• 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: and culture in our society is important. I am talking from a point of experience. I am a member of the Banyore Community from Emuhaya, but settled in the County of Kakamega. There are cultural activities in our communities--- Last year, Hon, Wangwe hosted a cultural event for the Batsostso people. The Maragoli people have a culture called the Maragoli Cultural Organization. The Bukusu people also have their own. If those organizations are regulated by the law, we will have ways and means of enhancing cultural integration among the communities in the society. But if those organizations are not recognized ... view

• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion for Adjournment. Kenya is a country that is blessed with diverse cultural values and with 42 tribes. After the post-election violence, Members of Parliament have been going round the country praying for the victims and the suspects at The Hague but, with the coming of the Pope, I would wish we all converge there and pray for this important occasion. This is the opportunity where we can have genuine prayers led by our Pope for the healing of this country. Some of the ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important amendment Bill. First and foremost, the Bill is good as it seeks to protect our county governments, just like the national Government has been protected against pending bills, litigation and auctioning of properties. However, my caution is that governors in this country have taken over the procurement process. They have developed a mechanism whereby they manage the procurement process from the beginning, namely, the advertisement stage up to the award level. They do not give room for procurement rules and procedures to govern the process. That ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Trans Nzoia County has paid salaries using an overdraft, and there is evidence to that effect. Who granted that permission? Therefore, as we shield these county governments’ properties from auctioneers, we also need to warn these governors that they should operate within the parameters of the law. In the Kajiado County Government, the Governor has gone ahead and issued instructions to the Lands Registry not to transfer land to outsiders. Which law are they using? As much as we make laws here to assist the governors to be efficient in their operations, they should also respect the same laws. Governors ... view

• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am just seeking guidance on the issue the Hon. Member on the Floor is talking about. That is about the county sponsors being consulted on appointment of head teachers. The Constitution has given--- view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: What is out of order is that boards of management be consulted in appointing head teachers. The Constitution has given express mandate of managing teachers’ affairs to the TSC. So, they do not need to consult anyone. They need to follow the law. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Tax Procedures Bill, 2015. There is a very interesting aspect in this Bill regarding the security on property for unpaid taxes. Always, Kenyans with the ability to pay taxes have been evading payment of tax. When you look at Clause 40 of the Bill, it provides that where a taxpayer, being the owner of a land and a building in Kenya fails to pay tax by the due date, the Commissioner may direct the Land Registrar, in writing, that the land or the building is ... view
