• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I rise to support this amendment because it makes a lot of sense. When you are dismissed from office, it is important that the reasons are clearly stated and are applicable because you might just be dismissed for no reason. So, I support this because it is important. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. While the explanation provided by the Mover is very clear, it also becomes an issue of concern when you look at the fact that this Bill went through a parliamentary committee which has serious experts in this area. I wonder how some of these small things go all the way to the presidential level only to be referred here for amendment. It just says that we need to do much more as a Committee of Parliament in terms of getting some of these things right. I support. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This amendment is very important. We know the operational law in terms of public finance is the Public Finance Management Act of 2012. When reference is not made to this Act, I agree with the President that this might lead to misappropriation of public resources. So, it is a very important amendment and I support it. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. You know the more the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party continues prosecuting these amendments, the more I get worried. We all know that the SRC is mandated by the Constitution to take care of public officers’ salaries and allowances. How come there was such a serious omission that you just give a counsel a free hand to do all these minus reference to the SRC? This Committee on Health needs to help us. We look so bad in the eyes of the public. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: No. I am just saying that it makes us look bad as a House. When this thing has to come from the presidency and yet we have the legislative mandate in this country, it looks bad. I support. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Nyikal is making it even worse. The Committee where Hon. Nyika sits is supposed to oversee this ministry. Is he telling this House that they are not able to do that? When he says the Director of Medical Services is not participating in this process, what message are you sending to us Members of Parliament? We are your colleagues. Are you telling us you cannot manage this ministry? view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At long last, I have got an opportunity to say something. I have listened to the Members make contributions. I want to remind them that this is a policy statement, it is not Budget view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: 55 Thursday, 28th February 2019(P) view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Estimates. So, even as we contribute, we do not need to narrow down to issues of houses, roads and similar things. There will be time to discuss that. What we need now is to question the policies which the Government has put forward. This document was approved by the Cabinet. It means it is a policy document in terms of what the Government is singing for the next one year. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: From the word go, when you look at this BPS, it is projecting a budget deficit of 5.6 per cent meaning that after we do all our collections as a country, we will be expected to borrow out there to the tune of 5.6 per cent of the Budget. To me, the policy question is: What is the policy of this Government in terms of moving towards a balanced budget or what we call a zero-budget so that we do not have to borrow? That is the first question. Members have spoken about the Big Four Agenda. I like the ... view
