• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: One, this Bill is stating that where funds have been irregularly issued to the county governments, there would be a way of recovering that money as we move forward. The other thing which is important is that this Bill also demands that the money given by the national Government to the counties must be accounted for every quarter. To me, that is a very important matter. The only issue of concern is that if you look at this Bill, you will realise that we are using the audited revenue for 2012/2013 Financial Year meaning that we still have 2013/2014 and ... view

It has been said that we have many political parties in this country. After the last general election, only three parties managed to get national funding despite the fact that we are in a coalition. You are aware that under the CORD Coalition, we have key coalition partners like Wiper Democratic Movement and FORD (K). If you look at ... view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We need to bear in mind that this House is digital. We have the intervention function in this board which you can just press and wait to be given a chance to raise a point of order. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

I hope that you will also be The electronic version ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: proposing additional amendments to make sure that the coalition partners are properly catered for through this law. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With those comments, I support. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is an area I have a bit of expertise in. I am concerned that we really want to restrict generation of advice to one institution. This area is a very complicated one and if I were the person being advised, I would not mind getting advice from many sources as long as I am able to pick which advice makes sense to the person being advised based on the current situation.
