• 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
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: they get babies in the vehicles when they are on their way to health centres. I urge the counties to make sure that they put up these facilities and allocate enough money on the same. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: There is also an issue of water. There is perennial problem of water, especially in the arid areas. There is a big chunk of an area in my county which is affected, especially in Igembe North, Igembe Central, Tigania East, Tigania West and Buuri. Those five constituencies have a big chunk which connects us with our sisters and brothers in Isiolo County. It is quite arid. We require a lot of water. Enough money should be allocated for water. Sometimes I get surprised when counties say that they have no money. At the end of the day, they purchase 10 ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: We have Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes which are under the county governments. They are neglected. Most of our schools do not have them. I urge the county governments to allocate enough funds to put up good classrooms for our toddlers who go to school. Sometimes they learn in very poor facilities. They are very young. They need to be taken very seriously. They are very delicate. They need proper classes to start their education journey. Therefore, they should put up enough classrooms and allocate funds for teachers. If you go to my constituency, and I believe in many others, ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, let us, at least, start from the National Treasury, the Senate, this august House, county assemblies to the departments of our local governments, have a timeframe within which to allocate the funds and follow the due process in sharing the money so that we do not talk about delays in paying bills and other things. I urge that we use money prudently so that we develop our country and leave it better than we found it. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of my family, the great people of Igembe Central and on my own behalf, I pass my condolences to the family of Jakoyo Midiwo who happened to be my colleague in the last Parliament. He was an astute debater. He had a lot of interpersonal capacities. He was one of the few Members of Parliament who would really challenge Hon. Duale in this House. He was very sincere in his debate. Also, when he meant to oppose something, he opposed it with a lot of reason and caution. If he had to appreciate anything, ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for according me this opportunity to comment on this Petition. Several Petitions of a similar kind have been tabled in this august House but we have not seen much result. This is more so in respect of human-wildlife conflict in areas which border these national parks is perennial. The last time we met KWS staff with my Committee, we told them to budget. They should not wait for the Exchequer to give them 100 per cent of the amount of money they want so that they can compensate the people who get injured, harmed or even ... view
