• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Petition because that area is very familiar to me. Having worked in that area, I know that we have some semblance of forest along the river belt. Setting aside land in areas like Wayu and Woldenna for creation of a forest is being unfair to the pastoral people of Tana River and, specifically, Galole Constituency. Therefore, the Committee should be facilitated to go and establish the priority in that area. The priority in that place is pastoralism. It is cattle keeping and not the creation of forests or conservancies. What was raised ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. As you all know, this Bill is constitutional and it has serious deadlines. We need to pass it. The object of the Bill is to give effect to Article 232 of our new Constitution. We must all have a special and new public service, not the old Public Service. The Constitution says that we need to recognize honesty. We need honest officers. We need to observe matters of meritocracy. We need people with integrity and we also need to observe the rule of The electronic version of the Official ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: law to the letter. The enactment of this Bill will revolutionize performance of public officers in the public sector. When you look at Clause 4, it touches on all State officers and State organs, that is both national and county. This will necessitate that the Bill should go to Senate for endorsement so that it can be enacted. We need to make sure we have public servants who are efficient, effective and who know how to use public resources. As you all know, we have a lot of privileges and a lot of corruption in the Public Service. The hon. ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We must also look into issues of corruption and take care of people who are living with physical disabilities. We need to enact a law that will ensure that a certain percentage of workers or servants at the county-level are from other parts of the country. Otherwise, we will go back to our tribal cocoons. During the colonial period, all the workers in Baringo, Kisii, Garissa, Turkana, West Pokot and elsewhere were locals of those places. We need to change this scenario to ensure that public service within the counties does not promote ethnicity to the extent that we have ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, when you have an insecurity problem in your constituency and you call an officer, you are told: “ Mheshimiwa, we have deployed security personnel. We have done a lot of other things.” However, if you investigate a day or two days later, you discover that nothing was done. Again, if you ask an officer for more information, you are misled. Therefore, we will introduce punitive measures to ensure that--- view
