• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: It is, indeed, important when such an issue is happening. Our MCAs should do something called capacity building. That will enable them to provide oversight that is going to add value as far as this is concerned. Lastly, I want to talk about roads. We know very well that after the Transition Authority (TA) finished its work, most roads are now at the county level. When you go to the counties, you find that because of vague classification claims, certain governors say some roads belong to the national Government. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: It is, indeed, important as we move on in terms of the work plans at the county level. They must be tabled in the respective counties for purposes of accountability and follow up. As I finish, I want to thank St. Bridges Girls which is in the Speaker’s Gallery. This is a school from my constituency and it performs very well. It is a national school. I want to welcome them to the National Assembly and thank the Speaker for allowing them to come here within a short period. view

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I would like to thank Hon. (Eng.) Mahamud and the Committee for the good work. This Bill has been long overdue. It is very critical and we know that the road network is important in every economy. The Bill had brought a lot of confusion on the ground.

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The Road Maintenance Fuel Levy Fund which has been increased in the new Budget will affect the common mwananchi . You will pay more for fuel for boda boda . On the other stage, we need to look at the aspect of the cost of living. As we try to maintain these roads, we also need to balance, so that we do not increase the Road Maintenance Fuel Levy Fund and compromise on the cost of living. The levy will be higher. This will be carried forward to the common view

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As we move on, it will be key for this House to know the classification of roads. I have seen a big booklet which has classified all the roads in this country. However, that booklet is not available. I know it is on sale. It will be critical for the common mwananchi at the grassroots to know who is responsible for these particular roads. It has brought a lot of confusion. I come from Trans Nzoia County. I attended the Senate sitting when my governor appeared. We have had a lot of audit issues and corruption in procurement.

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We know very well that we have so many youths who do not have jobs. Research has shown that 70 per cent of the youths are unemployed. We need to be told the percentage of the projects in terms of tenders, which have been given to the youth at the county level. The report must be tabled to the county assemblies. It is key because it is a disgrace in some counties. We must defend the interest of the youths who are unemployed in this country. view
• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As I conclude, there is the issue of KeRRA. It has done a good job, but we need to have a clear framework on the transition of its assets. It is key. I have seen many machines on the ground. If proper framework has not been put in place, the public is likely to lose a lot of these assets that are being misused at the ground level. view
