1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly:
Two, the tradition is that you do not tell us to go and budget based on Kshs136 million. The list, which has the amounts, must be tabled in this House before we go on recess. I want you to direct the Chair to table the Report from the Board and the Cabinet Secretary before Thursday next week, which says, for example, that Garissa Township Constituency will receive Kshs136 million. We can only plan our projects based on a document. He is our Chair and he is very good. Under his leadership, for the first time, the allocation to the NG-CDF ...

Hon. Speaker, Hon. Junet is an expert on fish, I am an expert on camels. There are many Members who are experts. Hon. Ichung’wah is an expert on butcheries. He runs butcheries. His neighbour is in charge of miraa. So, we should not claim to own something. Hon. Aden is an expert of both fish and camel.

1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I want the Chair to clarify whether he is moving the Second Reading or he is raising constitutional matters. This is because if he is moving the Second Reading, I want to stand on a point of order and say that this Bill cannot be discussed until the Speaker makes a ruling. It is unconstitutional for it to originate from the Senate. So, I want the Chair to confirm if he is moving the Second Reading or he is raising constitutional matters. If he is moving, then I think we need you to first listen to us raise ...

1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, we are raising serious constitutional issues. The communication or the ruling of the Speaker becomes part of the precedent of how the Legislature is run. So, we really want you to rule on this matter that has dragged the whole country and we will raise the issues.

1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly:
Yes. In fact, I rise to oppose the Second Reading of the Division of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No. 13 of 2019) on constitutional grounds. Hon. Speaker, we need to stop playing games. The work of this House is not a game of chess or Game of Thrones. It is clearly set out under the Constitution that we must deliberate and resolve issues of concern to the people of Kenya. Article 95(4)(a) of the Constitution requires the National Assembly to make a determination in the allocation of the national revenue between the two levels of Government. Instead, what we are ...

1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly:
So, we are being called enemies of devolution by the governors and citizens of our good country on the basis of unexplained figures. I have said that when the CS for the National Treasury tables his Budget Policy Statement (BPS), it has interim figures on how to guide the whole budget. You cannot wake up one morning and say: “I am giving counties Kshs355 billion.” You know I watch football. In games like football, you see people being awarded cups and medals. In our roles of oversight, representation and legislation, you do not get medals or cups at the end ...

1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly:
of the Republic of Kenya. We have a huge economy. The sum total of the budgets of Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi is US$206 billion. The Budget of this country is US$264 billion. That tells you how huge our country’s economy is. We cannot make Kenyans in the counties to suffer because of the egos of governors, Senators and Members of the National Assembly. You will recall that the proposal in the Bill was met with uproar, including even by Members of this very House, who looked at the reduction in various taxation measures that affected that cake. However, we ...
