  • 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Those centres of excellence need to be completed so that they can be used. A lot of money was used on them. Therefore, there is need to complete them urgently. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I have sat here for many hours waiting. So, let me take this opportunity by talking for two minutes. I support and I thank my very able Chair for compiling this report; I would like to talk about food security. Food security in this country right now is in dire need and we need to do something about it, especially now that it is raining. We need to harvest rain water, so that we can irrigate one million acres as the Jubilee Government pledged in its manifesto. It is high time we started ... view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have seen that the rainy season has started and our roads have become impassable; we need this money as quickly as possible, so that our roads can be fixed and maintained properly. view
  • 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we also know that the Jubilee Government is very digital and we need to make sure that many households have electricity to transact their business. We now have the Uwezo Fund. However, without electricity in the rural areas our youth there cannot utilise this Uwezo Fund. If electricity is provided in rural areas, young men and women will be able to carry out their businesses like welding or run ladies’ salons. They can do all these if electricity is provided. view

Deputy Speaker, I also would like to recommend that polytechnics and other training institutions be removed from the Ministry of Devolution and Planning to the Ministry of Education.

  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to say that we are here because the people Kenya chose us to be here and they know the mandate and work they gave us. They also know that we represent them and we oversee all the institutions. view

  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: money. If we can be told that we cannot play our oversight role on that money that went to the counties, then we have no work here. This is because we are here to make sure that the money that we passed in this Parliament; both at the National Assembly and the Senate is utilized in the right manner. view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: We have heard that the governors have opened private accounts outside and inside this country. We also know that when we used to have local governments, at least, we had mechanisms and structures of collecting levies and revenue. Even as we speak here, we do not know how much money these counties collect and where this money goes. That is apart from the Kshs210 billion that we gave them last year and yet they are saying that nobody should question them. This is the case and yet we know that as the National Assembly, we have the CDF money. When ... view
  • 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: To be told that we, either the National Assembly or the Senate, are not supposed to summon governors to come and answer a few questions here and there is unfair.
