• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: distance of 10 kilometres, is classified as a class C road and is currently under construction to bitumen standards by KERRA? (iii) When will the Cabinet Secretary address the anomaly onclassification and maintenance of roads? view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Motion on the NG-CDF by the Chair of the Committee, Hon. Maoka Maore, who happens to be my neighbour back at home. We have talked about NG-CDF at length in different forums. There was another Motion by the Special Funds Accounts Committee which was concluded just this afternoon. We were talking about NG-CDF. The bottom line is that this is the only Fund which I can say is felt at the grassroots in our communities. I thank the MPs who introduced it in the 7th ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: not disbursed the AIE. There is a heap of them there and they are yet to be signed. The CEO comes in and out. Chair, you need to look into that with your Committee so that it can be followed up. This Fund needs to be relooked. I pray that the Committee sits down and relooks into it so that we change some of the laws especially that bit of oversight which has no funding. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if there is an oversight committee which is led by the Member of Parliament, it needs some funding so that we ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Unfortunately, I was in the Parliament which equalised these funds among 290 constituencies. However, using natural justice, we cannot say that we are all equal as a country, constituencies or individuals. If we parade 290 Members of Parliament here, there are some who are tall, short, heavy and light. Why do we say that each constituency should get the same amount of money without looking at other factors in that particular constituency, like the terrain, climate, levels of education, how many schools are there and how many have been developed, population and so many other factors? If we find there ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: If those amendments are brought to this House, I will support them because that is what we need most. There are Members who have funds which they do not use and others have excess. I talked about it here the other day. I remember the Leader of the Minority Party commented on it. I was sincerely candid about it. There are those constituencies which have well up people who take their children to big and expensive schools. Hon. Members shop for people to give bursaries and some give scholarships. I struggle to see how I can share Kshs20 million among ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, let me commend the Committee, but we need them to put more muscle. They should crack the whip. We should not lament in this House that there are delays and that there are problems. Let the Committee see them even before we realise they are there. I support the ultimatum of disbursement of funds at the end of this month, so that we can complete the projects which we had already proposed and promised the people. Our people will not understand that there is a problem in the National Treasury and that the NG-CDF Board is not releasing money. ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I support the Motion. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee. I support it. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: First and foremost, let me thank the 12th Parliament for coming up with this committee because it was not there in the last Parliament. It double-checks what the Auditor-General does and the auditors from the NG-CDF Board who go round in our constituencies to check on what is being done. This is a very healthy practice for this Fund. There is a team from the NG-CDF Board which goes to the ground to check the facts and audit what is there and the Auditor- General also audits. We have a third arm here from this Parliament which looks at the ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: believe that other counties will follow. Therefore, I tell the Committee to keep up and keep on doing that because it is a good move. view
