• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. If you look at the Order Paper, there is quite heavy business which we are to undertake. A lot of it has been postponed in the last two weeks. So, it is only fair that we extend time, deal with the business and then we can deal with any other thing. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, as the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Local Authorities, to which you committed this memorandum, I want to go the route the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Authorities went. When we got this memorandum, we invited several stakeholders, among them being the Constitution Implementation Commission (CIC), the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government. We have even had consultations with the Attorney-General. The first thing that my Committee looked at is the President’s assertion “By the powers conferred to me by this ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Motion for Adjournment and say that Members are tired. I would have liked us to continue, but looking at the way debates have been going in the last one week, it looks like Members are tired and they were not really focusing on real issues that can help this country. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Having said that, I want to encourage my brother, the Acting Minister for Finance to sit on that seat properly. You have this House’s goodwill. Please, utilize the goodwill you have here. There is no Bill; Finance or any other that you will not carry through, if you utilize the goodwill that you have here. All of us are Kenyans and we want to move forward. All of us are Kenyans and want banks to behave properly. We want them not to have penalties that if you do not pay early, you have to be penalized for not paying early. ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is sad that we are going on recess when we have not passed the County Government Bill which is the legal framework for devolution and for starting the process of putting the counties in place. But it is my hope that when we come back on 17th April, we will have sobered up, negotiated with each other and dialogued and we will see sense so that we can all move in one direction not only that Bill but any other that may come. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, because other Members would want to contribute, I beg to support. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for that very comprehensive Statement and also for being one brave leader who speaks his mind; whether he is deciding to engage with Mungiki or MRC. However, these groups start well. Mungiki started as a genuine organization with genuine grievances. Maybe even MRC could have started with genuine grievances but somewhere along the line, they are hijacked by politicians and other people. Could he clarify that the Government would be able to deal with the people who hijack such organizations and then politicise and make them even ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Committee in appointing Boniface as a member of the Constituency Development Fund Board. I would like to say this: Committees do a lot of work. Time and again, they have delved into details and examined people. When they bring the report here, we, sometimes, do not support them.

I wish to state that the CDF is one of the special funds provided for under the Public Finance Bill which is now before the ... view

So, the Board should balance the checks and determine what would hinder the use of those funds. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support. view
