• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: What we are saying is that once Hon. Millie’s amendment is carried, the amendment by Hon. Mohamed Hire is null and void. It cannot be presented. So, what we need to do because what we have done automatically means this amendment by Hon. Mohamed Hire dies if Millie’s is carried… As the Leader of the Majority Party is saying, an integrated professional management system is very important. There is no way you can do without it in a country. It is the modern way of doing registration. So, we need to recommit this thing. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: You know, to add these titles you do not just pick them on the streets. They need to be mentioned. I support this amendment because I think this development is very important for our CEO. However, how I wish that we could be consistent because I remember when we were discussing the issue of the poisons board, you said a master’s degree is not a requirement. You said it could be an added advantage. That was the opinion of the Leader of the Majority Party and I wonder how he now says yes to it. I think it is important ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: You know, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thought we have a free seating arrangement. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am also a pastoralist. You need to note that. The Kamba also keep a lot of livestock and move from one area to another. On a serious note, let me support this Petition. I want to thank Hon. Mbui for bringing this Petition to the House. Looking at the time it has taken for this compensation to be paid, I think the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs needs to act very fast. We are talking about only Kshs40 million. Children lost their lives and we just wanted to give their families some small token ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the proposal in terms of the board Members. Even as I support, I think the number of board Members seems to be quite high. Board members are there for strategic direction and policy making. Let us not make these things appear so big as if they are technical. The normal government boards allow for three to nine members. The maximum is nine. The boards that do better are those with fewer members because they just provide strategic direction and policy. From there you leave the technicians to implement. As I support, I ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. While this amendment sounds good, I think we need to be careful with it. Are we saying that the board will have the responsibility of approving colleges as well as curriculum? I do not think that is its work. The Chair needs to be careful because we might be opening room for rent seeking. We are we saying “any college recognised by the board in Kenya”. What is the implication of this? Maybe, I need clarification because to recognise a college, you must have looked at the curriculum to confirm it meets your expectations. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Chairman. I was just trying to get the details so that we help my friend Wamalwa to appreciate what we are doing. What is happening is that through the Executive Order, which has re-organised some departments in the Government, as a budget committee we had to create new vote heads because now we are getting some new AIE holders. So, all these changes are to factor in that Executive Order. That is what is happening and so I support. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I want to support this amendment because A-in-A is very important as we budget. But even as I support, it is important that I say what I am going to say. This is one of the areas where we have been having challenges in terms of disclosure. There are a number of MDAs who hardly disclose what they collect. As a result of that, there is no full accountability on the resources. So, even as we increase these resources, I would urge MDAs to make sure that they provide full disclosure when it comes to A-in-A ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this good opportunity to also support this Bill, which has been moved and seconded by my colleagues in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I support the Bill as presented even though I will be making some observations. As a House, we remember that around June, we went through the Committee of Supply and through it, we were able to supply what is going to be used in this financial year. But when the Finance Bill was presented to this House, we could not agree with some of the proposals by the ... view
