• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the PSC is also mentioned here as an institution that will deal with the appointment of the Controller of Budget. I support this amendment but I do not understand why we rejected the previous amendment. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support this Bill and the amendments that were brought, especially on the audit of expenditures in the counties, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) and the national Government. Just like my colleagues have said, there are serious corruption practices when it comes to auditing. We have witnessed situations where when auditors go to the counties or institutions that spend public funds, they do not do the auditing. Instead they collect money. They normally put a figure and failure to provide that amount they write serious statements and accusations ... view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: These penalties are very good. I want to appeal that they must be implemented to help fight corruption. One thing with Parliament is that we pass laws but fail to implement them and take action against people who break them. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The hon. Member is taking such a long time and yet, at the back of the Order Paper, there is a notice showing how many minutes the Leader of the Minority Party or Majority Party can speak. It does not mention the deputies. For the sake of this debate, why can you not give him another three minutes and then we can also get a chance? We want to speak. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to support this Bill. I think it is important to support it because over the years, we have seen violence generated in this country because of elections. In 2007, there was serious violence which locked down our country. Tension was very high. In every election, tension is high and violence can erupt. Good electoral laws may stop this kind of violence. The laws can help people to know what methods they can use in voting. Bad electoral laws also shun people from voting. People lose ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue is about public servants who want to join politics. We have demonised civil servants who want to join politics. By demonising, I mean that those who vie for political seats and lose never get jobs. It is like they have leprosy. The moment you vie for a political seat, most employers shun you. They do not want to see you. We have again put a stumbling block that they should resign one year before the elections. This is discriminatory. We need to allow public servants to go for official leave and when they lose, they get their ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This Petition by my colleague from Samburu West is quite in order. Murramur community land has never belonged to the Army physically. The Army went there temporarily and they were training in Kirisia Forest. They have never put up a single structure there. Since they withdrew from there because there were only tents, the community has occupied the land which belongs to them through their ancestral history. More than 2,000 families live on that parcel of land. They even have schools, cemeteries, many structures, a shopping centre and a dam. The ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to support this Motion because of the following reasons: The Port of Mombasa is a strategic institution and a gateway to our country. All goods that come to our country through the sea come through this port. It is an old port that has served this country very nicely and strongly. Therefore, the expansion of this port is very critical. We should invest more in it. Our neighbours use the same port and we have a lot of competition from Ethiopia, Tanzania and even landlocked countries like ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: in our cities like Nairobi and Mombasa. The population of those who are between the ages of 19 to 35 is huge. Recently, Kenya had hope of having the only pipeline to Uganda pass through here because Uganda had indicated so, but because of competition and the cost of providing that service, they left us and went through Dar es Salaam. If we do not invest to expand our port, we will lose our landlocked neighbours who have been relying on it. We have a lot of investments and exploration of resources in northern Kenya. If you go to North ... view
