• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of the Registrar of Political Parties, who has been allocated Kshs507 million.

• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We must amend the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. We did not come to this House to be rubber stamps. We cannot even change the ceilings. This is a presidential system of Government whereby this House is a Budget-making House. Because of the limitation of the PFM Act, we cannot change the Budget ceilings. We are just rubberstamping. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to seek your direction pertaining to a serious matter that is affecting our constituencies. As you are aware, the law pertaining to the management of Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) was changed. As I speak now, no operations are taking place at the constituencies because we do not have a committee in place. We are aware that the regulations are under the Attorney-General (AG) and they have overstayed. I am using Article 125 of the Constitution where you can summon anybody anywhere, to seek your direction in terms of getting these regulations so that the ... view

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that devolution was meant to devolve governance and public services across the country, including access to basic services like acquisition of identity cards, passports, birth certificates, voters cards, among others; further noting that, currently, all registration of national identity cards only happens at one center in Nairobi; cognizant of the fact that this delays the acquisition of identity cards, thus denying Kenyans their right to employment, ability to vote, access to public funds like Uwezo Fund and other crucial services, this House resolves that the ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, an identity card is a critical document for every Kenyan. The law requires that every Kenyan above the age of 18 years must have an identity card. The identity card should have your names, where you come from and your photo to show how you look like. Without an identity card, you cannot even marry. If you want to get a marriage certificate, you must have an identity card. If you want to do any transaction, such as view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Fund, you must have an identity card. When it comes to transfer of money, for you to use the services of Safaricom such as Mpesa, you must have an identity card. As a student at the university, in order for you to apply for a Higher Education Loans Board loan, you need an identity card. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Article 38(3) of the Constitution is very clear that every Kenyan has a right, without unreasonable restriction, to be a registered voter. That means without an identity card, you cannot get a voter’s card. At the moment, Kenyans are registering as voters. We have a very high rate of voter apathy. Most of the youth do not have identity cards. There are those who have waited for years. Others wait for six months. When they go to the registration centres to pick up their identity cards, they do not find them. They are told the cards are still in Nairobi. ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Currently, we have issues of unemployment. The other day, we were interviewing house helps. In order for a house help to come and work for you in your house, he or she must have an identity card. A watchman, too, must have an identity card. Research has shown that 70 per cent of the people who are unemployed are the youth. If we decentralise registration, we will be helping unemployed youth to access identity cards within the shortest time possible.

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in order for youth and women groups in the villages to benefit from Uwezo Fund, the members of those groups must have identity cards. One of the requirements in the regulations of Uwezo Fund is that you must open a bank account. You cannot open a bank account without an identity card. Additionally, we have a security crisis because some people do not have identity cards. I request this House to support this Motion so that registration of identity cards can be decentralized to the respective counties. view
