• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Motion. We will definitely support the Report, so that we can do away with and finish with the allocation so that the counties can receive their money. We, however, caution counties that as we allocate these resources, let them follow the directive from the National Treasury to clear pending bills because our people are suffering. The economy is suffocating because of pending bills. Some persons living with disabilities (PLWDs), through what we call Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Secondly, we are allocating these funds not as campaign money. We know we are going into a campaign year especially for governors in their first terms and seeking second terms. Let them not use this money as campaign tools. Let them finish the white elephant projects that they have started. Any unfinished projects should be completed before starting new ones. This is because there is a contention, now that we are in a campaign year for governors who want to be re-elected or who have their preferred candidates, to start spreading these finances thin but widely, so that they can ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The formula has always been one man, one shilling because that is what this is adding to. We wanted one acre, one shilling because infrastructure cannot be built on human heads. Infrastructure like roads is on land. You develop any part of this country and the population will follow that development. There are 35,000 Kenya immigrants working in Qatar, a tiny desert Peninsula, but because of development, they are there. If this House will rise to the occasion and allocate funds in terms of landmass, population will be found in Loiyangalani and Lamu. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: As we increase population in some of these areas, we will recognise their potential. For a long time, some areas, especially in the pastoralists region which is 80 per cent of the landmass in Kenya, have been neglected in terms of resources because they are sparsely populated. This has come with a cost to this country. For a long time, since the creation of this planet, we have had oil in Turkana, but because it was considered a remote area, we were unable to get its benefit. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: For a long time, our livestock, tourism and the blue economy have been considered as low potential. Once these areas are sparsely populated, we tend to channel all our resources to where there is overpopulation. Today, we risk Central Kenya and parts of Western Kenya becoming the largest slums in the world and straining all the social amenities because population is following development and it is there. Let us develop all parts of this country and this is the best time to do so. This formula will allocate funds to all parts of this country using land as a basis. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Only if I had enough time. I know Dr. Eseli wants to be heard by his constituents back there in the reserve and he has been heard.

• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: If I had time, I would have elaborated and substantiated. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965 is what has informed allocation of resources from 1965 up to now. During that time, they said all Kenyan taxes will be invested in high potential areas. Those who were in the kitchen cabinet only knew agriculture as high potential. We have never seen any country becoming rich because of sukuma wiki . We have seen countries like Netherlands becoming rich because of tourism. We have tourism in parts of the pastoralist counties, but because of low allocation of resources, we are unable to exploit that potential. We have geothermal electricity power in Suswa, Narok, ... view
