• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: So, it is even a wonder how this fund has survived. I must thank the four PSs who sit in this committee because they are so punctual and they cancel so many other Government activities to participate. This is because the moment one of them misses or has travelled out of the country, there is no quorum and without quorum, there are so many important decisions on projects which cannot be made by that particular board. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, it is very important - and I pronounced myself on this one - on the 10th and 11th Parliament that the CEO who has faithfully served for many years... I can assure you it is very difficult for any Government officer to satisfy MPs. They are very thorough and they scrutinise activities very well. Every MP who has been to that office has seen how the acting CEO, Mr. Yusuf Mbuno, has served them. This House has even pronounced itself that Mr. Yusuf Mbuno be confirmed with immediate effect, in the 11th Parliament. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: It is surprising that this order of this Honourable House has not been complied with. Therefore, the other seven Members of that board should also be confirmed with immediate effect. We have many MPs who lost their seats and who understood NG-CDF very well and are very competent. Some of them sat in the NG-CDF Committee. All those Members are eligible to come and assist us manage that very important fund .We have many other Kenyans of good standing who can be board members and so the ministry in charge should move with speed. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: This confirmation happens with the proposal from the Cabinet Secretary and a confirmation of this House. I am sure this House, on its part, is more than willing to appoint this very important board under the law. The CEO’s matter should be dealt with immediate effect. So, there has been that challenge and I believe it is within our realm to participate as a House and ensure that one of the boards which serve us is in place and can serve Kenyans as soon as possible and in the most effective way. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: That way, development projects which need the approval of the board will be handled with a lot of care, speed and accountability.

Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: level, it comes to the NG-CDF. If that board does not exist, then the members of staff in that body have been working very well. It will be very encouraging when they have a full board. So, this matter must be handled with immediate effect. It should become a concern of each and every single Member here. The employees of the board, most of them having felt that because they have been working with the NG-CDF and the people could make it, resigned to go and run against us in many constituencies and they lost terribly. Other than the Chairmen ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I also would like to say that there were many bad apples among those managers and some kept being shifted from one constituency to another. I remember one time one of them misused funds and he faced the wrath of the people. He was killed by a mob in one of the constituencies in the country. An inquiry followed in the courts and it was never known who killed that manager. Other managers also took advantage of the absence of the MPs when they were debating here and did tricky things in a few constituencies. Members of Parliament in those ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to mourn with the family of Hon. Nyarangi Moturi. This is one of the former Members of Parliament who have been good examples to a lot of young people. He has stayed in business and politics. In fact, he started his political party which he used to vie for a senatorial seat. This means that he was an active politician until his demise. We want to mourn with the people of Borabu led by the next governor of Nyamira. We had opportunity to visit the area, and you can see he ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I also thank Hon. Jomo Washiali for being very considerate and thoughtful of this matter, which is very serious and also, for providing statistics showing 235 children who went through a very trying moment when those matters happened. view
