• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment by His Excellency the President. I am a Member of the Committee. Initially, when this matter went for arbitration, we got a lot of pressure on it. But we ceded because of other issues. It has, however, come back to us again. I support the same and feel that not all procurements are of the same nature. Every procurement should be looked into on its own merit and the prevailing circumstances, situations and the monies concerned. If we put it at 50/50 that will be dictatorship because somebody ... view

• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second. Given the importance of this issue and necessity of time, we need to extend our Sitting. Thank you. view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, albeit with some reservations. The budget process in any country is the backbone of the economy. It is the kingpin which shows the direction in which the country is moving, especially in terms of development and finances. It has to be taken seriously and have full participation of all, especially us Members of Parliament, who are tasked to pass the same. view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: As it transpired this morning, many Members had reservations as to how the Budget and Appropriations Committee comes up with the estimates and concludes a report. Personally, I feel that we need to integrate, especially the Committees which do budgets, especially their chairmen, so that the final report is not punched holes by the various committees, which also participate in its making one way or the other. I strongly believe that the Budget and Appropriations Committee should do the secondary work of finalizing everything with the National Treasury having collected enough data from the departments, which are tasked to also ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Having said that, this year’s Budget for 2015/2016, should have focused more especially on food production; we know that most parts of our country are arid. We should remember that His Excellency the President said that there will be a lot of investment in terms of doing irrigation and building dams. When I looked at this report, I found that the estimates given - I had even participated in a meeting where the President mentioned the issue of dams, especially in Meru region - did not have what the President said. Despite the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Tourism is an industry in this country which we tend to ignore. When I look at the estimates, the figures given for the promotion of tourism--- I have seem that tourism in Kenya is almost on its knees; we should have looked at it deeply, especially as far as infrastructure is concerned. Roads to our tourist attraction centers, security and promotion of tourism through our embassies in our foreign missions should be looked at. What was given to the tourism industry--- Personally, I find that Kshs10 billion is not enough given that it is only Kshs7 billion that will go ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Education is the backbone of our human resource development. We have had problems, especially when it comes to the issuance of bursaries to our school students. We have the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), which is supposed to give our university students money, so that those who come from needy families get money. I am sorry to say that HELB is there in writing but whatever they give to our students is minimal to the extent that even if they are given something, some of them drop out of school and, therefore, we need to invest more in it. view
