• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: It is misunderstood, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He brought amendments which brought back the bias. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The nominated Member is trying to claim that I am out of order. It is not for him to determine that I am out of order or not. It is only the Chair who can determine that. You will continue to learn and you will understand as we move on. As I was saying, the changes that were made to the Act introduced bias. We no longer get equitable allocation and distribution of resources to the NG-CDF. You will appreciate a lot has been said about the good work, the gains, and the success ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: changes, some constituencies are going to continuously experience difficulties in developing their areas, particularly schools. In my constituency, I only do schools. I even stopped funding security projects. We are only funding education. With 80 secondary schools and 166 primary schools, it is very difficult. Some of them are new. They were started in the last five years. It is very difficult to support all these projects. My brother, Hon. John Waluke, will attest to it. He has had to visit my constituency and found it very difficult, but we have been trying. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: So, we must relook at the formula. If it means bringing amendments, we should do so. If the Committee does not do so, individual Members can do it. One of us has already indicated that he will do it. My brother, Hon. Wanyonyi, also said he will bring amendments. I was also going to do it. If we cannot do that, we should start considering repealing the Act, so that someone else takes responsibility. That responsibility will either be taken up by the national Government, through the Ministry of Education, or the funds will go to county governments because they ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you come from my neighbourhood and you have seen the challenges that you face and the ones that I face. They are more or less the same, but mine are of a bigger magnitude because of the size of my constituency. Now that I do not have much time, I support the Report and trust that the recommendations will be implemented and we will take time to review the Act and change the sharing formula so that we can solve the issues that have been raised. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to also contribute to this important Bill regarding sports. First, I support this Bill for the introduction and establishment of a Fund and the amendments to the Sports Act, 2013. I have listened to Members contribute and I did not want to repeat the things they have said. I would like to stress that the Chair of the Committee should look at the contributions by Members so that when it comes to the final stage, they are taken into account. I agree with Members that there is need ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Management will be very important. It has been provided very clearly in the Bill how to establish the boards of trustees and the management of the Sports Fund. It will be important that concentration is given to professionals and particularly people who have a passion for sports who will do their best. We have had difficulties with some people not paying players even when they go out to play. Those are things that need to be addressed so that we do not fall back into what has happened in the past. Having said that, I support the Bill. I hope ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Lands and Physical Planning the following Question: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that public land set aside for a police station and administrative offices in Marakaru/Tuuti Ward in Kanduyi Constituency has since been irregularly allocated to private persons? b) Is the Cabinet Secretary further aware that some Government houses and various parcels of land in Bungoma Town have been converted to private land and are now owned by individuals? c) What measures has the Ministry put in place to repossess all those irregularly allocated pieces of Government ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ask Question No. 174 of 2018 to the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Trade. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that the Government, in 2014, during the special summit of heads of State and Government of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) on Youth Unemployment held in Nairobi, undertook to host the Regional Youth Forum Secretariat of the ICGLR in Kenya, and further provide an initial USD2million to set up and run the secretariat for the first two years (2014 to 2016)? view
