• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Government agencies. This is timely and it is taking care of Kenyans at this very critical moment. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I also want to appreciate the leadership of this House. They are ensuring that, as Parliament, we do what it takes to adjust our budget and avail resources to Kenyans at this critical time in our history. The Kshs3 billion that Parliament has given to enable our country to invest in strategic public health institutions is highly commendable. I want to commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the leadership of Parliament for that role. This is highly appreciated and, as Members of this House, we highly support you on this. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Also, water has been provided in critical areas in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). This is important because water is required in terms of food security. A major way of safeguarding oneself from the COVID-19 pandemic is having water, soap and good hygiene practices. This will enable Kenyans to cope with this calamity. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Report. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order! view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to raise a point of order. In terms of procedure, did you propose the Question before you called Hon. Gogo to the Floor after the Motion was seconded by Hon. Duale? view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also stand to oppose this amendment for the same reasons that my colleagues have advanced. I fought so hard for the Equalisation Fund to be part of our Constitution in the 10th Parliament. This Bill will enable us realise that objective, but the independence of the board members will enable us to achieve the target. Other parts of Kenya which are marginalised are put at par with the rest of the nation. The independence is critical. I oppose that amendment. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose this amendment on the same principle that we do not want this Board to be heavy-laden with government officials. We want independence. In the 11th Parliament, the only time we wanted to access this money - they wanted to pay pending bills and loans for Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) areas - we had to fight so hard to stop that. That is what will happen, once this board is heavily-laden by Principal Secretaries. We do not want that. I strongly oppose. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question 44 of 2020, directed to the CS for Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs: (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a report on the implementation and operationalisation status of the Uwezo Fund programme in all the constituencies of Marsabit County since the inception of Uwezo Fund in 2013? (b) How much money has since been allocated and how much has been disbursed from the said Fund for the benefit of each of the four constituencies of Marsabit County? (c) Why are members of Uwezo Fund Committees in the said constituencies who ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee on the Universal Service Fund as well as the Water Sector Trust Fund. These are Funds that were created to enhance services to the marginal, rural and remote communities of our country. The Universal Service Fund is supposed to provide ICT services to very marginal and remote areas of the country. The special funds are given by the State to undertake this special project. I am a Member of Parliament of a very rural constituency, namely, North Horr. These funds are supposed ... view
