10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
If you allow me, I am coming to it. If you allow me I will tell hon. Pukose that after the leadership retreat, rules have become very strict. We cannot go to Homa Bay, Garissa, Isiolo, Kiambu Makueni, and Bondo to talk to people and then come back and-- - Parliament cannot act in vain. It is not a public relations exercise. If, for example, in northern Kenya, tarmac ends in my constituency, if they go to Wajir and the people there say that they have never seen tarmac, and this House feels that they can be given 20 kilometres--- ...

If hon. Jakoyo allows me, that is public participation; if the Ksh3billion we are being told about is going to particular Members of a committee of this House, then that is unconstitutional. This can be verified through the Appropriations Bill and the estimates.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I might not have been in the Chamber, but there is a radio and television in my office. I listened to what the Speaker said. He said that the question whether the Ksh3billion will be for public participation or for the Budget and Appropriations Committee Members will be known when the estimates and the Appropriation Bill appear before the House. That is what I read in the ruling. I am a B- (minus) student; so, I can do better.

10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
So, hon. Deputy Speaker, what we are dealing with is a Budget Policy Statement. Figures and the votes will be known in the Appropriation Bill and estimates. I am sure in the element of public participation even for---Let me even speak for the devil. Let me become very selfish. If through the public participation, the Committee finds that hon. Mutava Musyimi’s people require Ksh300billion, so be it. Last night, I watched clips of Kindaruma Dam, which is located in his constituency, yet children are in a black out. However, let me go out of this controversial thing. Hon. Deputy Speaker, ...

10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
My 15 minutes? There is another allocation of Ksh2billion to CDF. Every year, we must increase CDF, so that it touches the heart of everybody. There is additional Ksh750 million for East African Community (EAC). You have seen today the conflict between the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chairman. I looked at the Act that provides that the Chairman is in charge of policy. If the commissioners want to sack somebody, they will direct the CEO to write the letter and sign it. So, as we give Ksh750million to the EAC, and ksh750 for the Auditor-General to open county ...

With those many remarks, I had more points but---The Senators have been allocated Ksh1billion, and this is good. They need money to go round their counties and let us not be very selfish. Let everybody have his peace.

10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. As you have rightfully said, what is before us is the Committee’s Report on the Budget Policy Statement. Quite a number of hon. Members, including my good friend, hon. Midiwo, need to take time to understand the Budget making process. It is a journey that starts with our consideration of the Budget Policy Statement through to our passage of the Appropriations Bill. This particular Budget Policy Statement addresses a number of very important issues. It sheds light on the five key pillars that are being targeted in the coming financial year, in order to ensure ...
