• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I also want to thank Mzee Wangamati. For those who do not know, Mzee Wangamati is the ex-Mayor of Webuye Town. We have had a problem in that area. The place is now at a standstill. It was an upcoming city in the area but, presently, there is no income being generated in the area as has been said. We really have to do something about this. We used to export paper from Webuye to other countries. We also used to have an afforestation programme but, today, there is nothing. The former employees should be paid their dues. ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have an interest in this debate. Because of other business out there, I came in when the Mover had actually moved the Motion. I also support this sessional paper. There is a meeting going on in Paris today because the leadership the world over has concern about what is happening to the environment, leading to global warming. I travelled to Romania some years back, on personal interests. While there, I went to Bucharest. I was very impressed to find a forest covering the entire city centre. The forest in Bucharest is so distinct that you ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment. I do not think that we want to restrict ourselves to number of projects. You can do five, 10, 30 or 50 quality projects. I oppose the limitation of projects to between five and 25. I support the amendment. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the chance to contribute to this Motion. I support the report by the Mediation Committee. Apart from Kiambu County which has been in the newspapers for quite some time, we also have governors who do not even stay in their own areas. This report is good because it will bring some order in the county. Sometimes, you will find a governor moving from one place to another because he did not get a lot of votes in that area. He establishes headquarters in an area where he thinks he is more popular. This ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we share a common border with Hon. Pukose. I am also surprised that there is a petition from this area which I am not aware of. We 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
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: know for sure that people in Trans Nzoia were mostly affected by the clashes of 1992 and, of course, by the recent ones that happened in 2007. Some people are making money out of the clashes. The petitioner has not said exactly when they were evicted. Those ADC farms are very old. Some people come from as far as Uganda because our constituency borders Uganda. I am sure that some of these people are in it for business because they know that the Government is giving out money. When the Departmental Committee on Lands meets, we want them to invite ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very straight forward amendment. At the same time I am a worried person. The concept of county governments is very new. I have heard of cases where because counties do not get money on time, they are now forced to borrow money from commercial banks. It is true because money from the Central Government delays. Because the county governments have to meet recurrent expenses, they are forced to borrow from these banks. These are things that the Jubilee Government should understand. There is a problem out there. Therefore, some counties are borrowing money ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: That is something we have to be very careful about. I support the amendment but as a word of caution, the money to the county governments should be disbursed as soon as possible. This is November and even the Constituencies Development fund (CDF) money which affects all of us, has not been disbursed. I received Kshs10 million out of Kshs139 million. Similarly, county governments are having problems. I know for sure that, if there is attachment of some properties, the operation of the counties will come to a halt. However, we should disburse money on time. In supporting this Bill, ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to support this Bill. First and foremost, I thank Hon. Priscilla for what she has done. I was here when she was moving the Bill and I was very impressed. Indeed, she had done a bit of research. She even gave us information I did not even know that this Bill was first presented by Hon. Mukhisa Kituyi in the 8th Parliament. We are now in the 11th Parliament. She has done research on this matter and I thank her for the good work she has done. She gave us detailed ... view
• 19 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: However, it is regrettable as mentioned that other countries have got this information. This Bill was passed before us. We should have passed this Bill long time ago since it was brought before the House in 2002. I hope that we will be able to fast-track this and move on. view
