• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am getting to that! view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is a serious Bill. What is serious about it is that marriage is not a one day event - it is a life process. If we are going to make it pedestrian, that will not augur well for this country. Therefore, I strongly suggest that this House must debate this Bill when it is almost two thirds so that we do not pass pedestrian Bills here. view

• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Report by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). I think reading through the volume of this Report, I see how much work has gone into putting it together. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, from the outset, although many of the hon. Members are saying the Reports have delayed, unless we do a forensic audit and interrogation of how public funds are used, I think we may not be able to project what will be the development of Kenya in the future. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: One of the clear areas that come to light is things like excess expenditure that has not been authorised by the National Assembly. I think this in itself is violation of the Constitution; not a single cent should be used or utilised by any Ministry or Governmental organisation without due authorisation by the National Assembly.

This is really glaring particularly at the county level. Also, 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
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: through this Report we also are experiencing the same problems at the national level because in 2009 up to 2010 there were really no county governments. So, apparently it is as if we are trying to shelve or load the problems which were bedeviling the national Government down to the grassroots. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: So, I will not be really surprised that at the end of the current financial year, maybe 60 or so per cent of monies allocated to the counties might go to the Recurrent Expenditure and also a lot of it will not have been utilised for the purposes they were meant for. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I think we have sat here long hours waiting to contribute to these Reports and it is really important. It is not just a passing cloud. That is why we are saying that PAC has done very serious work and the National Assembly must give voice to some of the idiosyncrasies that we see in these Reports. view
