• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: culpability of the three Cabinet Secretaries, on February 2017 there was an Executive Order from the President declaring famine in the country a national disaster. On 5th May, 2017, there was an inter-ministerial meeting at Harambee House where several CSs met and deliberated based on the Executive Order No.1/2017 dated February, 2017. There were no three CSs. That inter- ministerial committee was not only about Rotich, Adan and the former CS for Agriculture. So, this Report is very malicious. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Like those who spoke before me, we should not end here. I would suggest that later on we form an ad hoc committee to look into this sugar issue afresh or we leave it to one committee. This is very serious. There is a recommendation from the Committee that the University of Nairobi was denied opportunity to test the sugar. That is very serious and it raises issues on the Government Chemist who now falls under the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government. It is a big issue of which we have to check. There must be a ... view

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am equally concerned on this because unless you say that the valuers are prequalified in the ministries concerned, this is subject to misuse. If you open it to everybody in the market, people will be opening offices and calling themselves valuers. Some of the valuers may go ahead to steal people’s land. There is need for the Chair to amend or provide a clear picture on this. We need to know whether private valuers are prequalified in the Government funds before they are given opportunity to work on this exercise. view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, like my colleagues who have spoken before me have said, many of the youth in this country have suffered in the name of this Vote. We cannot punish our young people in the NYS. There are many of them who are being trained vocationally as mechanical and electrical engineers. We should not punish them because of a few individuals. I want to support this allocation. The fellows in that Ministry who are found to be corrupt should be put in jail. Otherwise, it is a good course. I have tabled a Bill before this House to ... view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support this amendment because some of us come from pastoralist community and we want this money to get to this department so that it can help the pastoralists. The Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock needs to look at the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). It is a government parastatal which is dying and that is where many pastoralists are supposed to benefit from their animals. Why should we have people supplying meat from outside to the police, colleges and even NYS when we have KMC? We hope that a big portion of it ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to commend Hon. Wamalwa because he has brought a very important issue about the preparedness of the country whenever there is a disaster. We have now lost about 10 Kenyans. I also want to remind Hon. Wamalwa that the same Bible he is quoting, in the Book of Ecclesiastes, it says that there is time and place for everything under the heavens. So, your time was not yet, Hon. Chris Wamalwa. There is need for this country to see how we can have in place a serious management unit in the country so ... view
