• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in congratulating Kenya as a country and His Excellency the President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you for reminding us. I have no doubt that this is a tough task. Other African countries have entrusted this position to Kenya. They say delegation is trust. We have been entrusted with this position. Definitely, we are expected to ensure that we do not only serve Kenya as a country but, rather, the entire Africa such that Africa will be proud of Kenya. The fact that during the AU elections Kenya received 37 votes against 13 votes is testament of the strong confidence that other African countries have in Kenya. It is, therefore, up to us to ensure ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: terror-related issues. Of course now, schools all over the country have been closed due to COVID- 19. It will be up to us to ensure that proper policies are put in place to ensure that issues related to counter-terrorism are well handled. The functions of the Security Council are well enumerated in the UN Charter. One of them is ensuring that there is proper… view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I just want to say that delegation is by trust. When a party delegates a certain position to you, then the expectation is that you deliver to the expectation of the party. The fact that you betray trust, then the party must be in a position to act. Secondly, political parties are expected to… For example, if the Government of the day fails, the minority political party is expected to fit in the shoes of the Government. So, the political party must show a good example to the country. It must show a good example to the ... view

• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a very strong concern in this area. As you are well aware, water is a scarce commodity in the northern part of Kenya where access to it by both humans and livestock is a difficult process. I am aware of schools that have been closed down as a result of lack of water. However, the most unfortunate thing is that there are cases where allocation is made - especially in my constituency - and a water pan is allocated… The most unfortunate thing is that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) sits in his office and ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: pan of which public participation has already been done… As you are aware, public participation is enshrined in the Constitution under Articles 10, 118, 124, 201, 221 and 232… The views and resolutions of the people have been ignored. A pan that was well meant for Gurar has been transferred to Resoteno. This is very unfortunate and if we continue with this top- down approach, then project identification, project implementation and ownership will be absent and high levels of conflict will be realised. It is high time that this House got out of its way to ensure that proper oversight ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Report. That said, I also want to echo the sentiments of my colleagues that it is important for us to have fair distribution of the Budget to Kenyans, so that we can have equality. The issue of equality and equity is very important in terms of distribution of resources because we all share the tax burden as Kenyans. That is why it is also necessary to share the resources equitably. Hon. Speaker, the key thing that we are depending on in this budgetary allocation is a needs-based approach as well ... view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for avoidance of doubt, I am not Hon. Abdullswamad Nassir and I can choose the language to speak. So, for that matter I think there is no part in the Standing Orders that says that when the Mover speaks in English, then… view
• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second this Motion. view
