• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank my brother, Hon. Hassan, for coming up with this noble idea and bringing this Motion, which I support. First and foremost, when you talk about Kamukunji, in many spheres, it means getting people together for a noble idea and discussions to come up with resolutions. This House has had view

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: gatherings. During such gatherings, we would talk freely and come up with resolutions to either boycott classes or start throwing stones. That was part of Kamukunji resolutions. Therefore, Kamukunji grounds are synonymous with bringing people together to share ideas with the aim of coming up with a way forward regarding problems affecting the people. I want to thank my colleague for coming up with this Motion, so that we can protect and respect the area of Kamukunji. About a month ago, I attended a rally which was held at Kamukunji Grounds with CORD principals. The place is of great concern. ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: South Africa has protected the island where the late Mandela was imprisoned and suffered. In Russia, the Freedom Square is protected. Therefore, it is time for us to come up with a budget to protect these sites. I wish this Motion had come much earlier because we would have interrogated the Supplementary Estimates to set aside some money for the protection of these important grounds. I will ask my colleague from Roysambu why he wants to turn these important grounds into a football pitch. If you do that, it will be like Pumwani and it will all be gone. I ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: has suggested, we will go back to square one. There will be no grass. When our grandchildren come to Nairobi, we want to take them to Kamukunji where they can see the pictures of Mzee Muliro, Hon. Matiba, the late Kijana Wamalwa and the late Hon. Shikuku. These are people who helped us attain freedom and multipartism in this country. This area can become a local tourism attraction centre. We can also have tourists from overseas coming and paying a fee which will be used to maintain the grounds. It will be an attraction site for both local and foreign ... view

• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to speak on this Bill. I hope we will pass it this afternoon. As we pass the Appropriation Bill, my fear as expressed by my colleague from Trans Nzoia is the fact that money is going to waste. We are allocating a lot of money to the counties yet one cannot even see anything that this money is being used for. I hope that with money allocated to Senators, there will be oversight on projects and other development issues in the counties because we are allocating taxpayers’ money to them. I ... view

• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you for the correction. We are appropriating some money to the counties as well. As we do that, the money should be released on time so that the ongoing and stalled projects can be completed on time. There is a problem with the absorption rate because of the time money is released to the expecting agents. As we appropriate this money, sometimes the money passed here is arbitrarily slashed by the National Treasury. We handled complaints from agents, particularly ministries where we allocate money to them but they do not receive it. The National Treasury slashes the amount allocated ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Money released to the NGCDF is done in bits as late as December. By the time the money is released, projects have stalled. I hope the National Treasury will release money on time. My concern is on timely Exchequer releases. view
