• 30 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, I have been mourning. That is why I am in low spirits. So, just bear with me. It is something to do with my constituency. In my community, when you mourn, there is also the aspect of crying that affects your voice. So, that is why I am affected. view
• 30 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: My humble request is that you direct the Table Office to make photocopies of these regulations to be placed at the entrance. I went there and not all of them are available. Some of us are very serious people. We have to go through them so that we can contribute accordingly. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: My humble request is the Table Office should do photocopies. We request every parliamentarian that as they go out to pick a copy, when we come back, we amend them accordingly. view

• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee where I served once for the work well done. Looking at this Budget, we have many challenges, one, in terms of the elections. We know very well that budgets of countries in East Africa come at the end of the financial year, which is 30th June. So, they come around July. This was meant, deliberately, to avoid speculation. In this case, because of the change of the election date, we find it very difficult. Maybe it is high time as parliamentarians we thought how ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: given that provision of the two years in the PFM Act for us to be able to complete those projects within that particular timeframe. If we are not going to adhere to that, you will find that many of our projects will go beyond. The Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to look into it as we move. Another critical issue is about agriculture. In this country, food insecurity is a big problem. This is a country that cannot feed its own. We have problems. The drought is there. We know there is the aspect of climate change. It is the ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: look at the last audited accounts that were approved. We know very well that the last audited accounts that were approved were those of 2013/2014 and yet we are looking at 2017/2018. We have a deficit of about four years. This is not good for devolution. We are talking about Kshs2.631 trillion and whatever is going down to our counties is not corresponding. We wish that in future that the committees in charge move with speed so that the audited revenues are approved in good time so that if we are dealing with the Budget Estimates of Financial Year 2017/2018, ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Due to the good things that I am talking about, I should be added two minutes so that in future we can have these improvements. Lastly, I want to speak about education. Hon. Duale talked about people scoring D- (Minus) and D+ (Plus). It is, indeed, important. People who score D+ (Plus) can study for a degree and become professors. If you score D+ (Plus), there is a provision where you can study for a certificate and from there, you can get a diploma, a degree and then a PhD. I know very many professors that were primary school teachers. ... view
• 21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand here to say goodbye to Mr. Bundi. Mr. Bundi was a wonderful guy. There is so much that we can borrow from him. He is very humble. He is ever smiling. He has been very good in terms of time management. More importantly, he is a very committed family person. I travelled with him sometime back to Italy. At the time, we were visiting the Holy Father in Rome. For those of us who were here for the first time, we learnt so much from our Clerk in terms of induction and the legislative ... view
