• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your guidance. When the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee was moving the Motion, he gave an indication that there was an addendum to the Report. Arising from that, that was the intention and I want to make it formal now by moving an amendment so that that addendum becomes part of the report so that whatever is contained therein is captured. The amendment is that:- view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The Motion be amended by inserting the following words after the figure 2013; “subject to (a) amending paragraph 41, Item 4 on page 14 by deleting the figure of Kshs300 million and substituting with a new figure of Kshs500 million thereof.

• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: This in effect formalizes what the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee said when he was reading the Report on the issue of the addendum so that these monies are given to the GDC and REA. The REA is doing a lot of good work in our respective constituencies and I want to inform hon. Members to go to the REA and get the status of each constituency for both the current and next financial year so that they put in their priorities. So, I want to move these amendments and request my Vice Chair, hon. Gaicuhie to second ... view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I am a Member of the Budget Committee and I want to confirm that yesterday, we worked almost up to today. So, I support the Report because it is very clear. The roles of the National Assembly and those of the Senate are very clear. I do not think there is any dispute in the Constitution as regards the roles of the two Houses of Parliament. Hon. Speaker, Sir, we are not saying that the county governments should not be given more money. Indeed, they must be given more money ... view
• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to support this Adjournment Motion so that we have time to touch base with our constituents. I think it has been quite a long time and this is the opportune moment for us to go and touch base and also start the CDF projects. We have just passed the approval of two appointments. I would like to talk about the one of Mr. Kimemia. We are where we are as a country because after we passed the Constitution, we were very quick to go and pick everybody from the streets and some busy bodies and ... view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I will attempt to give that Statement within two weeks from today. view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think this is a matter of procedure as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. If we were to allow this matter to go to the PAC directly, then we are going to cause chaos in the departmental committees because the PAC deals with matters which have been tabled and audited by the Auditor-General. Unless hon. Jakoyo was seeking for a special audit after which they can now take over as the PAC but in his request, that matter should go to the Departmental Committee on Justice and ... view

• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, so, I request that you accept what the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has said and refer this matter to the relevant departmental committee as a matter of procedure so that we do not cause chaos among the watchdog committees and the departmental committees. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion before us. When you look at the Motion it is very encouraging and we should support it. However, when you go deeper into the matter, you realize it is not a very simple one. First of all, the Mover of the Motion should have given us examples of the agro-based organizations, where they are located and how they were formed. I come from Kericho County. If I were to accept this Motion, I would be saying that Muhoroni Sugar Factory, which is located in Kisumu ... view
