• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to join other colleagues in supporting the Committees’ Report, which proposes that we annul the Sinking Fund Guidelines. I have listened to the Mover of the Motion. He has articulated the reasons as to why they are annulling these important Guidelines. What I am picking from this presentation is that we are using the same reasons which were being proposed to annul the Biashara Fund Regulations that we debated either late last week or earlier this week. With regard to these two sets of Regulations, one is being annulled for technical ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Treasury, I urge the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to do a bit of work to ensure that we do not always come here to reject such important guidelines and Regulations which can help move the country forward. With those many remarks, I have no choice but to support the annulment of the Sinking Fund Guidelines. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to assure Hon. Members that the most beautiful women in this country come from our region. view
• 10 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: You are doing the right thing. So, let us appreciate and focus on business. You can send your sons to our side so we provide them with more beautiful ladies. It is actually our weakness to have beautiful ladies. As you can see, we have one here. Thank you very much for appreciating what Kamba men can do in terms of bringing beautiful women to this earth. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this important Motion. I want to start by thanking the Committee for the good work they have done. If you listened to the Mover, you will realise that this lady has what it takes to do her work. She has the academic qualifications and the necessary experience. Now that she has been nominated to represent the National Police Service NPS, it is important that she carries that brief. I know that SRC is a national Commission. The Commissioners are appointed to represent specific groupings. This one has been nominated ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: approved Commissioners, under the pretext that they are going to represent Parliamentarians. I am sorry to say, from my own assessment, I do not think that the Commissioners we have appointed to go and represent us in that Commission have actually done a good job. After landing in that Commission, they started taking care of their own salaries other than the interest of Members of Parliament. From what the Members have said, I want to give specific examples. When you look at our police service and the policemen and women who are currently serving, you will be surprised to find ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is unbelievable to hear that such a big project did not consider the Environmental Impact Assessment Report. I must thank the Petitioners for raising this matter in this House because if it is the question of investment, as the Committee deliberates on this matter, it will be very important that they consider what the Petitioners are saying. This is because we have seen in the past in this country where omission of consideration of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report has actually led to deaths. So, it is important and urgent that this matter is considered ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is important that we put the record straight. Every time the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) is tabled in this House, it is done together with what we call “The Medium Term Debt Management Strategy.” These two documents come together. As a Committee on Budget and Appropriation, we discuss them together. So, unless Hon. Duale is saying that he wants a special report which will specifically talk about debt management, the report that is presented by the Budget and Appropriations Committee always has a component on debt management. Why do we do that? If you look ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: to be released locally is Kshs2.4 trillion, meaning that the country is expected to borrow about Kshs860 billion. So, because we are going to borrow, the Medium Term Debt Management Strategy is important and we must discuss it. Otherwise, we will have unfunded Budget. I can assure Hon. Duale that the Report that will be presented next week by our Chairman, Hon. Kanini Kega, will discuss that particular issue because as it is, there is a deficit. Hon. Speaker, you have also raised an important point, that that is what we have not been doing as a House. Every quarter, ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support the Report of the Committee. I have listened to some Members who are confusing the Report of the Committee which is proposing nullification of the regulations and the merit of facts. The Committee has said it looked at the proposed regulations and realised some gaps in terms of the process. It is on this basis that they are proposing to this House to nullify these regulations. We have a situation whereby the key stakeholders affected by this legislation have not been consulted to give their input. So, as the regulations ... view
