• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I believe the standard is “a university recognised in Kenya”. The manner of recognition of the universities is provided within the Universities Act. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.95. Yes, there has been quite some interest in this debate although the Motion is just for noting the Report of the departmental committee. Listening to the debate, you notice that we veered off from the Report to a general discussion. Perhaps it might be a good point to ask the Mover to respond. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I support the amendment, but for neatness sake, I notice that in the Order Paper, there are three amendments: (a), (b) and (c). The substitution relates only to (a). So, perhaps for clarity, can we dispose of (a), then move to (b) and (c) separately? view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: That is what I wanted for the record that in fact (a) is substituted and (b) and (c) remain as per the Order Paper. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee and congratulate them for working overtime to get this matter sorted out within the limited time that they had. Because I do not have much time, I just want to lay down some basic principles that can help Members to appreciate where we are.

• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: The first thing is that a budget is only a projection. Until you get the money, it is purely paper. What we had was an overly exaggerated budget that could not match the revenues that were required to finance it. Having realised that, the natural thing is that you then have to go back and work on your expenditure because that is what you have control over. We actually do not have control over revenues; anything could happen. The fundamentals could change; the environment could change and the global economies could change. Hence, if we are not conservative on our ... view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: So, the austerity measures cannot be put in a way that impedes even the work of this Parliament. I am happy that even the Judiciary has been given more money so that the institutions can complement one another. So, I urge this House that what we basically have before us is a schedule of our best projections at this moment. Those things could change and if it changes for the better, the money will increase and the NG-CDF will be enhanced and more money will go to schools and it is this same Committee that we have given this responsibility. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: If on the other hand we stick to what we already have and we tell the people that we are budgeting on Kshs117 million per constituency, revenue is not realised and you have given contracts to people to do schools, you will end up with no Exchequer releases and pending bills will be accumulating. So, I would rather be very conservative in terms of where we start our planning and should the money increase, obviously, we will come back here and ask for more.
