• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. This is an important Bill as it deals with Division of Revenue. From the outset, I am supporting with some few comments. Be it the national Government or county government, at the end of the day, what we need is service to common people. They want food on the table, water, electricity, medicine and many others. When we are talking about revenue we should emphasize county and national Governments. We should see how county governments and the national Government are spending money. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: What is happening at the moment in county governments is that most county assemblies do not have the capacity to play oversight role. I am applauding this Revenue Bill because it has included money for Senators to enable them to oversee our counties. I have seen conditional grants. It is good enough but it could have been better if they included more especially in areas where basic needs are required like water. At the moment, there is this programme going on with the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum where the World Bank is partnering with Kenya Power (KP). The Government ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Our statistics show that out of 5,000 schools only 300 have title deeds. An issue that has been pertinent for a while now should be finalised. All schools should be given title deeds to avoid the problems arising at the moment. We have an increase in population but we should not forget that wild animals contribute to tourism. If we forget wildlife, in 30 years, some of the animals will be extinct. We should look for money to solve this problem. What I wanted to say has been covered by my colleagues. I, therefore, support the Division of Revenue Bill. ... view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is okay. I have withdrawn. We can move on because they are the same. It is already done in sub-clause (1) and they are the same. Let us adopt what you have done in sub-clause (1) . view

• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Shukrani Mheshimiwa Naibu Spika wa Muda. Nasimama kuunga mkono Mswada huu. Ukiangalia hiki kikundi cha watu, ni kama asilimia 15. Ni kama watu zaidi ya milioni sita. Ni kikundi ambacho kimepuuzwa - si kwa mahospitali, benki, shule na makanisa. Naomba Kamati Tekelezi, baada ya huu Msada kuwa sheria, watekeleze. Wahakikishe kuwa imetekelezwa na hicho kikundi cha walemavu, angalau, kimesaidika ili wajione wako sawa na Wakenya wote kwa ujumla. Nasimama kuunga huu Msada. Ahsante sana. view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. As one of the members of the Mediation Committee, for sure the mediation process was good. The team worked very hard. On the prospecting rights, in the original Bill, somebody could just do prospecting on a land without getting consent from the land owner. But after the mediation process, the team agreed that whoever is going to prospect for minerals on somebody else’s land must get consent from the land owner, which is a win-win situation for both the land owner and the prospector. On the rejection of a licence, it was the ... view
• 10 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. Land issues are very sensitive to Kenyans. If you talk about land, you are talking to the hearts of Kenyans. The amendments to land laws are reverting back powers which were given to the NLC by the Constitution to the CS. This is against the Constitution. This Bill deletes the County Land Boards. Therefore, dispute resolution mechanisms created through the NLC seem to be deleted and this contravenes the Constitution. All crucial functions, including adjudication, consolidation, registration and record-keeping will be reverted back to the CS, and yet in the Constitution, they ... view
