• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Given what the Chair of the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources has said, the Bill that she has before her needs a lot of attention to finalize. For us to produce quality Bills in this House, we have to go the full stretch of the time and allow 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
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: maximum participation. We need to get contributions from all the stakeholders. I agree with hon. Mbadi that, indeed, matters of devolution attract more serious attention. When I say this, I look at how, for example, the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) money is used. In particular, I am incensed by the way it is used in my constituency. There seems to be no responsibility at all. The Member of Parliament is not involved in KURA’s activities unlike in KERRA. We also find county government rudderless. You also find KURA a bull in a China shop. They do things as they ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I appreciate your intervention. I just wanted to put things into perspective. I went that long route but the short and long of my argument is that the publication period of the Bills should not be reduced. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I was waiting to contribute to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that is supposed to tidy up statutes that may not be that tidy. If you look at the University Act which is what I will start with, you will find that the amendments in that Act are very simple. You have substitution of the words “core course and programmes”. Earlier on, universities would be given charters on the basis of offering core courses. Those who have been to university will agree with me that you cannot have ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: competitive process. The Deputy Vice-Chancellors who play a very important role are excluded. Therefore, I propose to bring amendments to that particular section so that Deputy Vice-Chancellors are also included and subjected to a competitive process. Definitely, it will not be the right thing to exclude them. In so doing, we will move an amendment to delete Section 70(2) which also provides for the procedures of appointment of Deputy Vice-Chancellors. In the amendments to Section 38, it proposes that the functions of Vice- Chancellors shall be taken over by Chairmen of Councils where the Vice-Chancellor is not able to do ... view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Ningependa kuchangia Hoja hii ya kuwapa Wabunge likizo ya muda, ili tuweze kwenda mashinani na tuweze kuwa na wenzetu kule. La muhimu zaidi ni kuhusu fedha za CDF ambazo, kwa hakika, mahali pake sio kwenye benki, bali zinafaa zitolewe. Tayari tumeshapata zile fedha. Ziweze kutolewa na kuwafikia wananchi. Miradi yote kule ambayo imepewa pesa, ni wakati wa kwenda kutoa zile hundi za pesa, ili miradi yote ambayo iko kule iweze kuendelea barabara. Vile vile, ningependa kusema kwamba wakati huu ambao tunaenda likizoni, tumepitisha Ripoti ya kuwa na halmashauri za kusimamia maendeleo katika kaunti. ... view

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support the amendment to that particular Bill. When I do so, again, it is from a point of information and knowledge. That is because when we go back to our areas of representation, we must all agree that the level of service delivery at the local level is not up to scratch. I have an experience where, through CDF, we have built a maternity wing in a particular health centre. In spite of CDF spending so much money to put up such infrastructure, no personnel has been assigned duty to that particular place ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: governments, at the moment, may not be ready to take over that responsibility. It is for that particular reason that I will support this Motion. I think the National Government is better placed to run those institutions. It can work hand-in-hand with the county government to make sure that health services - which are very important - are actually delivered properly to all the people of Kenya. I support. view
