• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was saying that--- view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I can see there is a lot of excitement on the appointment of hon. Maj-Gen. Nkaissery. I also want to congratulate him for being appointed the new Cabinet Secretary. He is the only one who can okoa Kenya. We look forward to him doing that. I was on a very serious matter. On Motion No.11 the issue of the celling for public debt has not been discussed by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It has not been discussed by the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee of this House. The reason I am proposing an amendment is because I strongly believe ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I hope our Chairman will call for a meeting and then we can discuss this. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion in terms of the adoption of the Report of PIC. From the word go, I want to support the adoption of the Report. That is because this Report documents very important findings in terms of what is happening in our parastatals. We are all aware that parastatals provide the opportunity or the channel through which the Government invests. In an ideal situation, if we get it right in terms of investments, this country will achieve sustainable development through those institutions. Unfortunately, when you read reports, ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: If you look at most of these reports, there is a bit of a historical trend in terms of the findings. You can see there are a lot of common findings year in, year out. Looking at what we are discussing, these were reports of the Tenth Parliament. We are now in the 11th Parliament. The question you would want to ask yourself is: In terms of value addition and with these kinds of reports we are discussing now, will it be adding value to what is happening to the economy today? What I am saying is that we need ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: backwards with that CEO and clear all the reports? This is because when you look at the findings, they are all the same. Actually, I sympathize with our Public Investments Committee (PIC). I am worried that we may be here discussing a report of a CEO who retired about five or six years ago and because our life expectancy is not very high, that character might even have died. Then you ask yourself: Why are we discussing a recommendation saying “prosecute this character”, who is already somewhere in a grave? What do you do as the Chair? You get very ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: worth ten times your salary?” In that way, we will actually have started doing the right work. I also think it is high time our Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, which is in charge of matters to do with corruption, pulls up its socks. That is because this institution has been allocated money to make sure that when a report like the one we are discussing has made recommendations they take action. That way, these reports will be seen to be important. Otherwise, Kenyans actually laugh at us when we take time to discuss these reports and they do not see ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support this amendment because of the problem of child trafficking. If the parents are not informed in good time, they can easily get worried about their children. I would even have proposed, if it was possible, to reduce the number of days to be less than seven days. The seven days is a whole week, which is quite a long period for a parent not to be knowing where her or his child is. However, I support the amendment. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support this amendment bearing in mind that in some situations, these regulations have delayed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: operationalisation of specific clauses in a law. It is important, as the Mover said that the law should be clear on what should be done without saying “subject to Regulations”. I support. view
