• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the report by the Budget Committee and more so I take this opportunity to thank the Committee for the contribution and the good work they have done within such a short period. Secondly, I want to thank His Excellency the President, as you have informed the House that he has already assented to the Division of Revenue Bill. This is because the President had said he would adhere to the Constitution. I think he only did that on the basis of what the Act required of him to do. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I think the Committee, as it has informed, the 34 per cent to the county governments is way above what the Constitution has given of 15 per cent. Maybe this is just to reiterate and advise the county governments that they should not concentrate so much on what is given by the Central Government but also try and concentrate on how much they can raise through their own local resources. view

• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was just about to finish. I was saying that the Public Procurement and Oversight Authority is supposed to save the many millions that have been lost by the Government.

• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Lastly, as the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, we have said that there is rampant insecurity in this country. One of the issues that we got from the relevant authorities or Government agencies, especially the Inspector- General of Police and the National Police Service Commission and others is that they are not funded enough to handle the security issue. We had made a request through our Chair to the Budget Committee to consider allocating a few shillings to improve security. They have indicated the areas that need to be taken into consideration and the budget totals Kshs16 billion. ... view

• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Yes. It is on the statement. Hon. Speaker, I stand to be corrected. The statement sought by hon. Shebesh is very vital and important. We need to discuss it. However, I was just requesting if we can just defer it to some other time because, if you look at the Gallery, there are kids, pupils and students. view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, and by extension, I also want to thank the technology because before we used to rise so many times and we were not being given an opportunity to give our contributions. I rise to support this Motion which has been brought by the Committee on Appointments. First of all, I want to take this opportunity to thank the President. When I was watching television, ole Lenku said that he got that appointment by surprise. Actually, the staff of where he was working told him of his appointment and he was very surprised. However, besides that ... view
• 5 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the President. Of course, initially there were issues which were raised that the President was not following the Constitution as regards regional balancing. One of the hon. Members has just said that despite the Coast region giving the President less than 12 per cent of the votes in that region, he has actually awarded them two slots as Cabinet Secretaries and this just goes to show how serious the President wants to reward even the areas that he was not able to be given votes from. view
