• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate the Committee for the good work they have done. Listening to the Mover of this Motion, it was very clear that a lot of work has been done and the vetting has been very effective. I support the appointment of Amb. Johnson Weru. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I know Weru in person. We worked together at one point when I was a consultant in the Governance, Justice, Law and Reform Programme. He was the liaison person for the Government of Kenya. I can confirm to Hon. Members that this officer is very competent in the Republic of Kenya. He is also very committed to his work. He is an officer who works not caring much about the pay, but works to get results. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: That time the programme was promoting the issue of results-based performance, so that you work more looking at the results rather than the processes. I can tell you that if we want a PS who will work to achieve results in this important docket, we cannot get a better person than Amb. Johnson Weru. Having been the Director of Trade at one point, I can assure this House that in terms of competency and experience, he will deliver in this docket. I only wish that we give him the necessary support in terms of ensuring that we are providing the ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: This country is facing the challenge of counterfeit goods. That is a fact and we need somebody who can clean that process so that we develop our own local industries. Then we can achieve the Big Four Agenda and contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 15 per cent. The other issue is that of the pending bills in this Department. The Mover of this Motion will agree with me that, at one point, they had a serious challenge getting officers from that Department coming to interact with the Committee whenever they were doing their oversight work. However, I ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: co-operation they require to drive this country to the next level. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support his appointment. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the following Question directed to the CS for the National Treasury and Planning: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide the status of development of the monitoring and evaluation policy and legal framework based on the Government’s adoption of Results-Based Management as a key driver of its development programmes? (ii) What specific measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that there is an existing policy framework to guide feedback on the effectiveness of the implementation of development programmes set out in the Third Medium Term Plan of Kenya Vision 2030 and Big Four ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. The Leader of the Majority Party has put it very well. The requirement that you must approve within 14 days actually negates the whole process of vetting. So, since vetting is a requirement, we really need to provide for adequate time so that we are able to do the necessary ground check. We need to do a thorough job as Parliament. I second. view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My worry is with the five minutes. I have looked at most of the Motions which are limiting time. When you are aware that you will speak for only five minutes, this is likely to kill the spirit of research. I do not think I will take two hours researching on a topic and then come here to get five minutes to articulate my issues. I do not know how we are going to balance. For those who have interest in a specific matter for example, the Sessional Papers which are very important, imagine if I ... view
