• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: It is in this spirit that we really feel that some decisions have to be made. For instance, we were told by the senior managers, including the executive director or chief conservator of that organisation, that they were suspended and sent on compulsory leave without being accorded a hearing. This is a democratic nation. Our laws are very clear. Even when you suspend somebody, the due process of the law must be followed. It is in this light that we recommended that the whole board be dissolved and a fresh one reconstituted. This has been overtaken by events, as stated ... view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to conclude because there are colleagues from the Committee who want to contribute. We also learnt that logging activities are banned and the moratorium is in force. Last weekend, we were in Lamu following a Petition by Hon. Ruweida requesting that we suspend the moratorium especially on the mangrove forests in Lamu. While we were there, we observed that the blanket ban on logging needs to be well informed because there are small communities in small islands in the county that are really suffering. Their whole livelihood, especially for Lamu, revolves around mangrove resource. ... view

• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak on this very important Motion. This is a Bill which will enable us to share revenue amongst all our 47 counties. As per the provisions of the Constitution, it originates from the Senate. Whilst it is really important for us to appropriate these funds, we should demand full accountability, transparency and prudence in the management of these resources. It is true that some of our counties have been getting so much resources. Some counties receive as much as Kshs11 billion. For sure, we do not have a ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: mandates that are not theirs. I wish they could refer to the Constitution and focus on their mandate of ensuring that county governors are held accountable, of course, working in close collaboration and coordination with members of county assemblies. In many counties where governors have not been re-elected – mine being one of them – most critical projects such as abattoirs, big stadiums and major hospitals that have been initiated in the interest of the people of those counties have been neglected. It is just because the new Governor happens to have his own priorities. It is really a shame. ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: are now arguing in this House, as it has just been done by my senior here, that all the counties are the same. Yes, Kenyans are the same, I agree with that. That is a fact provided for in the Bill of Rights. We are all equal before God and before our Constitution but policies have separated us. Policies have made us to be where we are today. Policies have made others to be where they are today. Some counties have illiteracy rates of almost 90 per cent while others have rates of less than 30 per cent. Whilst others ... view
