• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I am excited and very happy that we are now going to talk to people in their languages. People will come before the courts and present their issues in a language they understand best. This has been permitted by this Bill. The great icon Nelson Mandela said that when you talk to somebody in his or her mother tongue, you are talking to his or her heart. So, this is the direction we need to take. I get excited because of that. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Apart from that aspect where we need to give the adjudicator some people around him who can advise him and he can consult on a day to day basis, I am very happy with most of the provisions in this Bill. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I speak to this Bill, I would like to touch on two areas that most of my colleagues have done. We have reached a stage where, as a country, we need to have a national conference to distinguish the roles of each level of government. Now, we have two levels of government; the national and the county government. The functions spelt out in the Fourth Schedule are very clear to each level of government. The Senate is trying to encroach into the territory of the National Assembly. On the grassroots level, you will ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: The way I understand devolution is this: It was not meant to rely on the money appropriated from the national Government. The county government should generate its own revenue. It should look at its natural resources and see how best to exploit them, so as to generate jobs and fight poverty at that level. All of us have certain things that are special in our areas. I would say that in the North Rift area, athletics would do extremely well. We need to go in that direction. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, when we talk about athletics, the county governments should lay the infrastructure for sports academics. We need to start tapping those talents at a very early age. For those who love football, they know that Lionel Messi, the great footballer of the world at the moment, was tapped when he was 7 years old. He was put in the Barcelona Sports Academy. Now there he is, and you can see the wonders he does with the ball. Every county should set up a sports academy to tap some of the youths at the very early age and nurture them ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would also want to concur with my colleague that most of the functions have been devolved. We are flogging a dead horse. There is a person who devolved those functions one morning. It was done in State House. We all know. So, if we go back on a history that is already dead and buried, we will not be going anywhere. Let us accept reality as it is. All health functions have been devolved. Some of us were against it but that is the reality. Going back will not help anybody in this ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: You know Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what disturbs me is, virtually all functions except roads have been devolved. Let us be realistic. Which other function is yet to be devolved? You have not given us any example. You say you gave the example of health. Health is all gone, agriculture is gone, water is gone. Which one is left? view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: What I am trying to say is that I would agree with the Leader of the Majority Party, except that it has been overtaken by events. view
