• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Having said that, it is not only about looking at the equitable factor as a factor in resource allocation. What about poverty? Are we all equal in this country? There are constituencies here, where each and every corner is tarmacked. There are hospitals and dispensaries everywhere. Every house or home has piped water. Also, in terms of poverty, maybe, everybody has enough to eat every day. Are we equal as a nation? We are not. That is why even in our Constitution, we have the Equalisation Fund. So that, the parts of the country without equal level of development or ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The fact that this is recognised in our Constitution, we know as a nation we are all not equal and equitable in terms of development. The NG-CDF Act has failed to honour and recognise this reality in our Constitution. Having said that, I want to appreciate that we have done so much good work with NG-CDF. As a ranking Member of this House, who has been blessed enough to serve the third term, we built schools and hospitals before health was devolved. We put water structures all over our constituencies. For most constituencies in the marginalised areas, they will never ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: As Members said earlier, I think it is very important to amend the NG-CDF Act so that other parameters are included if we are to appreciate that all constituencies are not at par in terms of development. With those few remarks, I strongly support this Report. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to contribute to this Bill. I support the Sports (Amendment) Bill, No.25 of 2018.

It is so as to provide for a comprehensive mechanism to finance the sports sector in the country. This will be achieved in a sustainable manner because the Bill seeks to establish the National Sports Fund. Once we have a funding kitty devoted and fully committed to the sports sector, it will go ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: It is a point of order. Is it in order for my brother to mislead the House that the senior ranking Senators sat in the Committee of Experts, when actually, as Members of the National Assembly, they sat in the Constitutional Review Committee of this Parliament which I was a member? view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. That is okay. You have always been a very considerate Speaker. I stand to support the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2017. This Bill brings clarity to the ambiguities that existed in the County Governments Act (No.17 of 2012). It is an amendment to an existing law. The few amendments that are in this Bill provide clarity. They provide clear procedures on the disposal of a commission of inquiry report. This is a commission which is established to terminate or suspend a county government. What we learnt from the Makueni ... view
