• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: So, because we know this matter went to court and there was a determination, we are calling upon the National Treasury to take action. I have looked around and I cannot see this amount of money. I am saying this because like the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) we are supposed to benefit. You are aware about this and we need to get our billions back so that we can strengthen political parties when it comes to matters of democracy. view
• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Lastly, the universities are suffering because of underfunding. We are having problems in universities because we do not have enough allocation of money. When it comes to the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) we have heard of slay queens. These are students looking for sponsors because HELB is not given enough money to support them. The HELB is important if we want to advance education in this country. It should be given more money. view
• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: When it comes to NG-CDF we are now doing 50 per cent. The financial year has ended and yet the National Treasury has not released the 100 per cent money which is required. This is very unfortunate and we must relook at this issue of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) benefits. This is because the National Treasury has been using it for their selfish interest. view
• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: When it comes to the counties, again devolution is there to stay. Therefore, we should increase the money allocated to the counties so that devolution can work. The Budget and Appropriations Committee has done very well, but there is so much that needs to be improved. I do not know what the Government Advisory Services is for. If it is for Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) it is okay because we brought a Motion in Parliament both in the National Assembly and the Senate. There is need for referendum and we should provide this money here. I can see money for ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, this is a very important Petition. We are aware that even the Governor of Nandi, who is now in custody, was on a similar matter. We need some clarity in terms of the expiry of this lease. Who should be given preference? My colleague has cited that particular section of consultation. I do not think it is taking place. We know there are a lot of historical injustices in this country and it is under the function of the NLC. It is unfortunate we have not finalised on the issue of NLC. We are praying ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of my family and the people of Kiminini, I want to convey a message of condolence to the family of Hon. Fredrick Oduya Oprong. The late Assistant Minister played a very critical role as far as the peace between the Bukusu and Teso is concerned. There were a lot of clashes before. The late Assistant Minister played a critical role in bringing the two communities together. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: He was a very humble man. I heard about him when I was still in school. I visited the family which is in a very sorry state. This is very critical, particularly to the Parliamentary Service Commission. We need to do something to our colleagues who left this Parliament. They played a very critical role in legislation and are now living in poverty. You do not need to go far. When you go to our mess, you find many of them there languishing. They have been asking how far we have gone as far as their plight is concerned. I ... view

• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. Parliament is a House of records. This is not the first time we are vetting ambassadors and high commissioners. I acknowledge the good work that has been done by the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations under the leadership of Hon. ole Metito. I served in that Committee in the last Parliament. An ambassador is a representative of the President. He is there to protect the interests of the country. One thing I want to note is that the Committee is in order. Looking at these Kenyans, they have what ... view
