• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my time is being taken up and yet I have been waiting since 2.30 p.m. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me. We follow the seating arrangement. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: This is a very important matter I wish to support. Currently and averagely, every county government in Kenya has received close to Kshs80 billion. When it comes to local revenue collection, it takes place day and night. It happens in hospitals. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is taking place day and night. It is happening in the hospitals, at roadblocks and also whenever there is transportation of goods, advertisement of products. Therefore, the growth of the economy since the devolution whereby we now have county governments, I am very sure now, from what county governments do, they must have improved ten times. However, the tragedy is that this money is not accounted for and a lot of times, it does not even reach county governments. It simply disappears with the officials of the county governments. Right now, when county governments are ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: So, these amendments make it very clear and we are looking forward to improve them more at the Committee of the whole House stage, so that we can make sure that the revenues collected at the counties are not lost at all and that any revenue collected by the national or county governments must be appropriated in one way or another.

These are the people who should be protected. Within the law, we should have a certain way or standard so that if you have been charged in Mombasa County, then the other counties, because you are using ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, it is very important that we come up with a law, standard, methodology and system. Administratively, even now, I suggest that there should be paybill numbers for every single payment made to the counties. If they are not provided with paybill numbers, then they should not be allowed to make payments to individuals. That is happening with a lot of other activities in the counties including payment of water bills. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to support. view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to condole with the people of Kaiti Constituency, Makueni County and generally the people of Kenya. The late Hon. Maingi left Parliament and was not elected again. The constituency included some parts of what is now Machakos Town Constituency. It was quite a challenge to represent those days due to the large masses. When Hon. Maingi left politics, he continued to be a community leader and was very good in advising young leaders like ourselves, when the constituencies were later on split. He also participated in a lot of activities of ... view
