• 5 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I wish to thank the Chairman and the Committee on Budget and Appropriations. I also want to thank them for having done bottom-up budgeting where they have been able to involve the population. The first item which I want to pick out instantly is the Constituencies Development Fund. I want to share with the Chairman that this is the only money that leaves the National Treasury and leaves trail of how it has been used. It is also the single national resource that our people have been able to ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I am disappointed that Members just walk into the Chamber and have all sorts of suggestions. 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
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: That is a serious distraction to debate in this House. I will abide by the three minutes. It is okay with me. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity, I wish to support this Report by the Committee on Regional Integration. Regional integration in East Africa is anchored on four pillars of common market, custom union, monetary union and political federation.

• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The other one is the East African Community Co-operative Society Bill, which has been suggested. Throughout this region, Kenya contributes a lot in terms of co- operative movements. Extending our business to other regions is a big advantage to us. view

• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chair for his response. I think if we proceed this way in responding to issues of serious national concern, then we will be encouraging our communities to continue fighting. I want to ask for three clarifications. There are over 50,000 inhabitants of Moyale who are refugees in Ethiopia. What is their fate? Have they returned? I believe by saying that there is peace, it means then those inhabitants must have returned to their homes. The second clarification is on the Committee of Administration and National Security, which is not an ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. In fact, I am really disappointed by the Statement being given by the Chairman. He says that this is an issue of serious national security concerns, yet he still goes ahead to say that his Committee does not have enough money to go to that site, which is in the Republic of Kenya. Hon. Duba might provide some of his CDF money, so that that Committee visits that area. Is he in order to say that his Committee lacks enough funds to address an issue of national security? view

• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The second clarification is on the Committee of Administration and National Security, which is not an extension of the Executive. Does that Committee plan to visit Moyale so that they are able to establish, through first hand information, whether the issues raised by hon. Members are pertinent or otherwise? view
