• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Without delving much into details, I just want to give you one assurance. The other information will be given through our Kamukunji, our informal way of communication. But I can tell you we have taken care of the interests of each Member, whether you are in the Senate or the National Assembly. The details will be given through our informal channel of communication which you all understand. I beg you leave it here. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. With due respect to the Leader of the Majority Party, you elected other Commissioners and I to deal with empirical facts. Let us not politicise our own welfare. This has been sorted out and the Chair, Budget and Appropriations Committee is a witness. It has been dealt with conclusively not unless we want to play politics. Please, let us leave it at that. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Two minutes may not be enough but let me attempt and see what I can say. This is a very important Bill because in the past division of revenue used to be an exclusive function of the Executive. Currently, because of the Constitution it is an exclusive function of parliamentarians. Under the able leadership of Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, I believe - it is a reality we have a bicameral system - we should do The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: whatever it takes to avoid some of the jurisdictional conflicts we have witnessed in particular between this House and the Senate. It is not in the interest of taxpayers, it is not in the interest of Members of Parliament and it is not in the interest of anybody. It only serves the interests of the corrupt and other cartels out there. Therefore, I appeal to the Chairman and other Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee that we do not want to hear this Bill being subjected to a mediation process because that does not serve anybody’s interests. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: There are certain issues that we must take into account. A lot of resources have been devolved. Are they being overseen properly by Public Accounts Committee of the Senate, Public Accounts Committee and Public Investments Committee of the National Assembly and other relevant Committees? view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: On the Equalisation Fund, as a colleague has alluded, it was born as a result of the current Constitution which is a negotiated document. It is a Constitution of interests. There are some who wanted pure devolution and got it; some wanted a hybrid presidential system and got it; some wanted the Equalisation Fund and got it too. The only thing we are asking Members of this Committee is to move with speed and ensure that all funds allocated to this Fund from August, 2010 are released to the counties meant to be covered under this programme. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Because of the limited time and the Chairman of Budget and Appropriations Committee is somewhere, let me add something on the issue of the national resource basket. What brings us together and defines us as a sovereign state is simply we have shared national deal including how resources are allocated. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues in congratulating His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta and Right Hon. Raila Odinga for thinking out of the box. The late Hon. Saitoti once said that there comes a time when the nation is more important than any other interest. This is exactly what His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and Right Hon. Raila Odinga have done. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: It is wrong and demeaning to call Hon. Raila Odinga and His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta two individuals. They represent institutions. Actually, they are institutions. Therefore, one needs to define them as such. Some of us have been in politics since the advent of the second phase of multi-party politics in Kenya. One needs to read the book Raila Odinga: An enigma of Kenyanpolitics to understand Raila Odinga and appreciate what he stands for. view
