• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Members are consulting very loudly. I want to be given an opportunity to make my presentation. What I am trying to say is this: Positive change is something that we require. The current Constitution provides that we have the Kenyan defence forces, unlike previously. Therefore, it means that we want to strengthen the different units of our armed forces so that we have the best navy, air force and army in the world. For us to do that, and for the Ministry to continue attracting public finance, it is fair that this Act that we have ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, my one cardinal stand is to ensure that the CDF remains in our statutes regardless of whatever name we call it. That is the key component of our statutes that has contributed to development and brought us at par with other Kenyans. So, it must be protected constitutionally and legally. I believe and it is my prayer that the hon. Members of the Tenth Parliament will rise up and ensure that those who are saying that the counties are going to provide this or that--- It says that the counties will get a minimum of 15 ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: philosophy which was abused. We have had forced contributions and skewed development in national allocations. Has that worked in Kenya? Has it given us more infrastructure, educational institutions or anything? If anything, that has bred impunity that must end. It is this Parliament that has endeared itself to the Kenyan public and it has the honour and trust to ensure that the reforms that we are trying to prescribe for another institution, we should do the same to ourselves here without fear of contradiction. This proposal is in line with every aspect that is contained in the document and with ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, therefore, my humble plea is that if we are not comfortable with one issue, I plead with my brothers that this proposal should not poison their minds, but they should see it as positive change and a reality. Even if we do not do it today, I am sure somebody will go to court, get an interpretation and this will be the interpretation. I want to be told how allocating single sums of money to the Kenya Navy, Kenya Army or the Kenya Air Force prejudices our national interests. Do we need an interpretation of what ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to say I am here as a member of KANU and our National Chairman is one; Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. Is it, therefore, in order for my good friend, hon. Mbadi, to insinuate that Uhuru is not the substantive Chairman when I know that he is, indeed, our substantive Chairman? view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to know how the waiver of school fees is going to be implemented. Secondly, taking into account that certain parts of this country are still affected by serious drought, why has the Government been reluctant to declare the drought situation a national disaster? The Prime Minister came to my constituency on 14th February, 2011 and in his interaction with the public, made a number of promises. I wish to recall that of all the promises and announcements made by the Prime Minister on that particular public occasion, none has been implemented. What assurance ... view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I asked three questions on three issues--- view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With due respect to the Prime Minister, is he in order--- We know that this Government is very good on policy issue and documentation but very poor on implementation. For example, the Prime Minister, who is the second senior person in the Government--- view
