• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Chairman. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, I would humbly request that you take Hon. Nyikals’ request seriously because we are seated in this House but we are in the dark. We can see a lot of activity there because you have the papers, but we do not have any. We cannot be flower girls here. We need to have those papers too, so that we can see what is being done. I humbly request that we stop this business until we all get a copy of this document. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I requested for a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2) (c), from the Chairperson of the State Department of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, regarding the closure of miraa market in Somalia and the suspension of all flights to Somalia. There was the issue of crops which were turned down at the airport. This Statement was very crucial for the people of Igembe and up to now I am yet to receive a response. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I sought a Statement from the Chairperson for the Departmental Committee of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No. 30 of 2021). view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Let me thank the Senate for coming up with the formula of sharing revenue and allocating the money to each and every county in this country. It took some time because there was a stalemate. At least, they came up with a formula of distributing revenue to the counties. Our role is to pass the Bill, so that this money can trickle down to our counties for development. With devolution, this is the money which should be felt at the grassroots level in the village and each and every corner of our country. The NG-CDF also trickles to each and ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I urge the Senate that, in future, it should be doing these things on time so that money is released to the counties on time. When this money goes to the counties, there will be another process in the county assembly to allocate it to the wards and various programmes which also takes some time. The National Treasury should release the money appropriately within time, so that we do not have the problem of pending bills that we have in most of our counties now. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Pending bills have been mentioned in this House this evening. They have become a thorn in the flesh within the counties. Many people blame the governors or Members of the County Executive Committee (CECs) who are in charge of finance. Many people who are given contracts use their resources. They borrow money from the banks and then they give collateral of their properties. After doing the job which was allocated to them, it takes too long to pay them until the banks start demanding for payment. They put a lot of interest on it because they become bad debts. This ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Each county has its issues, problems and unique needs. The semi-arid and arid counties have infrastructure and water issues. It is up to the individual county assemblies to allocate money where it rightly belongs. They should allocate their money where development will be seen and the common mwananchi will benefit. Through my experience in Meru County, I emphasise that they should allocate enough money in infrastructure. We have very poor or dilapidated roads in Meru County which is quite hilly. People do not get to their homes. They use motorbikes or go on foot. Meru County has ward fund which ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I also want to emphasise that they should allocate more money in health which has become a problem. We need more health centres and facilities to be close to the people more than the churches or schools. Each and every ward should have at least one, two or three health centres. People should not travel to go and seek medical assistance or services from far away. There are some people in my place like expectant mothers who sometimes travel for almost 15 kilometres, so that they can get to the nearest health centre or facility to be served or get ... view
