• 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.

• 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
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly, I want to speak about the question of county development boards. I wish to congratulate Hon. (Ms.) Nyasuna for what she has said on the question of county development boards: That our good governors should have no fear. The other thing that has been propagated out there is that the county development board is coming and is giving Senators certain executive powers over the governors. It is important for Kenyans to know that this is far from the truth. What the county development boards are seeking to do is to simply create a forum where we can coordinate development ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to strongly support this amendment by hon. Linturi. It is important for us to note that this amendment is being restricted to people with Executive authority and Executive powers within an organization, even those serving in Government positions. It is very important because those who hold Executive authority, if you allow them to continue serving in the position that they are serving after being charged over economic crimes, they will continue with the same stealing that they are being charged with. A thief, I must say will always remain a thief and ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I take great exception to that because I have no intention of being a lawyer. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I really have no intention of being a lawyer. I have never had such intentions in my life. I am a very good accountant; one of the best accountants in this Republic. It is in the interest of serving our very good country that I wish to move this amendment.
