• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support the sentiments by the Leader of the Minority Party that the concerns of the retired teachers must be addressed so that in future our teachers can see that they really served this nation well. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for this Report. view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. My issue is mainly on the beneficiaries of those loans who are not yet employed and the Board continues to charge them penalties. That is my concern. Going forward, we have to look into that issue seriously because those who are not employed do not have sources of income and imposing penalties on them does not make sense. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President. I want to say that the cash payment programme for the pending cases of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) that had not been resettled previously is the right step towards peace building amongst communities. It is also a commitment to constitutional values; that is national unity, human dignity, equity and social justice. We also have to note that there are still some households which were left out in the exercise and which are also supposed to be ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this BPS. I support because for one, the grants to counties to revamp polytechnics will assist us in developing the necessary skills. That way, the youth can be self-employed and have income to assist them. I also want to say that the allocations towards Level 5 Hospitals are good. As a country, we need to have, at least, one Level 5 Hospital in every county. In my county, we do not have one. As we do that, we also have to have reasonable allocations towards the ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: in the polytechnics, there will be teachers. So, we are expecting to have reasonable allocations towards the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology so that we can have more teachers. We should also revise the payment for the teachers. On matters of the wage bill, I want to indicate that it is a concern to all of us. There is a Report by the Auditor-General’s Office that we are losing about Kshs300 billion to corruption-related practices. We are insisting that the Government should put in place sufficient measures to curb that problem, so that we do not have corruption-related practices ... view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We also have the Constitution that we passed in 2010. All of us have a duty to look into it so that, if there are some grey areas which are contributing to this wage bill problem, we can address them as a country. As far as the counties are concerned, we expect them to be equitable in the way they are doing their businesses. That is not only in terms of ensuring that all the constituencies are fairly supported even in terms of employment. We realize that some of our counties, like my county, if there are employment opportunities of ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to say that I support this Motion and it is a fact that this amount, Kshs1,020 per student, which was set by the NARC Government is not enough currently considering the inflation which this country is facing. I want to say that it is time that this Jubilee Government makes adjustment to this amount so that our schools can be able to cater for their requirements. The prices of stationery has been increasing over time and even in the VAT Bill which we passed, we never reduced the cost of exercise books, ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: So, I want to say that I am happy that this Motion has been brought before this House and it is our duty and responsibility as leaders to also support it. In so doing, we shall enable our children to continue learning because at the moment most of the parents are unable to meet the additional costs imposed by schools to supplement this capitation. view
