• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity. I have been sitting here. As a student of economics, I want to tell my colleagues that tomorrow, Kenyans will be watching. They will be glued to their seats to watch televisions and listen to radio as the Cabinet Secretary reads out this particular Budget. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me say at the outset that I am not happy with this Budget. You have heard the Chairmen of Committees lament. We expect some of them to give us facts. It is like they have not had ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: how much debt we owe externally and how much debt we owed domestically. They are huge debts. Therefore, we have all manner of challenges, and you know it. We do not have to be told that banks and other financial institutions are now going for recovery. Of course, we know that even as they go for recovery, there is nothing to recover. We expected this Budget to give some incentives with the Government proposing ways of regenerating economic growth and raise revenue. There is nothing here. I have not seen anything. I have read through this and I have not ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: As I sit, this Budget has not impressed me as an economist and as an ordinary person. I read economics. So, tomorrow, watch out. This is not a conveyor belt. This is a budget-making House. We are supposed to have our own inputs. We are supposed to say: “Here is what we are supposed to do.” Now we are being told straight from the Executive what is going to happen. We have the committees of various ministries and departments coming before us, telling us we are amending. They are saying this is supposed to be done and it has already ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: not seeing anything outside the box. We are just being told what is going to happen. As a Member of Parliament, I will be asked what I have done. I will have no answer because I may lament here but, what input have I given? So, I have my reservations on this particular budget. I am most disappointed because there is no incentive or nothing that can be able to make me go home a happy person tomorrow. I do not support. I do not say anything. view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I appreciate this opportunity. The victim is a distant relative. Policemen are being transferred having hurt innocent Kenyans. This particular case is similar to one in my area where a policeman was shooting--- view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I just want to make a point on the same. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman, Hon. Kizito, because this Committee has been there. I want to thank him for coming up with the Motion on Formulation of Parliamentary Broadcasting Channels. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you are part of us. People misunderstand the work of Parliament and the Members of Parliament. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: First of all, the public misunderstands the work of the National Government- Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). I am sorry because the Chairman of the NG-CDF has left. They think that work is for people to put money in their pockets. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Secondly, I can see that this House is not even full. If we had these broadcasting channels, I am sure that this House would be full. Every Member would try to do his or her best. This would solve the problem of lack of quorum which leads to ringing the bell and wasting time for our debates. Members would be enthusiastic to come to this House, debate and make the best presentation for our country. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thirdly, as somebody said, the objective of this particular Motion is long overdue. Somebody showed us some documents here. People do not even know what we do here. The media broadcasts bad things only. For example, we had a serious issue this afternoon on a Member who said that Members of Parliament were bribed, so that they can vote for the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2020. That is what will hit the headline tomorrow. If we had our broadcasting channel, I am sure that we would do a better thing than what we will see tomorrow. view
