• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I agree with what Hon. Pukose has put across. When he says that the Ministry was split into two, I expected him to say that it is as a result of the Executive order. It is only an Executive order that can split ministries and this led to this or that. Unfortunately, my friend, the surgeon, forgot to say that. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I support. Thank you. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My point of order is that our cards are not working. Yesterday, they were activated. They gave us the password and the cards worked briefly. Today, they are not working. Maybe you need to order the Director, ICT, to move with speed so that Members can contribute. I am not the only one. They are not working apart from those of Majority and the Minority leaders, and yourself. Thank you view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First and foremost, I want to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the work which was done well. We have always been talking about this as a budget-making House. We are in a presidential system where Parliament is a budget-making House. It is very unfortunate because this Parliament was more of a rubberstamp than a budget-making House in the last term. However, I can see some improvements this time because we will not just stamp whatever will be brought here. I want to, quickly, mention something about education. So many teachers are suffering because they ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: It is more than that. I had just started. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Chair is not paying attention. I am talking about the criteria for assembling the framework that was used to visit the respective counties. You are supposed to listen to the citizens and their concerns so that in the spirit of public participation, you allocate some funds. When I look at the criterion that was used to select the 12 counties that were visited: West Pokot, Kajiado, Bungoma, Nakuru, Kirinyaga, Tharaka- Nithi, Nairobi, Migori, Nyamira, Marsabit, Mombasa and Makueni, I expected the Chair to have said that they based the selection on sampling. Instead, they said ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: oppose this and whoever intends to remove that money, we are not going to accept. It can only happen over our dead bodies. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We are here as representatives of the people. We cannot allow few individuals to collude to further their selfish interests. It is, indeed, important that if visits to a county are going to be based on membership of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, then it is a challenge to us, Whips. Does it mean that when you are a member of the BAC they are going to put money in your respective counties? They have done good work on this report, but I have concern when it comes to the issue of public debt. Public debt in the country is ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On public hearing, the ones taking place have become a public relations exercise. Once the BPS is tabled here in February later we go for public hearing, it will not be incorporated. I agree it is important to amend the Public Finance Management Act so that we change public hearing to come early around October or November so that whatever wananchi suggest is incorporated in the BPS. What we are doing now is actually a public relations exercise because once the BPS has been tabled in the House and has given priority areas, public hearing will be useless. So, it ... view
