• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (e) Finally, the involvement of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) both at board and management level. view
• 20 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. This is a very historic moment; a moment we cannot afford to throw away. What is good for Kenya is good for my people and good for me. What is bad for Kenya is bad for my people and for me. I would like to appeal to my colleagues that even as we proceed to constitute the Select Committee we look for people whose thinking is national as opposed to tribal or ethnic. They should be people who care for the Turkana people although they are living in the Coast Province, ... view
• 17 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for that protection. What I was saying is that it is good for us not to protect our own future ambitions at the expense of Kenyans. It is not good for us to protect our own interests, either for now or for the future. If we do so, our sons will continue to fight. I would rather fight and my son lives in peace. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice in commending the Committee and this House in passing this Bill. The House has enhanced its oversight role in the Budget-making process. Right now, the Budget-making process for the next financial year is already in high gear, but this House has no idea as to how this is being done. This House is not making any contribution in the process. We, as a House, are not exercising our oversight role. However, with the passage of this Bill, this House will play an active role. Right now, ... view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to commend this House for playing its role and engaging in what it ought to do in the Budget-making process. view
• 10 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to commend the Minister for bringing forth this Bill and the House for passing it. I know that the contentious section will be put in effect responsibly. There is no country in the world where self-regulation works on its own. In the USA, we have seen how the economy has been destroyed because the Government did not take control. They left matters to self-regulation. For the Minister to bring this Bill before this House, he was just doing what the Government ought to do, that is, to prevent a disaster from happening ... view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this very long overdue Bill. This Bill intends to put this country where the rest of the world is. If you look at Africa, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa and Ghana, they already have it. Even if you look further to Canada, USA, UK, Sweden and Finland, all have a budgetary law. So, we are only taking this country to the level of developed countries. Even if you look at Parliament, we spend 75 per cent of our time discussing the Budget, yet it is shrouded in mystery or secrecy. What this ... view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Report. I stand to support the Motion. As we debate this Report, we are talking about democracy and people's rights. When people's rights are eroded, then everything else they stand for is eroded. If people cannot stand in a line and exercise their rights, and those rights be recorded properly, then we have failed in democracy. That is why the institution of ECK is so crucial that it should be manned by women and men of integrity. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this should ... view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the youth of this country have been accused of lacking initiative. That is why they have not accessed these funds. Two days ago, the youth of Kinangop launched a Savings and Credit Co-operative Society (SACCO). In which way could the Assistant Minister assist this Kinangop Youth SACCO or any other SACCO that the youth may start in any other constituency, so that they can benefit? view
