• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Ochieng’ just wanted to speak. We were very united then and are still united. We are not as fragmented as other countries in the African continent. We do not have civil war in Kenya. That is a sign of the unity that we have in Kenya. Under President Uhuru Kenyatta, we have already united in the Jubilee Party. We expect others to unite, so that we can go to elections united looking for the one position which the Jubilee Party will get, anyway. There is no doubt about that. I want to go ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You can see the Chairman of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Committee gesturing. I support this Bill but I will be very brief. We need to control betting and licensing in this country because a lot of our people lose money through betting and licensing. In my constituency, there is a particular a fellow who sells phones and tells people that they can win a motorbike. When I confronted him, he told me that he was given that licence by the County Government of Meru. Unfortunately, that licence was just to allow ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: people who want to cash in our people’s misfortunes. One person may win Kshs15 million but how many people have been made paupers out of it? With those remarks, I support. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Shakeel has said that the Central Kenya region has more schools than other places because it has been favoured. He should prove that allegation. He has said that Kisumu and Baringo have been marginalised and Central Kenya has been favoured. I want him to prove that allegation because we are all equal in the eyes of God. Thank you. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. My reason for supporting it is exactly the opposite of Hon. Shakeel’s reason. If we pass this Bill today, it will be the most important thing we will have done for the NG-CDF. If we divide Kshs25 billion equally amongst the 290 constituencies, each constituency will get Kshs81 million. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I request to be protected from the noise being created by Hon. Shakeel. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. By dividing the Kshs25 billion equally, we will be doing a great favour to the country. The NG-CDF has gone a long way in assisting our constituencies and the country as a whole. We need to file the appeal for the Kshs10 billion to be released. Once we get back the Kshs10 billion, the Committee should ensure that the money divided equally amongst all the constituencies. Let us not forget that there already exists the Equalisation Fund. We need to work a way out. With those remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill. In this Bill, there is conflict with other Acts in approval of programmes. If you notice, we have had many courses which are offered by our universities. Some of them lack accreditation from statutory bodies. For example, there was a time when some students who had done engineering degrees were not recognised by the Board of Engineers and they had a problem in getting accreditation. So, with this one, I think we would have solved part of the problems. Clause 6 of the Bill is about protection from ... view
