• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I can see my time is gone. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Motion of Adjournment. I am always overly excited when we adjourn the House when young children, like mine, are going back to school. This is because I will have the opportunity, as usual, to drop them at school and pick them up in the evening, and, probably, spend some time doing a little homework with them. Therefore, I am very excited that we are adjourning the House when schools are about to open. Two, because, as many Members have said, we will have time in the constituencies to concentrate on our oversight role ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: are asking for a referendum to run away from accountability. Accountability will not and can never be a choice for them to make. They must be accountable to the people of Kenya. I am sure the hon. Ababu Namwamba and his committee will be tabling reports of the last few year’s accounts. We will sit in that committee and agree to allocate more money to the counties, but they must, as a matter of necessity, be accountable to the people of Kenya. Hon. Speaker, we want to devolve resources not to Governors’ pockets, but for delivery of services to the ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I find the hon. Member for Homa Bay to be alluding that the hon. Member for Gatundu South was selected and not elected by the people of Gatundu South preposterous. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is no Member of this House except nominated Members of Parliament who are selected. Every other Member who is here by virtue of representing a constituency is an elected Member of Parliament. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill, but, of course, with all reservations because of the changes that were made by the other House. I also want to be quick to point out that nobody in this House or even the Senate has any ill-feelings against our very good governors. We were all elected by Kenyans in order to deliver services to them. With regard to what the Member of Parliament for Homa Bay County had said that Members are demonizing governors, I want to be clear that none of us is demonizing any governor. All that Senate and ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I definitely wish to withdraw the word “lying”. Hon. Members may not be lying in this House but when they are speaking to people in funerals, they may not necessarily be telling our people the truth. They may be propagating a falsehood that the Jubilee Government is not giving the 43 per cent. I want to challenge the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)-- - The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for your protection. It is a fact and we know it in this House that if only the Chairman of the PAC had tabled the audited accounts for the year 2012/2013, this House would have debated, adopted them and next year, maybe, we can base the 43 per cent or 45 per cent or even 60 per cent. They are forgetting that it is only the Jubilee Manifesto that spoke of not less than 40 per cent of funds going to counties. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the protection because it is true that hon. Ababu had raised that issue and I heard that point as I drove from Kikuyu on the question of the Hustler’s Jet, but not on the audited accounts. I wish to challenge hon. Ababu and the CORD Coalition which are the majority in that PAC to table and have those reports debated so that we may tell Kenyans the truth and give the 45 per cent. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand guided by your wisdom. Of course, I have a lot of respect for the very good Members who sit in that Committee because I also sit in a similar oversight Committee, the Public Investments Committee (PIC). I know the kind of work that hon. Members put in. However, I was only saying that it is important that these reports be tabled and debated so that we base the 40 per cent or 60 per cent of what we are giving to the county governments on the most recent audited accounts. The electronic version of ... view
