• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: If that is the case then, is it in order? view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the amendment. In basic skills of report writing, there must be a logical follow on in any report. When it comes to observations, they lead to conclusions and recommendations. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the Committee report, as my colleague has mentioned, says that hon. Mututho is the best suited for the position. So, logically, it shows that this is the best person for this position. The way it has been highlighted at Article 50 of the Constitution, the principle of being innocent until the contrary is proved--- The issue here is for Mr. Mututho to wait and see if at all the court is going to ruling otherwise; if it rules against him, it is my humble submission that he will have to resign. But in this case, I support. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support these regulations. First before that I want to thank Mheshimiwa Metito for giving me two minutes. Seventy per cent of unemployed people in this country are the youth. So, this is the Fund that we must guard carefully. I want to go on record as saying that there is no fight between the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs) and the constituency Members of Parliament. When it comes to Uwezo Fund we are going to work together as a team, so that we are able to deliver. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have had Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT). In my constituency I have had problems with this Women Fund; people in this Fund always follow up on women. They are not even sleeping in their own houses. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: When it comes to this Fund, we want to call upon the beneficiaries to know that it is a loan and they are supposed to pay it back. That is very critical when it comes to capacity building. It is not free money and we do not want what is happening to the women through the KWFT to happen to this Uwezo Fund, because it is a pity. In my constituency, I have been seeing people having problems. They cannot even sleep in their own houses because they are being harassed by the KWFT agents. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we must put a Monitoring and Evaluation (M and E) framework in place, so that we are able to follow up projects in order to make them a success. When you look at this, the issue of SACCOS is very critical. We can have a clear framework with the co-operatives, so that these funds can be channeled through these SACCOS; this is very easy because SACCOS have something called FOSAs. Some of these people might not be able to go to banks. I am also telling this House that we should not go for the six ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. Before I make my comments, I want to quote what Martin Luther King Junior said. He said that the true measure of a leader is in decision making. It is decision making, not in times of comfort and convenience, but in terms of difficulties and challenges, like today. Therefore, I am calling upon hon. Members to debate this issue objectively. This is a House of debate, rules and procedures. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Article 251 (2) states as follows:- “A person desiring the removal of a member a commission or of a holder of an independent office on any ground specified in clause (1) may present a petition to the National Assembly setting out the alleged facts constituting that ground.” Hon. Speaker, Sir, if you allow me, I want to read clause (1). It states as follows:- Article 251 (1) “A member of the commission (other than an ex officio member), or the holder of an independent office, may be removed from office only for – (a) serious violation of this Constitution or ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Of course he is a Kenyan, but we need to know him. He never appeared before the Committee. When you talk of a petition--- Standing Order is very clear. We are looking at precedent set. Unless I am wrong, any petition that comes--- This is a petition. There is no oath taken here and we are relying on this petition. That is point number one. view
