• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the proposed allocation under the Programme in respect of Development Estimates, the figure Kshs121,685,380,000 be deleted and substituted thereof with Kshs115,985,380,000. I beg for the Members’ attention before we can make a decision on this. We had allocated Kshs112 billion to the Roads and Transport Department for infrastructure development. However, for those of us who were in the House during debate on our Report, on our own Motion as the Budget and Appropriations Committee, having listened to Kenyans across the country in 12 counties during the public hearings, it emerged that ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: After listening to submissions from departmental committees, we sought to raise an additional Kshs8.7 billion to cater for roads so that emergency repair of roads that were dilapidated by the recent floods can be done. However, Hon. Members, the Kshs8.7 billion is only a drop in the ocean vis-a-vis what is needed in the sector. Therefore, what has the Government done? What is important for us to know, even as we make a decision, is what kind of a decision we should make and where we are going, moving forward. There are many people who require the roads that have ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I need your protection from Hon. Keter because he will have an opportunity to articulate issues and be heard by Kenyans even in Nandi Hills other than shout from behind. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was saying that for those who listened to what His Excellency the President said yesterday in Quebec, Canada, it is not lost on the Government that the resources required to put back our infrastructure to where it ought to be will be more than Kshs18 billion. Some of the areas we had targeted to raise money from was the NYS. This House is justified in cutting money allocated to the NYS and reallocate it to more pressing priorities like our road infrastructure. That is without doubt. We sought to reduce the NYS budget by Kshs5.7 ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am saying that because we have had extensive consultations, long hours into the night, on this issue. Had we reduced it by Kshs2.5 billion, we would effectively have had nothing for our roads infrastructure. Therefore, you will see when we get to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, that there has been a revision. The reason, which is very simple, is that the NYS is where we are borrowing about Kshs5.7 billion plus an additional Kshs2.5 billion. As Budget and Appropriations Committee, we ignored what the National Treasury had done. We took the Kshs5.7 plus the Kshs2.5 ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Let me finish. We have 30 minutes. I would beg that we listen. If we were to get Kshs8.25 billion, it would effectively mean that we shut down the NYS and chase home those innocent children who have nothing to do with the issues that happened at the NYS. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: What is the intention of this amendment? It is certain that we are taking away money. I was drawing your attention to what His Excellency the President said yesterday. He said that he has commitments based on the discussions we had with the National Treasury and the ministries involved, namely, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. His Excellency the President has commitments. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Minority Party, I will beg for your indulgence. Shouting will not help. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I was saying that the commitments that the President was speaking about from Quebec are the agreements that they have entered with donors like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). We need, just like we did after the El Nino rains, to raise money from the donor community to deal with the problem of roads infrastructure completely. We have been requested to allocate a Kshs3 billion fund which will act as our capital contribution towards the raising of close to Kshs40 billion that will go towards the repair and completion of the many ... view
