• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, these State officers have failed to know that they are expected to be responsible and accountable when it comes to resources that are entrusted to them. It is important that all expenditure that is incurred by these officers is scrutinized by this House. Through the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we will be able to check and give them the limits to spend. Therefore, it will be easy for us to contain this wastage of our funds.

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, State officers at the senior level fail to interact with junior officers and one way of doing this is to book themselves in First Class and Business Class when travelling.

Supposing they are doing an eight hour flight and they are all in the same cabin, there will be ample time for them to interact. By the time they get to their destination, they will have familiarized with one another. Therefore, this issue of separating ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, looking at the Recurrent Expenditure of the Kenya Government; when you look at the ratio of acquiring a Business Class ticket to that of an Economy Class ticket, it might be one to three. That should be checked through this Motion. I request that we all vote for this Motion because it will control wastage of funds. These funds can be saved for something else. For example, I come from an agricultural zone. We do not have enough subsidies on farm inputs. Why can we not take the difference and buy fertiliser for our farmers? We ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this issue of flying First Class or Business Class makes somebody to live beyond his means. When this person goes on retirement at the age of 60 years after serving the Government, what happens to him? This person has gotten used to flying a particular class and it will be very difficult to adjust to life outside. Therefore, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker let us make people get used to what is available on the land. What is it that somebody is going to work with? Let not somebody who is in a senior position try to ... view

• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I sincerely appreciate the Motion before the House by hon. Wanga. It touches on the issues that are affecting our communities. However, I oppose the Motion as it is. As a Member of the Transport, Public and Housing Committee, on Monday, we had a session with the Cabinet Secretary, Eng. Kamau, and we deliberated on this issue. We talked about it and made some proposals to him. He gave us counter proposals. We prepared for his meeting on Tuesday with the matatu operators at the KICC. The aim of the discussion was all ... view

• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: and The Standard on Saturday 21st September, 2013, for the recruitment of servicemen and women. The said advertisement has excluded various district headquarters as recruitment centres, hence denying the youth from those districts an opportunity to serve this country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in his Statement the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the criteria used to identify the recruitment centres and whether they used district headquarters as recruitment centres. If yes, say why various district headquarters were left out. Two, provide the distribution of the recruits in every district. Thank you. view
