• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I would like to talk about the Electronic Voter Identification Devices (EVIDs) and BVR gadgets. Before you vote, they are supposed to check electronic verification kits. This is the time they verify whether you are registered or not. We are telling the IEBC that we will not entertain any mistakes. If you go to vote, the EVID must verify whether you are registered or not. The commissioners who are willing to step aside should do so, so that we do not waste Kenyans’ time. I know Kenyans are willing to pay these commissioners if the issue is money. We must ... view

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is true this matter was discussed by the House Business Committee (HBC) last evening. It was agreed that because the financial year is coming to an end tomorrow, we pass this Motion so that we can expedite the process for purposes of validity. 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

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the adoption of the Report on the Second Supplementary Estimates for Financial Year 2016/2017. However, I have some issues. We know very well that Article 223 of the Constitution is very clear on supplementary budgets. It provides for unforeseen circumstances, emergencies or situations whereby funds which were allocated were inadequate. However, in this Supplementary Budget, none of these things qualify the way they are provided. My friend, Hon. Makali, has just said that there is provision for depreciation of the shilling. That should not be the case because ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is very wrong for the National Treasury to continue violating the recommendations of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There must be sanctions. We cannot continue doing this. It is provided in the law that they can seek approval within two months. How sure are we that this is within the two months? I wish the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is listening to me. The law provides for the National Treasury to seek approval within two months, but we doubt whether this Supplementary Budget is within two months. It comes at the last day ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I am mentioning this so that the National Treasury can listen. Trying to pass this Motion is an opportunity cost to the members. They need to know. We know very well that at a time like this, you can express your sentiments. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC. The country has been crying for the commissioners to go home. Therefore, I expected the Supplementary Budget to have a provision of some money for the compensation of commissioners when they go home. That is an emergency. The money is not in the Supplementary Budget, and we are approaching the general elections. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This has been an outcry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You should give a provision for contingencies in planning, because people are crying. So, there must be a provision to compensate the IEBC commissioners who are about to go home. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As I conclude, there is the issue of indebtedness. We are subjecting this country to a lot of expenses. One of the critical expenses we have seen is the depreciation of the Kenyan Shilling. It is important to get money from outside wisely. There is excessive borrowing. When we compare the Jubilee Government and the nusu mkate Government, whatever Jubilee Government has borrowed in three years is way beyond the 10 years that President Kibaki had borrowed when he was in power. So, as we try to improve infrastructure, we must borrow wisely. We should not borrow excessively and put ... view
