• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to comment on the very important Petition by Hon. Sara Paulata. A road network plays a very critical role as far as the growth of any economy is concerned. We are deeply concerned about the issue of roads. When you look at the Manifesto of the Jubilee Government, it promised to develop about 10,000 kilometres of road. As much as Parliament has been allocating resources towards this, you will find that there has been no implementation. It is high time the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing gave a comprehensive ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Article 95(2) of the Constitution is very clear that the National Assembly can deliberate on any issue that affects the people. My friend, Hon. Kamama, who has been here for three terms, should know that this is not just an issue of the Senate only. That is because under Article 95(2)--- view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is very embarrassing that people are dying. The buck stops with the President. We cannot run away from this issue as our people are dying. It is important that we call a Motion for Adjournment to discuss the doctor’s strike. It is a very critical matter and the Jubilee Government must stop doing everything and address this issue. We must act. We cannot run away because people are dying. All Kenyans need answers from the Jubilee Government. The President must lead those talks. He cannot run away from the issue of doctors’ strike because Kenyans are ... view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important Bill and I wish hon. Members would pay attention. This is another section that we have had loopholes in terms of privatisation. Having been a Member of the Public Investments Committee (PIC), we have seen that most of the time Government shareholding or Government assets are being sold at a throw-away price. It is indeed important that this amendment is going to strengthen the framework of this law so that Government cannot lose out when it comes to privatisation. A friend of mine was asking me what we mean by privatisation. ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: the private. There must be a clear process to be followed so that the Government or the public cannot lose out. On the issue of performance appraisal, I totally agree with this inclusion. In today’s modern business environment, performance appraisal is very critical and the commissioners must be subjected to this evaluation process so that for them to be reappointed--- view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was just emphasising the issue of performance appraisal. Performance appraisal is very critical. The commissioners should not just be reappointed for the sake of it or based on politics or their relationship with the appointing authority. This is a situation which has brought problems in this country. You find that somebody does not have what it takes and is taken to become a commissioner of that particular parastatal yet there is no value addition. Performance appraisal is simply carrying out an evaluation so as to know how a person performed. It is like getting a ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: When it comes to performance appraisal, there must be clear targets. Targets are very important. We know very well this was something which was brought up by the Mwai Kibaki Government, particularly when it came to the economic recovery strategy. Move to Vision 2030 and there is this element of the public sector going for target setting. At the end of every financial year, you find that parastatals and ministries come together for evaluation. Normally, by the end of the financial year, there is an evaluation index. I remember in the Nusu Mkate Government, this docket was under the Prime ... view
