• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: We should ask ourselves the intention of this money. It is meant to improve the marginalised counties’ roads, electricity, water and other social amenities. We need to use this money for mega tangible projects, which will bring change so that in future, we can get out of this marginalised situation. This Fund is simply meant for the marginalised. If we use it to create awareness or build boreholes, then we will not put marginalisation to an end. The time frame of this Fund is a total of 20 years. The drafters of the Constitution presumed that within this time, the ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: We have spent more than Kshs400 million on monitoring and administration of projects which do not exist in the marginalised counties. I want the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, together with the Ministry of Finance and National Treasury, to explain to us how the Kshs400million was used. If this money was used as administration fees for projects which do not exist, they should surcharge the employees for using this amount of money to inspect and monitor non-existent projects. The Equalisation Fund is specifically meant for infrastructure and electricity projects in counties which are prescribed. We know some constituencies ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: This country has a budget, why not bring other indices, for example, poverty or weather conditions, to create another fund for those who are affected? Kenya is in one climatic region and weather belt. Why are we bringing boundary issues of certain regions, like Kiambu, which borders Kajiado? Why are we pretending? The drafters of the Constitution were well informed about the 14 marginalised counties. Why are we pretending to the extent that Kibra should be included in the Equalisation Fund? This beats logic. Let this Fund be for the counties which were targeted by Article 204 of the Constitution. ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Mover of the Motion, His Excellency, Aden Duale. The President’s Speech yesterday touched on various issues, among them the issue of the Big Four Agenda which I am sure, from all indications, he is ready to implement and make sure that service delivery to the common mwananchi is achieved. What touched my heart most was the humility of our President. The apology that the President offered to the country yesterday is not just an apology from any other Tom, Dick or Harry; it is an apology from the Head of ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: humble himself, apologise and shake hands with every Kenyan, even those who called him mtotowa mbwa . He is a humble President. He is a President who aspires to see a country that is united, peaceful and full of love, of one people, one nation and one God and has the same destiny. When I listened to the President’s Speech and compared it to the speech that I heard during Labour Day, I realised that as a country, we are lucky to have this President. During Labour Day celebrations, we had some elders becoming demi-gods and forgiving – it is ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the President’s Speech mentioned and warned Kenyans against foreign interference. He mentioned countries that have been interfered with by foreigners for their own benefit, so that they can capitalise on the underground resources that are found in those particular countries. He mentioned the instability that is in Somalia, Sudan and other African countries that foreigners have intentionally interfered with or destabilised so that they can benefit from those resources of that country. The President told Kenyans to love their country, stand for its benefit, be united and reject any international interference just like what we said ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: The President also mentioned something about the cash transfer, especially to the vulnerable during the recent drought. He mentioned that money was transferred to them so that we can restore their dignity. A long time ago, Kenyans were made to line up in long queues under the scorching sun and heavy rain, so that they can be given one or two gorogoros of maize. They are being given money now, so that they can have the purchasing power and decide on what to buy and what food is good for them. In that spirit, I also want to call upon ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: destroy their dignity. If we transfer the money through mobile money transfer, they will have purchasing power of whatever they may need at that particular time. view
