• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what I want to tell those who are opposed to this deletion is that their property is safeguarded and the properties for married women are safeguarded.

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute on this matter by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I stand here to support this Motion. One, I must, as a member of the Committee, let this House know that the members of that Committee have been working tirelessly since the Budget process began to make sure that money is actually well appropriated and for the rightful purposes. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as I actually support this Motion, I must say that I am doing this with a heavy heart; a lot of money is going to the counties. Money being sent to the counties is actually money being sent to assist Wanjiku, as we refer to the common view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: However, it is quite unfortunate that the governors to whom we are giving this money are using a lot of it for Recurrent Expenditure and not Development Expenditure.

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: allocated himself a whooping Kshs50 million as entertainment allowance for one year. That would actually translate to about Kshs1 million per week on entertainment. One is left wondering whether this governor or the governors are keen on entertaining themselves or giving service to the common mwananchi . view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, while at it again, we have been told by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Treasury that much of the money that we allocated to them last year, another whopping Kshs50 million, has been lying at the CBK.

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, also on the issue of electrification, we all know that we need to light this country. The Government has always been very keen and it has promised us that within the next five years we will have about 5,000 megawatts of electricity being produced. That is why we are proposing that Kshs7.4 billion goes to the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) for purposes of rural electrification. view

They took the bold step to open up a national debate to check the ballooning and almost bursting national wage bill. It is on that basis that I would wish to say that in as much as we are saying we need to reduce the wage bill, we must also take cognisance of some institutions in the Constitution that eat into that wage bill. They increase the wage bill. view
