• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can confirm to you that I have read this Report twice and I can tell you the only substantive--- view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am again confirming to you that the only substantive recommendation is No.2 because No.1 just talks about having the governing laws like the transition to devolve governments. The only substantive recommendation is No.2 which talks about reversal of devolved health functions back to the national Government and this is what I am against. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to fight the Constitution? For once, hon. members, please let us not try to do something that we--- We should debate serious things and not this Report. This Report should not have found ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: We have a fully-fledged department. The county executive for health is functioning and they have already been working for the last seven months. So, reversing such a function is a joke. This Report should be rejected and let us look at the mothers and the children who are now being served well. We better improve on what has been done for the last seven months than trying to restart the process. It will not help us. We reject this Report. view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the debate on Division of Revenue Bill. But I would also like to support it very cautiously because the county governments are supported by everybody, but one year down the line, they have not shown much progress. Therefore, while we celebrate the increment of the county governments funding to 43 per cent, we need to be very careful. I wish the county governments were very clear and accountable for the progress and development they have attained. I can very confidently say that despite the billions that were given to the county ... view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, I would also like the Equalisation Fund to be dedicated to the counties that are marginalized. It is also very unfortunate that we are now using the audited accounts of 2009/2010 which are very conservative estimates compared to the Financial The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Year 2013/2014. Because of that, the funds that are being allocated to the counties are not properly captured. When you use the figures of 2009/2010, the amount of funds look higher, but when you use the figures of the Financial Year 2013/2014, then you will see that it is a different story. view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: With that, I support this Division of Revenue Bill but later on in the Committee of the whole House, we will propose some amendments. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I hereby request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security concerning discrimination and difficulties experienced in acquiring national identity cards and passports by Kenyans of Somali origin. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Kenyans of Somali origin are faced with a lot of challenges while applying for national identity cards and passports. There is an ongoing vetting process that is discriminatory and unconstitutional since these Kenyans are tested for their knowledge in Swahili and checked for the BCG vaccination mark on their left arms. This ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: (a) why the vetting process is discriminatory and the measures the Government is taking to ensure these citizens acquire national identity cards and passports; view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: (b) the fate of those Kenyans who are now stateless due to the fact that they registered as refugees so that they could get relief food due to poverty and drought; and, (c) why knowledge of Kiswahili and BCG vaccination mark on the arm are made conditions of proof of citizenship. view
