• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am part of the House leadership and, obviously, I cannot go against that. The issue is that I am a member of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. I know very well that the Budget Policy Statement is supposed to be scrutinized by respective Committees. As members of that Committee, we did not have a chance to look at the reports of the Deputy Principal Secretary because of our absentee Chairman. In this case, Hon. Speaker, I seek your guidance because, as a Committee, we are disadvantaged. We have not had an input pertaining to this ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to explain to my good friend, Hon. Millie, that when this list was being prepared, it was being done proportionately. Since the Jubilee side had more numbers, they were to bring in 12 Members and we, from CORD, brought in seven Members. Statistics do not lie. We can have narratives, but it is also good to look at the numbers. We have 19 Members in the CDF Committee. We have 290 constituencies. The elected women Members who won in the constituencies are 16. If you use simple mathematics, 16 out of 290 multiply by 10 will ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank those who supported this and particularly the Chair of the Committee, Hon. Amina Abdalla. She has been in the frontline in terms of leadership of that Committee. I also thank the Senate for the support because they brought some amendments which added value though we had others which were not very good, for instance, the issue of not involving the civil society. Through the wisdom of this House, we managed to bring another amendment to reject that so that they could be involved. This is while looking at the Sustainable ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, that was a different debate, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: That was on the issue of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Committee. The one we have just reconstituted. It was on the issue of gender balance, where we talked about the proportion in terms of the numbers. It was an earlier Motion. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have listened very carefully to my friend, Hon. Baiya, the Chair of the CIOC moving the Motion. I have also read the Report and some of the critical issues he has brought up are true. However, there are also other critical issues that we must examine and determine what we will do. For instance, in line with Section 15 of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, it is true that one of the critical functions of the TA was the transfer of functions, but it is not limited to that alone. If you ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: going through problems in terms of cash flow. We have very many functions stalling where monies have not been enough. If at all this was a critical issue that made the TA not to have enough funds for purposes of auditing and transfer of these assets, what should we do so that we do not lose these billions? My friend, Hon. Baiya, whom I respect very much has indicated that the issue of the new Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee is going to do residual functions. Another critical function of the TA was the issue of unbundling of the functions of ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: There was a case in court on the casinos and betting control. It was ruled by Justice Lenaola. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: With time I can give you that. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, I will table that, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In his ruling, he said that this matter should be referred to the TA. So, if the TA, which the matter has been referred to ceases to exit, who is going to do this? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need your guidance as far as this is concerned. However, the most important thing which Kenyans are concerned about is the risk analysis or opportunity cost. How sure are we that Kenyans are not going to lose the billions in the many assets that have not been audited or transferred? The issue ... view
