• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I want to agree with what Hon. Mbadi said on the composition of the board. It is important to have a representative from the National Treasury. When I looked at these provisions, I did not see any which provides for the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury. In the Committee of the whole House, we will propose amendments so that, at least, there is representation of the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury. The Cabinet Secretary for the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Treasury only comes in on issues of sacking. I strongly feel that we should have these people in place. view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a provision which says that three persons are nominated by employees of county governments, and that at least one of them should be of the other gender. I was trying to think of a framework under which employees of the 47 counties are going to come together at one place to nominate their three representatives. It is going to be difficult. So, I hope that as we move on, we will bring in the county assembly forum because it is already provided for. When you say you nominate people from the county assembly forum, ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: People reach retirement when their human capital is at zero and are vulnerable to diseases. In the country, the level of vulnerability to cancer has increased. It affects the elderly. There is diabetes and hypertension. These are diseases the old are vulnerable to. For one to be safe in old age, one needs to continue enjoying the benefits of retirement. That is why the success of the proposed scheme is very critical for us to have a healthy nation. I remember the words of former President Kibaki. He said, “A healthy nation is a working nation.” Good retirement schemes will ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Bill and congratulate the relevant Committee. However, we cannot mix LAPTRUST with LAPFUND. I hope the Chair is listening. We will handle the matter in the Committee of the whole House. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Under Article 95 of the Constitution, the National Assembly deliberates on and resolves issues of concern to the people. These are issue like floods. I want to thank Hon. Wario for bringing this matter to the House. Indeed, we know that we have some money for emergencies at the county and national level. This money is supposed to be used when it comes to mitigating such issues. The KenGen is supposed to have been proactive by looking at the weather patterns and liaising with the weather forecast department so that they could project whether the ... view

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will comment only on one. The issue of gambling has become a national disaster. My friend Hon. Theuri, whom I respect so much, and you know it is not easy to come for a second term from the constituency he represents and he is a second termer… Maybe he is representing the people of Embakasi West. My humble request to the Committee is they should be able to do a cost-benefit analysis. I have a friend who went to China where these machines are coming from. Even in China they are not allowed to operate. They are ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As the Committee looks into this, they should look at the bigger picture of families. I know some families are breaking up because of this. I know of a family where the father, a serious gambler, ended up spending the money he is sent to buy meat. We have seen children who, instead of paying school fees spend it on gambling. Even sadaka in church has reduced because instead of taking sadaka, people use the money to gamble. You cannot get anywhere through shortcuts. As the Committee will be looking into this matter, they should look at the bigger picture. ... view
