• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to seek a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade regarding utilisation of the Equalisation Fund as set out in Article 204 of our Constitution. For the last four financial years, monies amounting to Kshs12.3 billion have been allocated to the Equalisation Fund but it has not been utilised to-date, and the Government does not seem to have any plans for the funds to be used in the foreseeable future. The Fund was set up by the Constitution to ensure that about 14 marginal counties can be brought to ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we have waited for four years. Two weeks is not such a long time for us to wait. So, I will wait patiently but I hope that the 14 marginal counties will get the resources stipulated in the Constitution. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is it in order for the Leader of the Majority Party to mislead this House that there is a mechanism through which the National Assembly can inform EALA? Whatever we pass here as a resolution must be submitted, through our Committee, to EALA to deliberate on. What is the point of the Leader of the Majority Party mentioning names of hon. Members who are not in this House? view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I, for sure, did vote, having been in the Tenth Parliament with hon. Duale. There is a fundamental issue that I raised. I mentioned that there is a mechanism through which our national Parliament can inform the East African Legislative Assembly. The Leader of the Majority Party is insinuating that there is no such mechanism. That is why he is calling people names and asking them to listen to him. It is not necessary for him to do so. It is out of order. view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, could it be in order if the Mover could be called upon to reply because since yesterday, almost every Member who has spoken has supported this Motion? view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairman of the Committee for a very comprehensive answer. It is well informing and they took their time to understand the issues in detail. I thank our President and the Deputy President. They took personal charge of the crisis in Marsabit County. They went out of their way to ensure that lasting peace is brought to Marsabit County. I want to seek only three clarifications. One, the Chairperson of the Committee did mention that all the home guards in Moyale Constituency have been disarmed. That is a constituency right at ... view

• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Moyale and those along the Kenya-Ethiopia border, including North Horr Constituency, will be safe now that our home guards have been disarmed? view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, you did mention that cross-border talks between the two governments have been initiated and we welcome that position. I really want the Chairman to consider involving the county governments and, particularly, the governor, so that they are able to mobilize the people of Marsabit County to support the peace process. They should appreciate that, that is a national function. The county government can also support the peaceful co-existence of our people along the two borders. Therefore, will he consider also inviting the county government to do their bit by officially enabling them to be part of that process? view
