• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I am aware from other quarters that there are indications that they may even want to recall us from Recess to come and probably, look at these issues like a Supplementary Budget. It is within their rights. However, we must be firm as a House, that if that CS is to table a Supplementary Budget before this House, we should not consider it until some of the issues that we have addressed in this House like the one Hon. Abdullswamad is raising, that touches the people we represent, are addressed. People out here are suffering. They are being forced to ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise first to congratulate His Excellency the President on his, possibly, last or second last State of the Nation Address. Even as I appreciate many of the things that the President enumerated, there are things that we cannot take away from the President in terms of his gains, especially on infrastructural development. We all appreciate that this has also come at a cost, especially in terms of the public debt that we have laid on the shoulders of the Kenyan people. This infrastructural development was to anchor development that would enable Kenyans to grow ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I cannot fail to mention that many of the things the President enumerated yesterday are things that he was able to do in his first term from 2013 to 2017. Post 2017 is a story for another day, courtesy of what has been christened, 'The Handshake'.

• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: President emphasised the fact of Kshs3.6 billion in a year. A saving of Kshs30 million would only translate to Kshs360 million annually, and not Ksh3.6 billion! Therefore, I want to plead with those who are eager to paint the President in picture that he is not, that as they write his speeches, let them also be reasonable. Let them be considerate not to paint the President in a bad picture like they did yesterday. With that, I want to reiterate that the constitutional moment you are being told was by the political class to benefit the political class. The constitutional ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I really did not want to interrupt Hon. Bunyasi. That is why I was seeking your indulgence before he started. He is a very good Member and a former colleague in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Thank you for your guidance on what was on the Floor. I am sure you saw some of us walk in a few moments ago. That is why you gave us guidance. I am, therefore, seeking your guidance as to whether a Member is at liberty to correct a statement of fact in the Presidents’ Speech. As Members, ... view

• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: My simple question is, for instance, where the President has made a clerical mistake and used statistics that are not correct, are we at liberty, as a House, to correct those statistics? view
