• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. As my friend, Hon. Thuku, explained, Members would like to know what the current law says. He is talking of discrimination. He needs to qualify that for better understanding by Members. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With due respect, Hon. Maoka Maore is an old Member of this House. There is a procedure on how to present a Motion. So, the Motion must be moved first before he comes in with his arguments. Can he follow the procedure? I know he is a senior Member of this House. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to second. Indeed, Hon. Maoka Maore has highlighted some of the critical issues affecting the NG- CDF. Every village you go to, you will find a project by NG-CDF. This is a very critical Fund, which must be followed. I am happy on the Schedule. He has shown how the disbursement has been done. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: As we move on, I think it is important for the NG-CDF Board and the National Treasury, when disbursing funds, to do so promptly. I am saying this because during this financial year, when schools were opening, there was no money because it had not been released. This brought a lot of inconveniences. We have so many bright children from poor families who cannot go to school and rely on the NG-CDF. If these funds are released when schools have already opened, it is useless. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: We have seen many children, particularly those who did Standard Eight and had a specific timeframe for them to join Form One. Some of them lost their positions because they did not manage to report on time. In future, it is important for the NG-CDF Board and the National Treasury to adhere to the timelines when it comes to releasing these funds. If they release five months down the line, it will be useless. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: As we speak right now, the funds that were initially released were mainly used for administrative purposes and paying employees’ salaries. Majority of the MPs have not yet released the bursary funds. As we move forward, we are calling upon the constituencies that have not released their project proposals to the NG-CDF Board to move with speed. Otherwise, this is a good Fund. How I wish that in future we can increase its allocation from 2.5 per cent to something like 5 per cent. It is the only Fund that is being felt. I have gone The electronic version of ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: to many counties and the money they get is not felt in some of the villages. As I aspire to become a governor, God willing in 2022 - I am not declaring but aspiring. There is a difference between aspiring and declaring. My colleagues need to learn the difference. I am not declaring there is a difference. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thought Hon. Oundo is a fast learner only to realise he is a slow leaner. I did not come here to declare. There is a difference between aspiring and declaring. Maybe, they are synonyms, he needs to refer to the Oxford English Dictionary, for further understanding. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: As I said earlier, the NG-CDF Act has undergone a lot of transformation or metamorphism. Many amendments have gone to this law. Now it is called the NG-CDF. It is important as we move forward, to look for a framework for increasing it from 2.5 per cent. This is the time for an impact analysis to be done on how NG-CDF has transformed villages. For instance, when you come to my region, we have shortage of land and I am focusing on storey buildings. I have started something called Operation Matope Out (OMO) . All the schools in my constituency ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: . Pupils being infested with jiggers is now history. However, these funds are never enough. As we move forward, I know there is a Government policy of not introducing new schools. It is becoming very difficult to register new schools. As we try to move forward towards the 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary school, it is indeed important that we must also reduce the distance our children walk to school. This is where we introduce new secondary schools through the use of NG-CDF. However, we are getting frustrated when it comes to the Ministry of Education. This ... view
