• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Picking from where my colleague has left, resource distribution must be equitable. I would like to inform him that his constituency is not the largest. Mine has over 300,000 people. His has only 200,000 people. It has been very unfair when we get the same amount of money. I support that point. Even funds from NG-CDF must be shared equitably. If that cannot be done, we would rather give it to the national Government or county governments to manage it or we do it properly so that we benefit all Kenyans. This ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: When I look at the budget for universities, for instance; universities in the Central Region have been given huge sums of money, in some instances running to billions of shillings. Universities like Masinde Muliro and Kibabii University in western Kenya have been given a mere Kshs30 million and Kshs25 million. A university in Central Kenya has been given Kshs1.4 billion. That is very unfair. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I hope it does not eat into my time. I only have five minutes. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you for protecting me, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am not being tribal or complaining. I am only saying there should be equitable distribution of resources. Let all parts of the country be funded. That is the point I am trying to stress. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Budget and Appropriations Committee’s tours of the counties that have been mentioned are in line with the provisions of the Constitution. Article 221(5) of the Constitution is clear. It says that in discussing and reviewing the Estimates, the Committee shall seek representation from the public and their recommendations shall be taken into account when the Committee makes its recommendations to the National Assembly. The Committee visited my county and we appreciated. My colleague, Hon. Didmus, talked about it. We were happy that we were visited by the Committee. A public baraza was held, leaders’ meetings were held and the ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Rains have been experienced across the country. They were predicted. It was known that we were going to have rains because there was drought. Even the weatherman said it. Most of the roads in the country have been cut off. Besides the Solai disaster in Nakuru, people have suffered in many parts of the country. As a country, there ought to have been some mitigating measures in place to ensure that when something like this happens, action is taken to save our people. People have died in houses while others have died while crossing rivers. We have had many problems. ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Corruption begins at the budget-making process. When you duplicate a project in the Budget, is it deliberate or a typographical error? Money ends up being allocated to projects that are non-existent. As Parliament, we must be careful when we prepare the Budget to make sure that there is no duplication. At the end of the day, it will be used. Some people will want to provide for projects they know are not necessary or are not a priority simply because they want to use such projects to make money, like in the case of the NYS scandals. I do not ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also support this proposed amendment by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Just to add, it not only provides clarity on how to manage the process of investigation and other related actions, but also ensures that we have looked at the other related laws and provisions in other international statutes. Therefore, we are also complying with international statutes looking at the UN and other countries the Chairman has cited. This proposal will also protect all the parties that are affected and will ensure that we are able to ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think I should start by advising, for free, my brother, Hon. Didmus Barasa. We do not have laymen in the House and the Leader of the Majority Party can never be a layman. He is a senior legislator here. Didmus should learn. I know he was elected for the first time and he is learning, but I think he should speed up his learning, so that he can understand that there are no laymen in the House. We only have legislators. I am a member of the Departmental Committee in charge of security, ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also looked at this keenly and the Chair of the Departmental Committee of Communication, Information and Innovation explanation has not convinced us why these words are being removed. As the Leader of the Majority Party has said, the prosecuting institution is important. We need to retain those words. view
