• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you rightly said, if there is a time that this House should have been full it is today. If there is a time we will play our role as a House, it is today. You have quoted other democracies where whole nations would have been following keenly what is happening. If the PAC was given teeth to bite, and this House was serious enough to empower it to scrutinise and debate this Report in order to enrich the Report, we would reduce the wastage of public resources by 90 per cent. view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Today I am shocked to learn about the mass and mega wastage of taxpayers’ money through dubious ways. As the Waswahili people say, nyani haoni kundule. They are pointing fingers at the wrong people yet corruption started in this country way back in 1986. Mitihani House is a white elephant project we keep pumping money into every year as the Ministry keeps on colluding with the courts and the contractors so that they can pay little amounts. Imagine a building costing billions of shillings. view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: During the Kibaki era, there was a Minister from the Orange Democratic Movement who awarded a contract of about Kshs18 million. Over time, we have paid Ksh200 million and we owe the contractor Kshs70 million. Surely, watu hawaogopi Mungu, hawaogopi dhambi . The contract sum was increased from Kshs18 million to Kshs200 million and we have not finished payment. Even if it is eating, that is too much. If the amount were to be increased from Kshs18 million to Kshs20 million, it could have been understandable because of some dynamics like changes in terms of living standards and inflation. Increasing ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Planting of grass is also another avenue to eat money. Kenyans have become eaters. They eat even grass. Imagine planting grass, which our youth in primary and secondary schools could have been contracted to do with just bottles of soda and loaves of bread. That is what they do in young farmers clubs but we are losing billions of shillings. The Kshs330 million given to a company that was formed in 2007/2008 during another famous handshake vanished in 2009 and no details of that company can be found. That happened after the famous handshake of 2007/2008. No wonder, after another ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Another issue is land compensation. We should be very serious about this issue. What is happening is that cartels in the Ministry identify the Government intention to construct a railway line between Town A and B, like between Nairobi and Narok, and then rush and buy parcels of land around that area because they are the ones in custody of the plans and maps. So, they buy parcels of land around that area at very cheap prices and then, because they are hungry hyenas, they do not only multiply the prices they bought the parcels of land by two, but ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: human beings. They lack morals, and this House must be very serious, so that we flush them out. The Bible says that if an eye is disturbing you, you can remove that eye. If these people must be paraded at Uhuru Park and be shot dead, then be it. view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue is white elephant projects. I was the Chairperson of the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and we never had a single white elephant project. We should think of ways, through the Chairpersons of the Public Accounts Committee and the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations, so that this House can come up with laws to provide that if you cannot complete a project, do not start it. In the National Council for PWDs, I introduced a law that if the building costs Kshs1 million, because mostly we were building special schools, we give you the ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Ninaunga mkono hotuba hii. Nataka kutoa shukrani zangu za dhati kwa Mtukufu Rais wa Muungano wa Tanzania. Ningependa kumualika tena na tena ili arudi nchini kwetu kwa sababu kulikuwa na mazuri. view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Naomba uniongezee dakika zangu. Ningependa kumshukuru Rais Uhuru Kenyatta kwa kutuletea Suluhu hapa nchini Kenya. Tulipata suluhu ya ng’ombe zetu kutopigwa mnada hata kama zitavuka mpaka bila pasipoti. Tulipata suluhu za vifaranga kutoteketezwa hata kama watapatikana nchini Tanzania bila pasipoti. Tulipata suluhu ya miundo mbinu za kidiplomasia, ushirikiano, maendeleo na amani. Mhe. Suluhu karibu tena nchini kwa sababu nchi hii ina uhuru; uhuru wa kujieleza, wa kuabudu, kutembea, kuishi na kufanya biashara popote nchini na uwezekano wa vipaji. Mhe. Suhulu, vile nyumbu wa Serengeti wanavyovuka mipaka kutungwa mimba Maasai Mara, ndivyo Wakenya na Watanzania watavuka mipaka kuekeza na kufanya biashara ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: tuimarishe biashara ya utalii. Vile Nyumbu wa Serengeti wanatungwa mimba Maasai Mara na kuzalia Tanzania, ndivyo ng'ombe wa wamaasai watatungwa mimba huku Kenya na kuzalia Tanzania bila masharti yoyote. Mtukufu Rais Suluhu Hassan, ni heshima kubwa sana nikiwa mwakilishi wa wakenya walemavu kuwa mmoja wa Wabunge ambao walisikiza hotuba yako kwa vikao vya pamoja vya Bunge la Seneti na Bunge la Taifa. Ilikuwa heshima kubwa sana na nashukuru sana. Kuwa mama wa kwanza kuwa Rais Afrika Mashariki ni ishara tosha kuwa watu wetu wanadhamini vikundi maalum vya riba, special interest groups kwa kimombo. Kwa mapenzi ya Maulana, mkenya mlemavu atakuwa ... view
