• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I listened to the Chairperson of the Special Funds Committee and I did not hear from him anything to do with MPs role in managing day to day of the Fund yet what is happening now and has been happening in the last seven months is that the number of MPs who have been put on a very short leash, if you say your mind or say what is happening in the country, they threaten you The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: that they are going to investigate your NG-CDF. I want it to be known that the role of the MP in NG-CDF is a patron. The MP does not run the day to day activities of the Fund. I also want to request Members of Parliament to look at that law and ensure that they are always away from the nitty gritty of the Fund because that is not our role. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: You hardly find white elephants where NG-CDF is concerned because we have continually improved the law on NG-CDF. So, even if you were to have your plans, the projects done in the previous regime must be finished. That is why you hardly find white elephants within the framework. The efficiency, the lack of bureaucracy and the ease and flexibility with which the NG-CDF is managed makes it the Fund for the people. There are no forms to be filled and there are not many procedures to be followed. How I wish that the group we now have getting money from ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The impact of the NG-CDF in the country cannot be gainsaid. That is why we need to have all encompassing audits. The audits should not be only about money, but should also be about value for money, what is achieved and how much is being achieved. I dare say that we should start comparing the audit reports from county governments and the NG-CDF. You will find, like Hon. Kioni said earlier, that the money that goes to administering NG-CDF is very small: 5 to 6 per cent. From Ksh100 million, we can only use Ksh5 million for administration. Contrast that ... view

• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you so much. Hon. Speaker, I listened to your ruling and this is something you have given serious thought. Your ruling talks about two things which are very important to me. One, is the role of political parties in our democracy. Two, is the place of the Constitution in the governance of the country, so that fidelity is always to the Constitution and not anything else. I am also very happy that you have indicated that when you are the Speaker, you will never allow anybody, whoever it is, to breach the law for whimsical reasons. It is important ... view

• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is against this background that I wish to request the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to inquire into and provide a statement to the House on the following: (i) The instances, if any, of cases of disobedience of court orders, failure to comply with court orders and non-execution of court orders by the national Executive, its agencies and institutions.

• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank you for a thorough, learned and considered ruling.
