• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: have well established referral units in every constituency in this country. Those units should obviously have ICU and blood transfusion units, but a lot more things like theatre, good wards especially for children and maternity units. That will be more holistic than just narrowing and zeroing in on just those two aspects of ICU and blood transfusion. Let me go back to devolution. As representatives of Kenyans and as people who were elected to come to this Parliament, and seeing what is happening to the health sector and we are watching, the health sector is wobbling. When I trained as ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I listened to the Mover, and now the Seconder, I am getting disturbed. The Constitution is very clear that the Supplementary Budget should not go beyond 10 per cent. So, does the Committee have any powers to contravene the Constitution? Where do they get those powers from? view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will take my two minutes by just touching on one or two areas of this Amendment Bill. One of the areas I would like to propose that we need to look at in the Third Reading is the two students from the universities who will sit in the Board. I feel that it will be important that when we pick these two students, they are staggered over the years. For example, we can pick one student this year and another one next year so that institutional memory is not lost so that all ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The second area we need to look at for amendments is expanding the quota that goes to the Higher Education Loans Board. This money needs to come directly from the Exchequer so that we are sure that we will have it and the beneficiaries will include not just university students but even students going to colleges and also students who are doing their Masters and PhDs. As you realize some student finish university and even before they secure employment, they get a chance to go and do their Masters. These students need to be helped. view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, in this country, the weakest link in our education system is the link of the secondary education. As much as this does not directly touch on the Bill, it is important as everybody has pointed out, that we have by far too many bursaries in this country. Time has come for the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to look into this and see whether there is a way we can pool all these bursaries into one basket and make it possible for all our students in secondary schools to acquire free secondary education. There are by far ... view
• 10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I support the Bill but in the Third Reading, we will come in with some amendments to make a good thing better. Thank you. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Let me also add my voice on the debate. I will quickly look through the reallocations we have done and comment on one or two areas. 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
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: First, it is a good thing that the IEBC has been allocated some money for voter registration. This is because previously, they were not given any money and yet this exercise is ongoing in most places where we come from. Secondly, I am also glad that the TVET institutes have been added some money. These are the new Technical Training Institutes that are being built in all the constituencies, especially in constituencies where they are non-existent. Thirdly, I want to note that the New Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC) has been added Kshs400 million. I do not see the Chairman of ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: use the same formula that, 45 per cent of that money that go to counties must trickle down to the sub-counties and the wards for it to make sense so that we can feel it. When they say pesa mashinani, that mashinani is a village. Mashinani is not Kakamega Town, Nakuru Town or Thika Town. “ Mashinani” is “village”. If money must reach the village, we must by law, make it mandatory that once a certain percentage of money gets to the counties, it moves further down to the sub-counties, the wards and finally the villages. We are going to ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Come to Kakamega and you will see. Hon. Speaker, you will be going there on the 13th. You will see him coming with his seat on a brand new double cabin pick-up. That is not what devolution was meant to be. Devolution was meant to take this money right down to the ground and not for the governor to enjoy the trappings of those things, and for this money to be concentrated at the county headquarters. Devolution was meant to ensure that the money must trickle down to the wards and the villages so that people can feel and enjoy ... view
