• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Charlady, my amendment, the way it was carried was deleting sub-clause (1) and giving specific proposals in terms of the CDFC’s approval and the Chair submitting to the board. At the end of it all, it will come to the Parliamentary Committee for approval. In my amendment, we have removed the notion of “through the County Projects Committee”. So, the issue of passage through the County Projects Committee does not arise. We are getting it straight. They can only get a copy. So, we can sustain hon. Millie’s proposed sub-clause (5), in terms of harmonisation. It is ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 15 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting the word “Standard” Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady this is just a simple amendment. I realize the Bill is talking of “Standard”. I think those were things at the conception level of the board. Now after a decade, we are mature enough. We do not need to be standardized. Standardized with who? So, we are deleting the word “Standard”. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Mr. Ochieng has captured the point I wanted to make. Our experience, hon. Minister, and you know it; we have view

• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you called me first and I moved my amendments. They have been carried. Once my amendments were carried, they took into account hon. Gumbo’s amendment. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my understanding of a Parliamentary Committee is that it can be a Joint Committee. That is our proposal. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also want to plead with the House. This proposal was brought to the Committee and we rejected it because of the difficulties that the House has already inculcated. The Article by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs cannot purport to be one used for the CDF. The State has Kazi kwa Vijana and I am told that there is Programme II. The State has idlers in procurement but our issue is the practicality of this business. In addition to the wording Mr. C. Kilonzo has noted, the amendment is making it mandatory ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: I want to plead with my good friend hon. Millie. We come from very rich religious backgrounds, but we must know that every fund we vote in this House is for a particular purpose. If it is for a Ministry, it is for a specific purpose. If we go this route, we will be undermining the very purpose of having CDF. The object of CDF is poverty alleviation and not evangelization. Anybody who is interested in evangelization can carry the Bible and preach to the unreached people of the world. I beg and plead to my sister to withdraw this. ... view

(c) by deleting paragraph (e); (d) in paragraph (f) by deleting the words “and shall serve as the secretary to the Constituency Development Fund Committee” view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: That is correct, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is about the composition of the Committee; two persons representing religious organizations in the constituency. I am glad that this is coming after Clause 22 so that we make it very clear that we appreciate the role of religious bodies. In 3A, we are saying that let the Officer of the Board, but in consultation with the Member of Parliament, convene these meetings. I do not need to explain this. If this House appreciates what the CDF can do, then we must make it conform to the constitutional order. By the time ... view
