• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to ask Question by Private Notice No. 009 of 2019: (i) Is the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs aware of the arrest of one Charles Salim Mwadime, a Kenyan of Passport No.A1247191, from Wundanyi Constituency by the French Authorities at Remiremonte Town in France and subsequent detention since 28th August 2018? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary inform the actions taken by the Kenya Embassy in France to secure the release of Mr. Charles Salim Mwadime and further ensure that he gets legal representation? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Motion by the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) of the Financial Year 2019/2020. We expected the National Treasury to give us a more detailed BPS this year, but not just to bring a document like it has been the norm. It comes every February to this House, but it does not spell in details the policies that we expect to inform the Budget Estimates that will come in May, and the Budget that will be presented to this House in June. There are a few things ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We have been talking about the Big Four Agenda that His Excellency the President presented to the country. All of us embrace it. Surprisingly, the figures of the Big Four Agenda in the BPS are coming down. It is clear that the Big Four Agenda will remain a dream that will not be achieved. When the National Treasury presented the BPS to this House, they talked about creation of employment and transformation of lives. However, it is a pity because the National Treasury is not coming up with policies that indicate that they are genuine in creation of employment for ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Let me talk about the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation. We have so many cartels there, including those undertaking importation of eggs. This country can produce enough eggs to feed this country. However, we import eggs today from as far as South Africa. This tells you that the eggs that come from other countries are not charged duty. If they are charged duty, there is no way an egg from South Africa can be cheaper than an egg in Nairobi or in other parts of this country. If there is a Government’s policy through the BPS to create ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: My colleague has spoken about pending bills. It is true that people who run Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) out there are crying. The Government says that it wants to support SMEs every now and then. We have denied them the ability to have enough cash flows, so that they can employ more of our young people and other Kenyans because most of these debts are not paid. We know that our counties and the national Government have pending bills. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: 33 Thursday, 28th February 2019(P) view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: A commission needs to be set up to investigate the problem we have with pending bills. Some figures have been thrown around. The Government borrows billions through unorthodox means. Having pending bills means that the Government has borrowed services, and they are unable to pay. If it is computed to the public debt, it would increase it. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Before I conclude, I want to believe that it is time for this country or the President to declare corruption a national disaster. It is a pity that every headline of newspapers you buy in this country today talks about corruption. The country is losing billions. This country is losing a lot of resources into people’s pockets. I am not certain that our institutions have capacity to handle corruption as we see it on a day to day basis. That is why I would like to urge the President to declare corruption a national disaster, so that all of us ... view
