• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. On Friday and Saturday last week, the Committee had a retreat with stakeholders together with the Ministry to review this Bill. A report has been prepared but it was not ready for your approval. It will be tabled tomorrow. On the same note, because of the requirements of the Constitution that the public must participate in the passing of Bills, last week on Friday in the Daily Nation and The Standard, the National Assembly published an advert requesting any interested stakeholders to send in their memoranda to reach the National Assembly on or before ... view

• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: have doped and have unfair advantage over the rest. Where doping is involved, we cannot tell whether competitors win genuinely or through cheating. That is why the WADA has insisted that we must have this law in place; they have been doubtful that we have been winning fairly. That is why it is necessary that this Bill is passed. Hon. Speaker, the other intention of the Bill is to protect the health of athletes. This is paramount because the long-term effects of using prohibited substances are grave. What happens to, say, ladies after using some of these prohibited substances? Their ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to second this Motion. As the Mover has indicated, it was a tedious process because it is the first time that our Committee has handled such a task. This was necessitated by the fact that the whole Budget and Appropriations Committee was not approved in the House. It was a learning process. It was not easy the way we thought. The first thing we came across is that, at the moment, the revenue collection is low. The targets that the Government is giving as revenue collection are not real. The ceilings ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: there was a lot of resistance. We were told we could not increase the ceilings. If we increased, the Committee had to come up with a suggestion on how the extra revenue would be collected. If not raising extra revenue, then what mode of borrowing would be taken? Because of that, many projects that are to be done by ministries will not be implemented. I would like to give examples. On cash transfer, the Mover indicated that the Government intends to increase the beneficiaries from 717,000 in 2015/2016 to 1.7 million in 2018/2019. Looking at the budget proposals for the ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as far I am concerned, there is no Bill. We have a legislative proposal. Hon. Korir is appearing before my Committee on Thursday. So far there is no Bill. It is something we are going to handle from Thursday. We should not mislead the House. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the amendments as proposed by the President. If you remember, when the Presidential Memorandum was read out here, it was committed to my Committee. As a Committee, we sat and went through the amendments as proposed by the President. We found that they were actually improving the Bill that we had passed here. If you recall, the initial Bill was the National Youth Employment Authority Bill but, through consultation with Hon. Sakaja, we agreed that we remove the word “youth” so that we only come up with one national employment ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view
