6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Drawing from Article 218(1)(b), the Senate has been given the powers. That is why today, for the first time, we are seeing the Senate Bill No.1. This is the first Bill the Senate has done since its inauguration. If you look at Article 217(1) of the Constitution, it says that:- 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.

6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. As I do so, I want to re-emphasize what my colleagues have said. Indeed, this honourable House or the National Assembly has never been and will never be fighting devolution at any time. We will stand to support devolution. Looking at the speed at which this particular Bill has gone through, being a Member of the Budget Committee, having the shortest time possible to scrutinize such an important Bill, bringing it to the Floor of the House as our Chair very ably seconded with the few concerns ...

We are saying that the Senate needs to understand its role. When it has done its work ably like the Bill it has done now, though with very limited time in terms of the delay or the time it took to bring it, we want to say that we will stand with the Senate when it is doing its work. What is left now is good governance. It is one thing to have Kshs5 or Kshs6 billion in the accounts of those governors, the biggest challenge that Kenya should be very worried about is how this money will be managed. ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I concur with the hon. Member who stood before me and said that if you look at the budgets of many of our county governors, you will read signs of mischief. You will also read signs of misplaced priorities when Kenyans want water and hospitals; when Kenyans are crying for medicines in the shelves of the hospitals but you buy sniffer dogs and chase cars. What are the sniffer dogs and chase cars for? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ...

We are seeing governors putting around themselves cronies or people close to them, sometimes with the lowest of competence. I want to say that all these are indications of things going in the wrong direction. All these are indications of a plan that appears not to be in a very focused mind to manage these monies properly.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to congratulate the new Chairman of KACA because we have one now. I want to tell him that he has a lot of work. Previously, although not a Member of this House, I used to see KACA chase hon. Members of Parliament who, indeed, through the CDF have done Kenyans the best of the developments that can tangibly be seen today in our rural constituencies. These developments include hospitals, schools and water points that are today the lifeline of many Kenyans out there. However, I have seen in the past KACA look for ...

6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly:
Going by the very statistics that is talked about every now and then, 30 per cent of the monies used is usually lost through corruption. If that is anything to go by and looking at the Kshs210 billion that has been appropriated today, we are saying that Kshs63 billion is at a threat of being misappropriated. I want to be the first to blow the whistle today and tell KACA that they already have a lot of work on their plate and they should start to look at the structures of the county governments as they form now. Indeed, they ...
