• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: Ideally, Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is nothing that is out of order, but I have heard the words ‘abduction’ and ‘disappearances’ being mentioned. The framers of the current Constitution, the great men and women who fought for the making of this important nation and State called Kenya never imagined at any one moment that under this generous Constitution, a time will come when adherence to the rule of law and constitutional order will be put aside and criminal elements in the name of anything will just abduct people, will make sure individuals disappear and then on the face of it, ... view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: My conclusion is this: I understand the intrigues and I really empathise with him because I know what he has been asked to convey, having been a former Chairman. I want the Hon. Chairman to put his foot down because he is a very important leader. Gabriel is not the making of anyone. In fact, he is on the list of those I call test-tube politicians. You are a self-made politician. Do not accept some of the answers that do not deserve to be brought to this House. Throw them out of the window. Demand for a proper answer that ... view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: an elected leader and a State officer, tomorrow they will do it to you and it will be said it is the work of criminal elements. Go back to those people and tell them that we demand a plausible and reasonable answer to some of these questions that we raised. Telling us that it is an abduction does not make sense. view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The institution of NG-CDF and the framers of that law have freed Parliament from the yoke of the Presidency and marginalisation by members of the Executive. Before we enacted NG-CDF, a Member of Parliament was a pauper - the most disadvantaged. He was not respected and was not part of the national development agenda. Luckily, the framers of the current Constitution equated representation to our sovereignty. Those individuals who put every effort to rubbish the role of a Member of Parliament are indirectly sabotaging our Constitution. I want to tell my colleagues who are new ... view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: Historically, where I come from, I represented two constituencies: Wajir West and Eldas. When I was first elected as the Member of Parliament for Wajir West, as a young legislator, it was the only constituency in the history of Kenya without a single secondary school. Having been there for more than a decade, I left that constituency with so many secondary schools, primary schools and other institutions, courtesy of NG-CDF. view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: If our Government does a thorough formative and summative investigation on the projects on the ground today, the only ones that are visible are the ones that have been sponsored and implemented by NG-CDF. As a Member of Parliament, you should have no 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
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: apology whatsoever for standing firm with NG-CDF. I also agree with you that we should allow our senators to get Senate Oversight Fund. There are many resources that have been devolved through devolution. Please, let us kill this issue of jurisdiction or competition between the Senate and the National Assembly. view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will be at the forefront in ensuring that our senators get resources to oversee the billions of shillings that are allocated to the county governments. There is also the issue of NGAAF. Our ladies also play a critical role in the development agenda. I want us to think outside the box. Out of a budget of Ksh3 trillion, why not allow 10 to 15 per cent, through those processes, so that the elected leaders also…. view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: Do you want to lower the standards of the development agenda in this country? Do you want to watch other people and remain aloof in the implementation? How will you implement your development agenda? You were elected on a platform. You went to the grassroots. You know that the most difficult job, that is sought after, is to be elected as a Member of Parliament. You have no apologies to make. Let us entrench those funds in the Constitution. The courts should not be involved in legislation. Let their role be that of neutral arbiters in interpreting the law as ... view
