• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: It is progress, Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Leader of the Majority Party needs to know that I also have a say in this House as a senior Member. During public participation, he participated on the same in his constituency. He was present. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Which document do we expect from the National Treasury yet it appeared from this Committee and concurred with the Committee? There is no legal document that the National Treasury is supposed to furnish the Committee for us to consider legislation in this House. If we go in that direction, we are going to mess up. Tomorrow morning, anybody can say he has an agreement or document that he has to submit before the House even if it is not necessary. Our responsibility, as Members of Parliament, is to legislate, discuss it, whichever way, whether yes or no. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: In my opinion, this legislation must go through. We require this money like yesterday. We actually spent Government money to travel to 32 counties to allow Kenyans to express themselves on whether we increase the National Government Constituencies Development Fund from the 2.5 per cent to 5 per cent. We should be told if somebody has a different view because this document was approved. 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
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: My concern is that we require this time to campaign in our constituencies, not to be used by the Speaker to postpone matters and waste our time here. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am so disappointed with the response from the Chair. The Cabinet Secretary has consistently violated the law in releasing funds. If you are the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and you are supposed to release funds every quarter, and we have received less funds for this quarter against the law, what happens? Two, how many times do we have to raise this issue in this House? Do we have to protest so that we are given funds? We are talking about engaging the leadership of this House. I am sure the Cabinet Secretary is ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I give credit to our Chairman for the wonderful presentation this afternoon. The Hon. Member for Gatanga has made a very critical statement. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I do. He was a Member of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives when I was the Vice-Chairman. If indeed this Government has exceeded the target in terms of revenue collection, then we have enough funds in our accounts. We are getting the 2.5 per cent of the national collection. The Government has collected more revenue than it required for the last financial quarter. They should give us the funds unconditionally. Otherwise, we should have this discussion more often. Secondly, what is wrong with the current Cabinet Secretary such that we have to discuss the issue of Exchequer ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Whip and the Leader of the Majority Party are discussing about the agenda that touches on this session. view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as we speak our children are at home for lack of bursaries. The National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Board has not received funds for our constituencies. I do not want to have a situation like what happened in the last Session when I rose and said that there would be no transaction on the Budget in this House unless the funds were disbursed to the constituencies. I want clearance from the Leader of the Majority Party that we are going to be given NG-CDF before we discuss the Supplementary Budget. Otherwise, we will shut down the ... view
