• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the next Order is the Committee of the Whole House on the Presidential Reservations on the Insurance (Amendment) Bill. I have just been consulting with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Limo. He has conferred with me that he is not ready because the matter is currently live at the Committee level. He has just requested me that using my position as a leader in this House, I request you to defer this matter to another day. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Again, this is a Bill that was meant to be moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. Unfortunately, like I had explained, he is out on official matter with an assumption that the other business that we had was going to take the rest of the day. I request you to step it down until tomorrow, Thursday. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have heard what Hon. Oundo has said. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, it is a shared programme. We have water as a devolved function and also in the national Government. The national Government only deals with mega projects that are county trans-boundary in nature. That is why the national Government must also have a budget. view

Even after this Budget goes through, we need to audit and see where the projects are so that come subsequent budgets, we can try to spread them out. If it is a matter of education, all Kenyans are farmers and they require education in farming. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, allow me to rise on a point of order and just remind my colleagues, who are generally doing very well, that we are in a Committee of Supply. When we are in such a Motion, usually the comments are limited because Parliament has oversight committees that look into the details and administrative issues of the departments that we are currently appropriating money to. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, will I be in order - given the fact that we have timelines on the Motion that we already have on the Committee of Supply for three allotted days, ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to seek your protection. Hon. Kioni seems to have a beef with me this evening. I want to say that I stand advised. I am sure by this evening and tomorrow in the morning, I will have notified all the chairs, especially those whose Votes have not been tackled, so that we can have them in the House. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Additionally, I stand to be advised on how we will move from the current Order to the next one because the current Order No.8 is on Committee of Supply (1st Alloted Day). I need to be advised on how we are moving to the 2nd Alloted Day without proper communication on the Standing Order. We were supposed to debate Committee of Supply on 1st Alloted Day this afternoon. This is very clear. We need to be advised on the matter of going to the 2nd Alloted Day. view
