• 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
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Sometime back, we had this issue of Youth Fund where we had somebody called Bruce Odhiambo. Looking at some people’s academic credentials, you find some are being appointed, not because they have what it takes but maybe because they went to school with so-and-so. So, in terms of performance appraisal, such issues should not be there. Issues of being a certain clan or maybe a relative coming from a certain region should not be there at all. There must be clear framework that is agreed upon, that there is absence in terms of bias and that is very objective so ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: In the long run, you find the Government shareholding is diluted and the people who are buying may have seen a business venture and are going to benefit. They then go into it for their own interest. So, it is indeed important that this amendment Bill is giving a provision of doing that concept paper to the CS in charge of National Treasury, then it is discussed at the Cabinet level which is chaired by His Excellency the President. It is at the Cabinet level that a final verdict is made whether an entity should be privatised or not. Many ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: The quorum of two-thirds to transact business is key because you are making a very critical decision in terms of privatisation. We have seen cases where people conspire but without a quorum, they go ahead to conduct business yet they do not meet the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: minimum threshold. To provide checks and balances, it is important to have the two-thirds as the threshold to transact business. We have seen a case of National Social Security Fund (NSSF) making critical decisions without quorum. I support this Bill because it has a provision in terms of a quorum of two-thirds to carry out business so that we do not have a few individuals calling each other for a meeting for their own conflict of interests. We hope this will also apply in the sugar industry because at the moment, Nzoia, SONY and Muhoroni sugar companies are under the ... view

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and indeed Michael Rotich Sialai is the man who fits the bill. Rotich Sialai went to Friends School Kamusinga, a school that I went to. No wonder he behaves the way he is because in that school, issues of moral values, accountability and responsibility and use of common sense are upheld. Mr. Sialai is very accountable, very responsible and more importantly, he uses common sense. These are the things we were taught when we were in Friends School Kamusinga, even if we went there at different times. Mr. Sialai has ... view
