• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Members will observe that the sittings of this Session are divided into three parts, each of which is interspaced with recess periods. The dates stipulated therein have been structured along various activities in the current calendar year of the National Assembly. There are some short recess periods of about 10 days in each of the Session that are intended to allow hon. Members, especially those with young families like me – I have a four-year old baby – to spend time with their families, and especially their children during the school holidays. I am sure that hon. Chris Wamalwa ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The long recess periods, comprising of 25 days or more, will enable hon. Members to spend more time with the various Committees so that they can scrutinise Bills or financial documents in order for them to adhere to both the Constitution and statutory deadlines. For instance, during the long break of 1st May to 2nd June 2014, hon. Members, through their respective Departmental Commitees will be able to exhaustively scrutinise the Budget Estimates for the coming financial year. The Estimates will be laid on the Table of the House by 30th April, 2014. The House will resume in early June ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The second part of this Session, according to the calendar, will involve the passage of the Appropriation Bill or the Vote on Account by 26th June, 2014. During this period also we expect to pass the eight Constitutional Bills, which have a deadline of 27th August, 2014. Finally, the most important is the Finance Bill, by 27th September, 2014. The breaks in between will allow the committees to thoroughly review the Bills before debate and conclusion of the same. At this juncture, I request the Chairperson of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) to engage early enough with the Commission ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this morning I want to speak as the Member for Garissa Township and a pastoralist. If I do not contribute to this Bill brought by hon. Lelelit, then I will be doing a lot of injustice to the people of northern Kenya and marginalized groups. From the outset - I do not want to be controversial - I want my colleagues to see that I am not controversial; I want to state the following facts, that in 50 years of Independence, we pastoralists have not produced a president, a deputy president or a prime minister. It ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Devolution was meant for the marginalised parts of this country. I want to confirm from the Floor of this House that the governors we have elected in Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana, Samburu, Pokot and in some parts of the coastal region have become enemies of the people of those regions. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the 2013/2014 Budget period is coming to an end but if you visit those areas, you will not see any sign of devolved funds. I am not saying this just for the sake of it. The first object and function of the devolved governments ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Three successive regimes made us suffer. The leadership of those regimes made sure that we did not have roads, water and electricity. We want the Eleventh Parliament to make a difference. We want you to stand with us. Civilization in the northern Kenya region ends in my constituency – Garissa Town. It is the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta that has decided to do 140 kilometres, from Garissa to a place called “Modogashe” in hon. Shidiye’s constituency. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we, the people of the northern Kenya region did not choose to be pastoralists. I did not choose. I ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Ukambani produced a vice- president, even though he is no longer on the job. He was a Minister for 30 years. If he is not on the job, that is a different thing. I would like the Leader of Minority Party to allow me to use my time. He will contribute when his time comes. I am only stating a fact. They had Cabinet Ministers for 30 years and a vice-president. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not want to lose track. This is a very important Private Members’ Bill. I know that hon. Mbadi’s constituency and county may have been marginalised, but I am sure that the man who taught me politics – former Prime Minister Raila Odinga – at least did his bit for the Nyanza region when he was in office. I can bring evidence to prove that point. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Before I go to the Report of the Chair, I think I need to highlight what the Supplementary Budget that came from the National Treasury was before, because the Chair has just given the views of the various Committees and the recommendation, which I support. This House approved the national Budget in July 2013 - a Budget of Kshs1.65 trillion. That amount included Recurrent, Development, Consolidated, Contingency, County Allocation and Civil Servants Contributory Pension Fund. That total was coming to Kshs1.65 trillion. Hon. Speaker, on the cumulative basis, the revenue performance as of December 2013 from ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: excess of Kshs121.8 billion. That is what is reflected in the Supplementary books that are before this House. That is both Recurrent and Development Expenditure. The salary- related expenditure was Kshs16 billion, while the operational and maintenance expenditure was Kshs12.7 billion. The on-going and new projects expenditure was Kshs93.1 billion. view
