• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, many hon. Members have said, without exception, that all the governors have excluded them from knowing what is going on in the counties. It is as if Members of Parliament do not come from those counties. Like I have said before, we are Members of Parliament and our role is oversight, representation and legislation. Above all, we are the peoples’ representative and the more reason why we should sit in the County Development Board to make sure that the money that is allocated to the counties is well used to benefit the common mwananchi .

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. From the outset, I would like to support the amendments brought by hon. Mule. The matter of transfer of functions from one level of the Government another falls under Article 187 of the Constitution. My position is that the President needs to move very fast and establish a taskforce to go round the country to find out the ills that affect our health services. Once the taskforce gives its report to the Summit, that is the President and the governors, it will be able to know what health services and hospitals to transfer back to the ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to make my contribution on this Appropriation Bill. Right from the outset, I would like to state my support for this Bill. I must also say that I am a Member of this Committee. I have heard Members contribute on this Bill with a lot of emotion. This is not a matter like, say, a football match between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards. We have spent a lot of time meeting various sectoral groups to come up with this Appropriation Bill. We have allocated close to about Kshs33 billion to the ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Money under D115 has been allocated to the Ministry of Energy. This money will be used in the exploration of oil in our country, construction of the pipeline and coal mining. Once we have these resources, it will bring the cost of trading in Kenya down. Hon. Speaker, money has been allocated for security purposes. We know that this country has been plagued with insecurity issues in the last two weeks or so. I must say with a lot of respect that as I was coming to the Chamber some Members of this House were asking whether it is possible ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to direct this to The Leader of the Minority Party--- view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to speak to this Motion. History tends to repeat itself. When the original railway line was being constructed, we had the man-eaters of Tsavo. I want to equate the forces that were opposing this railway line to the man-eaters of Tsavo. As my colleagues have said, this is going to spur growth in the country. It is going to reduce the wear and tear that we expose our roads to when goods, cargo and containers are transported through the main road. The issues that were bedeviling this process as it commenced ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with your kind permission--- As you know we are under a presidential system and any Member of the committee can, through delegation. It should be the Chair, and in the absence of the Chair, the Deputy Chair. In their absence, then they can delegate to anybody else. I am certain that hon. Munuve is equal to the task. These are signs of things to come. I believe it is an indication that hon. Munuve is willing to serve in the ruling coalition. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is with a lot of respect and humility. My point was meant for the Chairperson, Committee on Administration and National Security. view
• 11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with your kind permission, I want to seek some clarification from the Chair on matters of health. view
