30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said this is an important day and we want to form an important organ of Parliament dealing with the implementation of the Constitution. This Constitution is very clear on internal democracy and the integrity of the leadership of this country. It is very sad today that political party politics have been drawn into the Floor of the House. I agree with Mr. Wetangula that if political parties will not consult, then there are more other issues that we need to bridge the gap on party politics. These are issues like the reforms in the police and ...

With those few remarks, I want this House to take the indulgence and give the Kenyan people a better representation. There should be consultations. I think the consultations should be spearheaded by the Prime Minister and the President.

1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. At the onset, the Muslim Community needs this break because we are approaching a very important holy day, the Idd-Ul-Fitri. I want the Members of this House to go back home and celebrate with their Muslim voters back at home. Secondly, this break will also give those of us who are in leadership in political parties time to go and campaign for our respective candidates in the by-elections that are due, namely, in Juja, Makadara, Starehe and Wajir South. Finally, it is also time to give a break to the ...

that they are involved in. Of late, we have been seeing reports that are not credible in this House. I am sure that if the Members get time, they will go and do a soul searching. With those few remarks, I support.

26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support Vote 12 of the Office of the Deputy Prime and Ministry of Local Government. I also want to thank Mr. Mudavadi, the Permanent Secretary, the Assistant Minister and his team for doing a good job. The Ministry of Local Government is key and under the new constitutional dispensation, it has a lot of work to do. It is mandated with re-organizing the devolved system of government that this new Constitution has put in place. At the same time, it is this Ministry that has the grassroot system in this country. We are ...

26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly:
My constituency Garissa, has the oldest municipal council in that region. In 2006, an integrated strategic planning was done for a number of municipalities, Garissa Municipal Council included. There were six of them. Under those pilot municipalities, physical and strategic planning was to be done for six municipalities. That programme was launched in 2006 and Kshs50 million was earmarked for that process. A company was contracted to do that in 2006/2007. To date, what that contracted company has done on the ground is just to conduct interviews with the staff of Garissa Municipal Council. They carried out one stakeholders meeting ...

26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot talk of a new constitutional dispensation when we have rot in our councils and Government departments, and when the little amount of money that the Minister for Finance sends to the Ministry of Local Government in form of the LATF, does not reach the beneficiaries on the ground. Today if you walk around this country, you will find dispensaries and schools built using CDF funds. Why are we not seeing the money that is sent to councils? Today, the City Council of Nairobi receives billions. With those issues I have raised, I beg to ...

26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I support this Motion, it is a sad day for the people of northern Kenya. We must say it here, that even after speaking to the President--- Out of the 20 kilometres that were ordered tarmacked by President Kibaki after he came to power in 2003 only 10 kilometres have been done. The Prime Minister visited it, a report was given but until today nobody is telling us why to tarmac one kilometre in Garissa is costing Kshs74.5 million. The Minister himself has, for the first time, named all the provinces in this country ...
