• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank hon. Mbadi. If he goes to Thika, he is a hero because the cost of animal feeds was very high. Kenyans are buying eggs from Uganda because they cannot afford the local eggs because they are very expensive. They prefer to get eggs from Uganda. If the cost of animal feed goes down, then it means that we will be able to market our eggs locally. All of us from Kiambu - and the rest of the Members are not here - can attest to the fact that animal feeds ... view

• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I contributed to the earlier Motion, and I will still contribute to this Bill. I rise to support the amendment Bill. Once people diversify, we will spread out risks. When we borrow here and put all our money in the same basket, and anything goes wrong, it will mean that we will lose. But if we diversify and borrow from different external institutions, it will mean that we will spread risks; if the deal is good, we will win, but when the deal is bad, we will share the loss with others. ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and as I do so, I would like it to be quoted very clearly. I would like to request and urge the relevant governors who will be in charge of this Fund to take clear responsibility on it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very painful because we are giving the county governments a lot of money and yet, it is not well utilised. I hope this honourable House will agree with me that the funds we have allocated to the county governments, if they are well utilized, ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: people or telling them to take pay cuts. There is a lot of money that is being wasted. The kinds of taxes that Kenyans are paying are very high. If the Government wants to stamp out and reduce corruption which is very rampant, it should give the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) power to investigate, arrest and prosecute the suspects. Otherwise, we shall be playing and going round and round in circles. I remember in the Tenth Parliament, I raised the issue that EACC should be given power and mandate but, as we speak now, all it is doing ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I wind up, I would also like the Government to look at its records. The people called “ghost workers” are in the Government. Why are you going to retrench those hardworking civil servants instead of getting rid of those “ghost workers”? With those few remarks, I beg to support. view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very naive and painful because we are giving the county governments a lot of money and yet, it is not well utilised. I hope this honourable House will agree with me that the funds we have allocated to the county governments, if they are well utilized, can develop the entire nation. But you find that, instead of it being put into development projects, much of it goes to recurrent expenditure and extravagant travels. We need to have a proper scrutiny of how those funds are utilised. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not see ... view

• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of information, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to respond to my colleague who said that we now have 290 constituencies while previously we had 210 constituencies. When we set aside this money, it was for completing all the centres of excellence that had stalled in the 210 constituencies. As a Committee, we felt it is good we first complete them then in future if another project is rolled out, then it can cover all the 290 constituencies. This is not a matter of competition, but a matter of urgency. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
