• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: As we approach the amendment of some Standing Orders, we will be proposing that if some of these things get your approval, they should be passing through the Liaison Committee. They can be scrutinised and we can get some guidance. Otherwise, we will be resolving most of the resolutions here - which we cannot. For example, we have heard the Senate saying that they have a lot of work that is pending in their tray. These are some of the resolutions that they are supposed to be taking from us. I hope that the Senate is listening. We had an ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I remember when we were checking the health issues, we visited Trans-Mara County. The Governor told us that there is nothing much we can do other than just receive the information that they are going to give us. So, we are also thinking of how best we can work together in liaison with the Senate Committee on Implementation so that they can take up those matters that are supposed to be implemented by the counties. It is very unfortunate that monies have been given for purposes of implementation, but the counties do not effect that implementation. Take for example, the ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: When we went to Mombasa, they had given less than 1 per cent of the budget to handle waste management. One per cent in a county like Mombasa for purposes of waste management is very little. We were thinking of proposing that some of those critical functions need to be ring- fenced so that when we give money just the way we do for health, we can also give for other duties. This is something that we need to ask ourselves. As a Committee, once we have gone round and have indicated that this is the implementation status and this ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Last weekend, we went to Turkana County to check on the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) issue. We do not know how to report back on the findings that we got from Turkana County. Do we make a recommendation on what we found out and what is the best thing that we need to do? That is because when we went to check on the KPRs, we found out that they are there. The law was enacted last year and it gave the guidelines on how to recruit KPRs. However, we are also being told: “You cannot do that!” So, those ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The other issue that we need to check is the leniency of sanctions. Some Cabinet Secretaries are not communicating to us. Some of them sit and give us some very shallow reports. So, what are we supposed to do? So, it is important for us to start thinking of how best we can--- The very last issues that we have are the resolutions that are waiting consideration by the Committee, and which are very weighty. But some of them can be found. For Kenyans who are waiting to be duly registered in order to be given identification cards (IDs), the ... view
