• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, devolution is the spirit that Kenya is going to have now and the lowest that you can devolve is not just the county. Indeed, it should be lower than the county, which is the constituency level. Therefore, this particular Amendment Bill brings the theory or the concept of wanting to move this particular Fund, which is 0.05 per cent of the national revenue, to be implemented through the CDF. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the CDF is today the only tangible development agenda that Kenyans can identify with. It has put up hospitals and schools in all the necessary places. However, as we all know, CDF, which is only 2.5 per cent of the national 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 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: revenue, is a very small amount of money. This particular Fund, which has been set aside to help in the areas of water and health, will be an additional value to CDF. It translates to bringing water services and healthcare to Kenyans at the lowest levels. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: There are a number of schools in my constituency where pupils are still learning under trees, and I have said this before. We need to move fast to put roofs over the heads of those children who are learning in those marginalized areas. Every time there is drought - like what we are seeing now in places like Turkana and Garissa where my constituency is - we have the problem and the challenge of mass suffering of ordinary citizens. Therefore, this particular Fund will go a long way in improving the lives of Kenyans and I very much wish to ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I end, I want to say that, indeed, the 0.05 per cent of revenue collected is actually a very small amount. This Fund needs to be increased actually. That is because even in Nairobi, you will find pockets of areas that are marginalized and that require improvements in order to be brought at parity with the rest of Kenya. Therefore, as a member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, I will take up the task to push for the increasing of this particular amount; meaning that in the subsequent times, we should actually be thinking of ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I end by saying that this is a very good Amendment Bill and I thank hon. Lati very much for this particular very good initiative. My addition to this is: I think that 0.05 per cent of revenue collected at the national level should be increased to 1 per cent. Thank you. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Mbadi is shaking his head, but I want to assure him that I am only exercising in this House the powers given to me by the people of Garissa Township. I do not implement any projects. Implementation is the work of Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and his Government and the governor of Garissa. Mine is to make sure that laws are made; and it is the work of the Judiciary to interpret and declare whether those laws are valid or unconditional. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On the outset, I want to thank hon. Keynan, for being so foresighted that he wants to bring order and sanity to the two levels of the Government, the national Government and the county governments. I draw my powers from Article 95 of the Constitution. So, what I am doing here is not illegal. I have nothing against governors. Chapter 99 of the Laws of Kenya talks about the national flag, emblems and names. This morning I read it; it even defines the “National Anthem”. There is a way you can read the National Anthem and you might be singing ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: deputy presidents like Rift Valley, Central, Western, Nyanza and those whose relative is the President in the United States of America--- view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The best we have produced is the current Speaker of the Senate. The best we have produced close to power is hon. Ekwee Ethuro. There are people who sit here with me; they have produced prime ministers and vice-presidents not once. Western has produced three vice-presidents, Nyanza has produced one of the most able prime ministers and the only one. We thought our president, in terms of devolvement, would be the governor, but what do we see? There is not a single tarmac road. Civilization and tarmac ends in my constituency. view
