• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Just the other day I was having a conversation with the Water Cabinet Secretary (CS), my brother Hon. Eugene Wamalwa about this service and he decried the insufficiency of resources allocated to him as the CS that has made it difficult for him to sufficiently service the needs of Kenyans across the board. Therefore, very reluctantly, I would persuade the House that we do not alter the budget already allocated to water and then plead with my Chairman because I sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC), that he could find another way of fulfilling this need of the ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. While I fully support this Motion, will I be in order just before we vote to seek a clarification from the Chairman of the Constituencies Development Fund Committee and my Chairman in the Budget and Appropriations Committee as to why the figure for NGCDF would be stuck? Even with the additional Kshs1 billion, we will only be maintaining the level of the financial year ending 30th June 2016, while we know that the Budget graduates every year. The Budget has increased so much the next financial year. All Votes have graduated by that percentage ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for purposes of further exploring this matter, could we then put it on record that the Budget and Appropriations Committee becomes seized of this matter so that they could then consider it at the next earliest opportunity? view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Most obliged. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Mswada huu ni muhimu kwa sababu unapendekeza utaratibu ambao utatuwezesha kurejelea mfumo wa kuorodhesha wanafunzi na shule mbalimbali katika mitihani ya kitaifa. Ni lazima tukubali ya kwamba 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
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: kuorodheshwa ni suala ambalo linapatikana katika kila nyanja. Hata sisi kama Wabunge, tunajua kwamba ukitazama ule utaratibu na utamaduni kwenye Jumuiya ya Madola, utapata ya kwamba hata Wabunge kama sisi huorodheshwa kwenye viwango mbalimbali na kuna utaratibu wa utamaduni huo. Kwa mfano, ikiwa ni lazima utoe nafasi katika mjadala kati ya Mbunge wa kawaida au Mbunge ambaye anashikilia wadhifa fulani katika uongozi wa Bunge hili, utatoa nafasi ya kwanza kwa yule Mbunge anayeshikilia wadhifa fulani ama kwa yule Mbunge ambaye amekuwa hapa kwa muda fulani. Huo ni utaratibu ambao umekubalika katika utamaduni wa Bunge za Jumuiya ya Madola. Utaratibu huu ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Kwa hivyo, Mswada huu unatupatia nafasi ya kubuni utaritibu maalum. Hapo mbeleni, shule ziliorodheshwa bila utaratibu. Zimeorodheshwa kiholela. Sheria hii itabuni utaratibu wa kutuwezesha kufanya shughuli hii kwa njia ya utaratibu ambayo ninaamini itazuia udanganyifu. Ni lazima sisi kama Wabunge tuunge mkono hatua hizi hasa hatua ambazo lengo lake ni kuhakikisha kwamba tunaondoa kila aina ya udanganyifu katika mitihani. Ndio sababu nachukua fursa hii kumpongeza Waziri wa Elimu, Bw. Fred Matiang’i, kwa hatua ambazo amechukua kujaribu kuimarisha hali ya wizara na kurejesha heshima katika usimamizi wa mitihani, ingawa sikubaliani naye katika maamuzi yake ya hivi punde ambayo yanaondoa maombi kwa ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Motion. I want to acknowledge the very good long standing relationship that Kenya has had with the people of Japan. It is a relationship that has impacted positively on the economic development of this country in many sectors. Today, JICA remains one of the major drivers of grassroots community development in the country. Two months ago, I hosted a delegation of the Japanese Embassy in my constituency, Budalangi, led by the Deputy Ambassador, His Excellency Mikio Mori. The purpose of that delegation was to initiate a very unique project ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: this in the context of the broader implications of the debt burden and how much this adds onto that debt burden. There is empirical information suggesting that we are not doing so badly in terms of our indebtedness. However, I dare say that we are not necessarily in a comfort zone in terms of indebtedness. It is a deal that I will find very difficult to oppose. Therefore, I am supporting it. As we secure this deal, let us take time to interrogate the implications of this hefty borrowing on Kenya’s debt situation. Hefty borrowing has become quite common in ... view
