• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Let me also raise this issue of the requirement for emergency funds. The Government has said there will be a 100 per cent transition to secondary school. We have a total of 125 primary and secondary schools in my constituency. This transition has worked very well. However, there is a very big challenge where extra classrooms are required in almost all the secondary schools. Some students are squeezed in the classrooms and dormitories. I wish we could have more emergency funds or something to be done because there are extra students who are joining secondary schools. I wish the Government ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I will also talk about equitable distribution of funds. As I said, I have 125 schools in my constituency. I visited another constituency last month where I found out that they have only two secondary schools and three primary schools. Compare them with 125 schools in my constituency! It means that one of them will have more funds while the other is under-funded. So, there is need to ensure that there is equitable distribution of funds to the NG-CDF. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to talk about the environment and emergency funds. They help especially in emergencies. We use the money to reconstruct sunken toilets and repair roofs in cases where they have been blown away by wind. I know with time, this will become a thing of the past as we continue to improve infrastructure. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The NG-CDF should also be expanded to cater for unique needs of each constituency because constituencies have different needs. Like in my constituency, the people in rural areas expect me to address water issues because water is a big issue. I keep on telling them that water is a devolved function. I wish we could also have a way of allocating the funds as by the need of a constituency so that we cater for needs like water and roads. Even though they are devolved functions, services are not given to mwananchi as they are supposed to. Services take too ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I commend the Committee for the good work they are doing and wish them all the best. Thank you. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to wish every one of us a happy new year. I stand to support the Bill. It seeks to establish an accreditation body that will be responsible for providing assessments and approvals to services and products that are provided by other bodies. It will be useful in this county because it will serve several important functions like improving services and products that are offered. The Service will ensure that there is quality and quantity control assurance of goods and services. It will also ensure that marketing of these goods ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Some pioneers of the accreditation bodies carried out various studies on best practices and came up with recommendations on how to reward quality practices and how to loosen professional control, so that there is room for growth, creativity and innovation. So, this body should not be an impediment to creativity and innovation. Instead, it should encourage them. It will also be good to have consistency in the requirements and standards for validity. The accreditation body should ensure that there is high level of transparency and accountability. The body should work in collaboration with other bodies. As I had said, the ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Report on State corporations because they have a mandate and they should stick to it. I also support it because it is based on the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. I also congratulate the Auditor-General for the good work. view
