• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on the reduction of the allocation to the Judiciary, I was just looking at the special report that was done by the Auditor-General on the Judiciary. Indeed, he has shown that there was massive corruption. Some of the offices were acquired without following the proper process of the law in terms of procurement. So, that reduction shows that there was so much money that was being wasted. 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
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the money that has been allocated to the Judiciary I think should focus more on its core business. Under Article 22 of the Constitution on enforcement of the Bill of Rights, Article 50 on fair hearing and on reasonable access to public service in all parts of this country, this cannot be fully realised if the courts remain out of reach for the majority of the Kenyans. So, the money that has been allocated will add value if at all the Judiciary is going to move and establish a division of the High Court in most of the ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, at Independence our forefathers were fighting hunger, disease, ignorance and poverty and 50 years since Independence we are still faced with these same problems. So, the allocation that has been made towards irrigation is going to contribute in a big way in as far as food security of this country is concerned. view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when you look at the Millennium Development Goal number one, it talks about eradication of extreme poverty and food insecurity. So, the allocation that has been given in terms of irrigation will, in a big way, help in terms of food security. However, I had expected allocation to be given for fertiliser. I have gone through the report, but I cannot see anything. Maybe at a later stage we should look for a way of getting a fund towards fertiliser. Fertiliser is very critical when it comes to food production. As far as I am concerned, even if ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when you look at the allocation under universities, to me, it is very insignificant. We have not had any allocation when it comes to research. The core business of universities is to do research but if you do not do any allocation, you will find that many universities cannot do any research. We live in an environment which is very dynamic. You might develop a product or a service that is relevant at the moment because of the prevailing circumstances in the market but ten years down the line, we need to change and diversify that product to ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when it comes to allocation to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) we have many people behind bars who are not even criminals. They are innocent but because of the poor investigation that has been done by the people in the office of the DPP, maybe because they do not have the capacity, competence and proper training, you find these people are behind bars. So, we should have awarded more money to the office of the DPP because this office plays a very critical role as far as fighting crime is concerned. So, it is ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), I am happy to note that more allocation has been given. This is a very important service because it is there to improve the welfare of Parliamentarians. Hon. Speaker, looking at Article 95 of the Constitution, you will find that the National Assembly is there to provide oversight, it is there to legislate and to represent people. With these allocations, it is going to aid in a big way in improving the welfare of legislators. We do know that most people do not have offices; those who have them, they are at KICC which is ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to seek clarifications from the Chair who has just given the Statement, and my good friend. Indeed, you have just mentioned that the Government does not have any data to show this. What plans is the Government putting in place so as to have this data and when will that be effected? We understand that recently, His Excellency the Deputy President was in Trans-Nzoia issuing title deeds, and some of the people who benefited are regrouping with the intention of benefiting a second time. Again, among the people who benefitted, some were not genuine ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Trans Nzoia is the mother and father of the squatters. Unfortunately, other squatters have come from other regions. We know very well some came from Rift Valley and were settled in Trans Nzoia. view
