• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: has now become a place of collecting money and I do not know for whom. In my constituency, I am trying to register so many companies for the youth, women and the disabled people and every time there is a seminar here and there, you have to pay an attendance fee of up to Kshs15,000. This is just for sending one person from a company to attend a seminar in Nairobi. They are just, again, centralizing everything in Nairobi. They do not have any business to do. They do not realize that there is devolution and they can do that ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: So, the purpose of NCA now seems to be wanting in the sense that it is becoming a place where they are making money. More so, if you look at the requirements for the tenders which are given, they indicate the classes of NCA. You must be Class 7, Class 8 or Class 6 and above. For you to acquire that class as a youth group, women group or a disabled group, you have to pay Kshs50,000. That is the current amount that is being charged irrespective of these other penalties that are being stated here. So, we are pleading ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: So, I concur and support the annulment because it is against the law. We also want the Committee on Delegated Legislation to go further and ask about the Kshs50,000 that the NCA are asking for a group to qualify to be classified in those classes. However, of course, when an investor walks in and wants to follow the due process of building, construction or something like that, then I think it is important that we accept that NCA is the right direction to go. But we need to apply some brakes on some of the issues they are doing. view

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to concur with Hon. Muchai that you have given guidance. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead the House that this House is at war or that it has created enemity with MCAs over their foreign trips? It is not on record that this House has discussed foreign trips of MCAs; it is the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget who have come up with it. So, basically it is something that arose outside this House. view

• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you. It is a clarification to the Leader of Majority Party. I want to know the number of KDF personnel that has been deployed in Lamu and whether they are enough. If they are not enough, when do they want to increase the number of KDF in Lamu? view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. You have made it very clear that we will be doing ourselves some injustice by continuing with this Statement. However, based on what the Chairman has said, I seek your directive. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I am a Member of the Committee and yesterday when we were deliberating on this issue, the issue of the summoning of the Cabinet Secretary and others came up; we The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: were advised by the Clerk of the Committee that it takes seven days for us to be able to summon people. I need your direction because if we wait for the seven days when they are reporting on 5th August and the report is coming on 4th August--- Maybe you could direct that we change that. This is due to the emergency in the matter, yet we want the Cabinet Secretary to appear before us within the shortest period of time. I was seeking some directive from you. We were thinking of meeting him tomorrow, but the Clerk of the ... view
