• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I support this because I see some organizations, for example, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), being well funded now to do their work. I also see the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Parliamentary Service Commission, which is actually our Commission and also the Judiciary being made to offer justice in time. I look at also the security which is going to carry a substantial amount of money. Looking at the situation in this country; Mpeketoni, Mandera, Wajir and almost all places, we need to also avail funds to such agencies in order to give services to Kenyans. ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: More importantly is the national title centre which we all know is going to solve many disputes in this country. The harmonization which will be done between the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development and the National Lands Commission will help our people. If this money would be available, our people would benefit from loans at reduced interest rates. Title deeds will be available on time and people can use them to take loans. In turn, this money will be used to develop this country. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I have noticed that this country is experiencing low rainfall. If you look across the country, the rainfall is not favourable and as a result of this, we are going to have low food and food shortage. We need to have food security. As we reduce our--- view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. As I was saying, we have experienced low rainfall in almost all parts of the country. The granaries are empty and that would translate into food insecurity. If we have money, then we are able to cater for that. Efficiency monitoring in our parastatals is also well catered for. There is also the Free Primary Education (FPE) and provision of Free Secondary Education (FSE). So, looking at all this, I tend to think that it is high time we urgently passed this to avail goods and services to our people. I support. view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this because Kenyans are aware of how much money we are spending in importing food. With this Bill, we will have economic savings. Also, Kenyans have not forgotten the kind of shame we went through when our people were dying because of lack of food. I also foresee a situation where we will turn to be food exporters, earn revenue and also create employment. Our people will have higher living economic standards. With this law, we can reduce poverty. Poverty reduction is a major challenge for all of us. But with adequate food for ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you. I will be very brief. You have taken one or two minutes, I will be too brief. The Budget and Appropriations Committee, which I am a member, has indicated that we are growing the size of the budget by Kshs10 billion to accommodate public hearing. This takes the budget-making process a notch higher; the citizens of Kenya have now been accommodated. This is an achievement. I have also realized that ordinary revenues are anticipated to grow by about Kshs1.1 trillion. I remember that about 12 years ago, ordinary revenue was about a fifth of that. Everybody has said ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: happening in this country; the animosity against communities and families in this country. It is going to even take our people into the money economy, thus raising the revenue of this country. You will require just to use the e-money to know the status of the land you are buying and the status of the property you are charging in a bank. This is going to hasten the process of borrowing. I believe and trust that, if that happened, we will not actually be conned. Many of us have been conned on land transactions and that, to me, is a ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on security, people can now actualise the Nyumba Kumi Initiative because security starts with us. Even the President said so. The budget that we have given to the national security organs is big enough. The other day, we adjusted back by Kshs2 billion the amount of money they demanded. We have provided sufficient funds for the view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: programme and the Kenya Police reforms. Those who work in those organisations should be compensated, so that we can be more secure. view
