• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First and foremost, I support the appointment of Dr. Jane Kiringai as the Chairperson of the CRA. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and I had an opportunity not only to interact with the members of this Commission but also with the nominee to the position of the Chairperson. As a Committee, none of the candidates either for position of commissioners or Chairperson was disappointing. I have absolutely no doubt about her academic, professional or technical qualifications having grown from a very junior ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: whereas Kakamega may require another 10 years to develop the kind of road network that Kiambu has, they are almost receiving the same kind of allocation. Therefore, moving forward, we would like to see how this Commission will develop critical parameters that would not only promote development at the county level, but also bring about equitable distribution of resources. The thing which this Commission needs to look at is the challenge which most county governments are faced with, and that is spending a lot of their resources on Recurrent Expenditure vis-a-vis Development Expenditure. There is very little to show in ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Member for Mavoko may have been fiddling with the machine and he did not know that he had pressed the intervention button, but we forgive him for that. All the same, as I conclude, we expect to see the face of Kenya when we are appointing or making key appointments to all these commissions so that we give every Kenyan an The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: opportunity. I know highly qualified Kenyans from fairly small communities like the Turkana, Njemps and Marama from Kakamega County who will equally serve this country very well if given such a chance. In future, as we approve such appointments, we want to see diversity. Thank you. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I thank the Mover of the Motion, Hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo for coming up with such a noble idea. It is so imperative that we, as a country, manage and take care of our environment. It is not lost to us that many of our urban centres have been turned into jungles. There are heaps of garbage in towns. There is a lot of uncollected rubbish lying around. This cannot be left to other people. As citizens working together with government and private institutions, we have to ensure that our environment is ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I need to add my voice to this very important Sessional Paper No.12 of 2014 with regard to the conservation of riparian areas. Just like many of my colleagues have alluded, the integrity and the lives of Kenyans and, indeed, the entire mankind, rely on the availability of clean water for existence and support of life. As a country, we are not short of policies and laws that preserve the environment. The problem that we have had over time is the fact that most of the Government agencies that have been created to preserve ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. It is important that we further clarify this clause that we are not talking about two signatories. We are talking about three signatories. These are the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Board plus two other members from the Board. So, in total, they are three. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. We are splitting hairs with regard to this law. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I do not need information. It is very clear that when you look at Clause 17(a), the over-arching reason is violation of the Constitution. Once the Constitution is violated, and particularly with regard to Chapter 6, then any other activity that one might do to that effect comes into force. It, therefore, means that when you qualify a specific activity as engaging in active politics, the challenge then becomes how to qualify that particular activity. What is this particular engagement in politics? view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we also need to look at the best practice, that is, how most chairpersons are usually selected or nominated. As it is right now, this Bill has a lot of checks and balances. Therefore, when you have a committee that in itself decides to choose a chairperson and yet the same Bill gives provisions about how any member of that Committee can be removed--- It does not mean that once a chairperson has been elected he becomes so supreme that he cannot be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
