• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: In my area, we have a problem because I have not been involved. The problem with Kwanza was lack of check dam to tame River Sabwani which causes floods in that area. I have been told now that instead of funding for check dams, they now fund water pans, which are misplaced. I raised the problem and it is good that she has said that the Regional Development Authorities (RDAs) are involved. They outsourced to people who have no capacity. The NYS does not have the capacity to operate in some vast areas like mine, where we need check dams ... view

• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: In the same breath, while the Vice-Chair is answering the question on the Nakuru Road, I do not know whether I am in order to raise a question because I am a regular user of that road. When it reaches Eldoret, it becomes a nightmare. So, I was just wondering whether there is a similar plan for having a bypass in Eldoret. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to second the amendment because out there, we know REA may have the chance of actually giving some areas electricity. As we all know, we come from various constituencies. The laptop programme needs to have electrification in primary schools and, where possible, they can extend it to secondary schools and trading centres. That way, if you want to repair anything, you can go to the nearest place. So, I second the amendment knowing that if REA is given the direction, it will distribute the Kshs7.8 billion equitably throughout the constituencies. At the same time, ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, I think this allocation is a step in the right direction because it will stimulate our children to do better. I know, for example, in Trans Nzoia we were number five in the whole country and we are very proud of that because of electrification in those schools and I think this is good. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the only other thing I want to add is that we have money lying idle at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). Can something be done about that? Can we have the Auditor-General audit the governors who ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think I will move from this position, so that I can catch the Speaker’s eye. I have been here for quite some time. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: My contribution to this Bill is that I support it wholeheartedly. First, as you all know, Kenyans are a highly taxed people in the world. The Government, in its wisdom, increased the VAT. I want to thank hon. Mbadi for having come up with these amendments, which I support. Out there, the rural electrification programme, as most Members have said, will help the youth to be self-employed and empower them. Recently, we passed a Bill on the Uwezo Fund to empower the youth to do some work out there. It is going to help our youths to create employment out ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: doing the same. So, Kenya, which was the best destination for investors, is now suffering because of too many taxes. People who want to come and invest here look at our tax regime. When they find that there are too many taxes, they look for a place where there are no taxes. We are going to support this Bill because it will reduce some of the tax burdens, and investors who want to come to this country will do so because taxes will be fewer. view
