• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to add my voice to this important Bill. At the outset, I stand to support the Bill although it has its own small misgivings. In the entire Bill, there are positive strides which is a clear indication that the Government is committed to devolution and making all efforts to ensure that the Kenyan populace is reaping maximum profit from the national kitty. This is indicated by various factors. Some conditional grants proposed have paramount importance, for instance free maternal health which is getting about Kshs4.1 billion. We also have ... view

For the various county governments to keep to the standard that we expect, the conditional grant of Kshs4.3 billion is well timed and it will come in handy to help the various county governments. Out of past experiences, most of our governors are diverting most of these funds going to various counties into their personal monies. This has been seen in various counties. It is time we pushed the Senate to take their rightful position because it has been given the responsibility to oversee various county governments ... view

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to commend the Committee for the good work it has undertaken, especially on the single recommendation that there should be extensive and detailed forensic audit on this issue.

This is because as some of the members of the Committee have actually confirmed, they could not come up with a proper and concrete conclusion on the way forward, or where this issue stands.
