• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for coming to my aid. As I was saying, this Bill is timely, the President is leading from the front in having his salary and that of his Deputy cut by 20 per cent, and we must do more than that. We must also collapse the parastatals, we have so many heads of parastatals who are drawing huge salaries. Currently, we are having all the 47 governors flying the national flag, which is at a cost and eats into the national budget. I believe that the Bill is timely. Secondly, as a further step ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Why is it that this country, which we are so proud of, has 47 counties? These eat into the national budget. While at it, again, we must appreciate the issue of expenditure. We must seal the loopholes on matters of wastage. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I am well advised, but it is on wastage and unnecessary expenses to this country. I believe my point is very relevant because we must also appreciate that these are what we would call niceties. When you fly the national flag, as some people are saying, it is an issue of national pride. We must appreciate that if you fly the national flag and you are not entitled to do so, you are expected to pay a fine of Kshs.1 million or you could be jailed for a term not exceeding five years or you are exposed to both the ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We must appreciate the national pride that is exhibited by Kenyans on national days and when for example, Harambee Stars or the Kenya rugby teams are playing. We find matatus and Kenyans flying the national flag. We must distinguish people who want to fly the national flag and hold titles from the common mwananchi who displays national flag on national days. We do not want a matatu owner or driver to be arrested merely for flying the national flag at Nyayo National Stadium and he is fined Kshs.1 million or is put in jail for five years. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: As we pass this Bill, which hon. Members are willing to pass, we must distinguish between a common Kenyan who exhibits that national pride and a man who wants to show off his office, that he is a governor or he is a Cabinet Secretary. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I was talking about the relevance--- view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was talking about the relevance of my submissions on cutting down the wage bill. It is on record from the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury, Mr. Rotich, that a third of our budget goes to waste. He has even written a letter to the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations to that effect. Therefore, as we move forward in cutting down the wage bill, we must seal all the loopholes so that money is not wasted in unnecessary seminars, hospitality issues like buying of flowers for offices, provision of tea in offices and unnecessary travel. Hon. Temporary ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: keep on going out of the country on unnecessary trips that have no bearing to the common man or the Wanjiku of this country. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am just on my punch line, but so many hon. Members have eaten into my time. I stand to support this Bill. First, let us have the right persons fly the national flag as one part of our national pride. Secondly, let us cut down on costs and three; let us know who is who in this country. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
