• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Being smart is my weakness. Hon. Speaker, you remember there was a day that you were not around and my crutches were snatched. I decided to camouflage so that I confuse the enemy. The Petitioners have a very valid point because very big companies sometimes disregard advice from the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA). As much as we need those mega projects, we need human lives first. You know whenever you have such a big project and there is stagnant water especially in those areas of Nyanza which are malaria zones, there will be ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think we are all saying the same thing in different styles depending on where you were born and brought up. What Hon. Duale has requested is that we need to see the debt first before we go to the BPS, so that we can understand, compare the two and see where we are. So, what is wrong with asking for that? Hon. Kanini Kega has confirmed that he has received recommendations from the Budget Office. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: I have not said “she”. Sometimes, depending with how you talk, I may confuse whether you are a he or a she. He has received recommendations from the Budget Office that we separate the two reports so that we understand and internalise it, and control the debt ceiling in this country. We are all saying the same thing apart from Hon. Atandi He is used to WhatsApp. This is a serious matter, Hon. Atandi. Thank you. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: (Nominated, JP) Hon. Speaker, I rise to oppose this Motion by Hon. Kamket and his Committee. I thought the Chairman was a bit egocentric and selfish in annulling the Biashara Kenya Fund because the Committee was ignored by the CS or because Members of Parliament will not be directly involved in disbursement of the fund. We should be looking at the benefit of collapsing four funds into one for efficiency and to have a lean board that will save us from the wage bill that we are currently struggling with as a country. We have more than 300 State corporations ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Sir George is a renowned lawyer and I wish to be informed by him. view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. However, for the first time, Hon. Sir George Murugara is wrong because I sit in the Departmental Committee on Labor and Social Welfare. Today, we were reviewing our Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and I met the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of the Women Enterprise Fund, Youth Enterprise Fund and the Uwezo Fund. I can even give you their names. The CEO of Uwezo Fund is actually a colleague of mine and from my own community, Ole Ngapiani. Hon. Murugara, I am talking from a--- view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I was intelligently interrupted by my colleague, I was saying that we will save on cost if we collapse these SAGAs into one. This is because some of them do the same job – they target the same people. They give loans to the youth and women to jumpstart their businesses. In short, they all give loans to the vulnerable members of our society, namely women, youth and persons with disabilities. The administrative cost in this country are huge and that is why our wage bill is way beyond what is acceptable worldwide and by ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: So, you can imagine some of these Funds are hidden so political friends can be appreciated and compensated when they lose in elections. For efficiency purposes, I oppose these regulations. We should collapse as many SAGAs as possible and State Corporations so that we can have a lean budget and secretariat that will be efficient to ensure that money is used for the intended purposes. Hon. Nyikal was a Permanent Secretary (PS) and my boss. He can confirm that almost Kshs.5 billion is used for administration in the cash transfer program. But if we used mobile money transfer through the ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report by the Committee on Delegated Legislation. Being a Member of that Committee, let me appreciate the hard work that takes place in that Committee behind the scenes in meeting rooms and board rooms. This is a Committee that is led by a hardworking leadership. It is a Committee that is very cohesive across the party divide. We have done so much since I joined the Committee last year. I would really like to support what they have done, especially in relation to these Regulations of forming the Biashara ... view
• 3 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: of the political divide are aligned to, we will allocate even more money to reach the mama mboga and boda boda taxi operators, the kinyozi boys and others in every sector of the country, so that we can build the economy right from the bottom, empower people at the bottom and expand the tax bracket so that we are able to tax more people less. That way, we will build the economy knowing that we are not in a very good place presently. view
