only fund that the people know is the NG-CDF. They expect that it should do everything. If you talk about health, they will come and talk about their dispensaries. They will also talk about water and ask why the NG-CDF cannot do that for them. Why is this still happening yet we have been in devolution for the last six years? People still, somehow, do not seem to know what those offices do. Those are devolved functions. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: There is need to sensitise our communities in constituencies so that they clearly know the role of each person and can hold them to account. How do we expect them to hold governors to account if they do not know that the water and the roads they are talking about were supposed to have been provided by the governor? They still come to the Member of Parliament. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: If you go round the constituencies, you can see projects that have been funded by the CDF as has been said by all my colleagues. The projects that you can see and pinpoint are those that have been supported by the NG-CDF and not by the devolved funds. Bursary funds should either be increased or completely consolidated to be within the NG-CDF. Its impact is so great in the constituencies that you can pinpoint it. The constituents know which child in which village got bursary funds. For those other funds, you do not know who has received what money. I ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. I have been very patient in waiting to the end. What we have heard today is the case of everything going wrong with bus transport. There was no licence, the bus was overloaded, people were sitting on crates and the bus had no seatbelts. It is a very sad story. May I first thank Madam Florence for bringing this Motion to the House. I send my heartfelt condolences and those from the people of Kabondo Kasipul to the people of Kakamega for all the lives lost in ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I support the Motion. It is a well- documented Report and I am happy to see that we are getting the fruits of the one-stop border post. We have been told very clearly here that there is increased trade amongst our people and that the clearance of cargo handling has been improved. We have also been told that there is increased revenue collection by about 60 per cent. I believe that with improved or increased automation, we should do much more than this. Those are stories of ... view
• 4 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. At the outset, let me appreciate the team that is in Pan- African Parliament. I want to appreciate the whole team because they are excellent ambassadors of our country. I had an opportunity to visit the Pan-African Parliament with the Regional Integration Committee and I want to say that we have a strong team. view
